How to make a foldable birthday card with MS Word

[@Gh0sTeR1765]

Thank you, this helped me out A LOT with making a card for the wife's birthday tomorrow. With the Covid stuff, and going through chemo for cancer, I do not go anywhere, so this is a Godsend. Thanks again!!!

[@CactusNaga]

That section about color combinations was brilliant! I too struggle with color aesthetics, and I thank you for that tip.

[@cousinJoJo1]

This video was perfect for me. I was able to make a card that was very difficult to find in stores. I was able to make a personal card from our dog to my husband for fathers day. thank you very much. I am now searching to find how to make an envelope for the card.

[@daverose9987]

Thanks for this video. I made two cards for the first time today. They look great and say exactly what we want them to say. :)

[@sarasilver5067]

Thank you Tracey for these tips. I had to futz with the printer but figured out the orientation.

[@ronscott1562]

Your clarity was masterful!!!!!

[@jennyaguinaldotorres]

Thank you for this video this really helped me making a birthday card for my little sibling and she's turning seven now. Thank you so much♥♥♥

[@TmacMusic]

Just wanted to clarify something. When you are making a greeting card you are folding the page in half and the content is flipped on it's side. So when you print it you flip it on the opposite side of what you select when printing on 2 sides or if you are manually doing it, you flip it on the short side. This is because you are folding the page in half so you are doing the opposite of what the printer tells you (if you select flip on long edge when doing duplex printing, you flip it on the Short edge, if you are choosing flip on short edge, you flip it on the long edge. - I created a Birthday card on My remarkable 2 and exported it as PDF and printed it and found the correct way to reload the paper to make it work like a card :) Just thought I would share to clarify it

[@helenagreenwood2305]

My grandson Noah is one on December 29th I'm definitely going to have a go at this thankyou 🥰

[@daphne9730]

I hope u make more videos. They really help me a lot

[@TheMegatron673]

after the front picture of the card comes out, which was exactly do you feed the paper so the right side of the paper has the picture ?

[@kevinnair7228]

Best video on the topic thus far ... thank you ....

[@GladysPerrin]

Thank you! I really learned a lot of ways to manipulate boxes in Word. I am an advanced user but I was so happy to find this video. You inspired me to use it to create an Anniversary card for my Sunday School Teacher and her husband. The younger students will color in and write their names. I was looking many places but you really inspired me. I made it happen because of your tutorial. Much success in all of your endeavors!

[@dionnegardner6265]

Hi, thanks so much for the tutorial. I have a quick question. I want a 5x7 and 4x6 cards. Do I set that in the beginning?

[@donnahcederna]

Thank you so much! super easy to follow along and with your help I was able to create a lovely birthday invitation.

[@maxliv387]

Thank you. This was most helpful.

[@raymondbunyan511]

So easy to understand, thank you, I know what I am doing tomorrow.

[@adventuresoffreyaandrommy9617]

MY card turned out very well, thank you very much. I will recommend this to others in future.

[@izamontoya1573]

I really liked your videos. It’s very helpful making diy’s in MS Word. Hope you also make a watercolor invitations.

[@kaylynventer]

This is so helpful, and so well articulated and guided. Thank you! I learned SO much!!

[@alexeri189]

is ist werid that I find this video satisfying? lol

[@garymark100]

Hi Tracey, thanks for this excellent tutorial, it's really helped me. I followed your instructions to the letter, but I'm getting a white margin on the right hand side of both pages that cuts off part of the text. Any idea how I might fix this please? Thanks

[@egaaronp]

Wow what an in depth video! Thank you

[@thisgisellerox]

This is fantastic! So straight forward and I was able to make a Covid birthday card

[@michaelbutorac5114]

I understand totally about the checker background since I have gotten images before like that and show up just how you have it on the screen, but what do you do in the sitaution when you actually have the image and the checker background and want to get rid of it? PLEASE HELP or make another video on how to edit!

[@hasanahummaylah4359]

When printing, do we put the paper back in the printer in the blank side or just leave it as it and it’ll print automatically

[@itsollieyx3]

Is possible for you to make a video on how to make a foldable on google docs? I use Word online, they don't have certain things I need to make a foldable card such as the blank page or to add in the shape

[@tiffanydalrymple9043]

Will it work if I print both pages but print double sided, Instead of putting the page back in the printer? I don’t have a printer, I go to the library and I don’t think they’ll let me put the page back into the printer…

[@tinkrb3lle]

I couldn’t get the .png image to display w transparent background like the video. It still shows the checkered squares on Word. What did I do wrong?

[@traceyhull4221]

Some .png's aren't true .png's they are a screenshot with the transparent background...I would pick a different image....

[@nitusutradhar2099]

IBM facing the same help

[@hottuckhung]

whats the difference if i set it up to print on both sides?

[@Gailat11]

I did, it works!

[@hiruninesansala2228]

It’s so helpful.. thank you so much

[@reneelinwood5796]

can you tell me which version of microsoft word are you using

[@cherylsonmor5]

I am still seeing the background of the picture….it has the little checks and says it’s transparent. Is there something I have done incorrectly?

[@akieliedzudo9798]

TOTALLY helpful thank you

[@user-di7ou1pc1g]

Very Helpful, Thanks!

[@taylorflyyhigh]

VERY HELPFUL! Thank you!

[@pamwoods1811]

What version of Word is this? I have office 365 and can't find the commands for alignment. Thanks

[@111starseed]

Thank you so much!! My beautiful card it’s printed now 🤗.. thanks again !

[@ebijohnson]

Thanks for this👍🏾👍🏾

[@jazminemasten9208]

For some reason I don't have the "transform" option under text effects.

[@LibraOnAmission7]

Excellent video, a massive help! Many Thanks.. I've subscribed and liked..

[@PursueGodliness]

That’s great super helpful thanks

[@PeterSchneemann]

Good video, but there is one thing I do not understand: what is “feed” and why do we need it? Can’t we just print it double sided with a flip on the short edge?

[@traceyhull4221]

I'm sure you can...a lot of people don't have high end printers and need to re-feed....but sure, you should be able to print double sided...

[@PeterSchneemann]

Thanks, it worked great! You can even do it with hard paper.

[@parthadutta83460]

Tracey Hull Hi Tracey sister After printing two paper How can i Add two piece two piece of Paper

[@kiwibaad]

how doni make the background of the picture transparent? i couldn’t figure that part to save my life

[@d.n.3652]

So that’s what the checkered background is. On mobile devices it sucks, but I didn’t realize there was a reason for it

[@virendranathvishwakarma363]

Happy father Day

[@x214214]

I can't find page layout or the ruler on my ms.

[@garima7895]

it really helped me. thank you

[@AdvancedGamerz]

This helped a lot but I can't seem to get the printing part right it doesn't print on the opposite side properly does anyone know why?

[@-luxky-4031]

This is so very helpful! My only feedback is that you do give instructions quickly....when you are going through the steps it would be helpful if you slow down. Thanks

[@ohfuffy4870]

You can simply click on the cog in the bottom left-hand side of the video and click speed and choose .75 to slow it down

[@anabelbeemster]

This really helped me, thank you!

[@nitusutradhar2099]

I can't find transparent background image

[@NOSKIPPIN]

Thank you for this, it really helped me out!

[@sankalpgaming2447]

I am from KGP school LOL 😂

[@taylorflyyhigh]

Straight to the point and I loved how fast you went, i usually have to skip through all this useless blather and I didn't have to do that with your video. Simply paused when needed.

[@JelscreationsNmore]

So helpful thank u

[@amirabriggs5760]

Woah that’s crazy like I did this and it worked,, thank you so much

[@upanjana]

Did you use A4 Size?

[@dynawmn]

Thank you for the great tutorial. I was able to make a cute birthday card for my grandson. I am using Microsoft Office 360 and the only thing I couldn't find was how to transform the font to curve down. Otherwise, it was really helpful to be able to follow along with your instructions.

[@w104ssc]

how do i make this into a 3x5 note card size?

[@traceyhull4221]

You mean you want to make a card out of 3x5 notecard? That's not very big if you fold it...what's the use case?

[@w104ssc]

Tracey Hull I am making a foldable greeting card 3x5 on each side. For thank you cards

[@traceyhull4221]

gotcha...will do that one now...

[@traceyhull4221]

Sorry, I just unpacked our last box from our move...will work on that hopefully this weekend...

[@farrismediamarketing9869]

Awesome!!! Thank you

[@shreetidas1192]

Thank you so much 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@isabelrodriguezrobledo9238]

thanks a lot"" :)

[@johnian6309]

thank you!

[@AccountingInstruction]

Thank you

[@marshahill1458]

Great info "I just had to slow the playback down

[@tjiarrikapayne2251]

The video was great you just went so fast I couldn’t keep up so unfortunately I had to find a much slower video

[@charlottetrevino427]

It’s the Mitchell’s I paused and caught up.

[@SimpleAbundance]

If you hit the gear, bottom right, you have an option to speed the video up or slow it down. This tool is great for how-to-tutorials.

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

This is way too fast. I tried and tried to keep up but I got so confused.

[@NOSKIPPIN]

Just pause it?!

[@MrGoddlie]

i dont want to put nothing on the back of the card but thats not my son, Murry is 100% sure due to DNA test thank you so much.

[@ffmissgaming6782]

Tq so much

[@OfCant]

Good info, but the areas you need to be slow on your to damn fast. Slow down and explain the important parts verses explain how to use google, I think we all have that down.....

[@Buckeyegal1722]

Thanks for the video, but WOW, you talk really fast. It's not like some of us have done this before.

[@personperson4370]

You are too fast, Its really hard to follow, having to keep stopping, and restarting and then going back to look. But thank you for posting

[@2JustMe1]

Way too fast for a beginner.!

[@johngreen1518]

Please slow down on your talking, too fast for me, especially with a transatlantic accent.

[@charmedliz6693]

Go up in your right hand if you use your phone and press on the three dots then choose playback speed and press on 0,75 that will be very good to understand and slow her videos and voice in the same time

[@haroldkravis8833]

Hello Tracey Hull I would like you help in making cards you going to fast on the video and if you could help me out and if you can give me your email so we can talk ?
