Getting Started
The first thing that you are going to want to do is design about 25 cards. You can use a theme like baby showers cards, graduation cards or wedding invitations. You can also design cards that are artistic in nature using digital art, traditional art or photography. Tools of the Trade
Designing cards is easy. Corel has many programs that allow you to create kaleidoscopes, vector art and freehand styles. Here are my favorite design tools! Paint Shop Pro Photo X2
