For this tutorial, we will pretend that the chairman of the annual rose show needs to buy 65 stickers with the words "Annual Rose Show" and the date of the event on it to give to visitors of the Rose Show to prove that they paid the admission.

Start Customizing the Sticker

First look for the customize button at the bottom right under ADD TO CART

Our Garden Lady Chairlady must first find the product she wants to customize. At "FLOWER DESIGNS BY SUSAN" this is very easy.

1. Go to the HOME page and choose a flower category, in this case the Rose Section and click on the button.

2. Then she choosed her favorite rose design from over 2 dozen rose designs available and clikcs on the design.

3. She can now choose her product. At "FLOWER DESIGNS BY SUSAN" all the apparel is on the first 2 pages and the nonapparel on the last pages.

4. She clicks on the Sticker and is ready to start to customize it for her garden club.

Change the Color of the Background

Look for the button labeled Colors and press it. You will see the word "Background" and the currently chosen color

YOUR STORE NAME ON A MAGNET

Stargazer Lily Profile Gifts magnet
Stargazer Lily Profile Magnets

Add your store's name and telephone number to this magnet and give it out to your customers.

Press the word "Background" and a color chart opens up.

Choose your color and this becomes the new background color for your item.

Change Size and Placement of Image

Change Size

You can easily make the design bigger or smaller depending on your needs by using the magnifying glass icons (plus makes the image bigger and minus makes it smaller). TIP: Holding down the SHIFT key while using the Plus or Minus keys, will make it larger in bigger increments; holding down the CTRL key while using Plus and Minus changes the size in tiny increments.

IS YOUR CLUB HAVING AN EVENT?

Add the name of the event and the date to this button and give it to your visitors after they pay the admission.

Change Placement

You can also change the placement of the image left or right, up or down by using the arrows. TIP: If you use the CTRL key while clicking on the ARROW, the image will move in very small increments. If you press the SHIFT key, the image will move in larger increments.

Adding Text

Clikc on ADD TEXT Button

Adding text is probably one of the most popular ways to customize your purchase. You can design your own invitations, make promotional items for your store, make stickers or buttons for your next show or exhibit. And it is very easy to do. Find the Add Text button at the top right and click on it.

PEOPLE LOOK AT THEIR MOUSEPADS EVERY DAY!

HAT WITH YOUR TEAM NAME

Text Dialog Box

A text dialog box will open where you can add you message. TIP: If you want each line of text to be a different size, color, font, etc, use a different dialog box for each line.

Change Placement of Words

As you can see, the words are in the wrong place and the wrong size. Notice that the text layer has been labeled "Annual Rose Show May 24, 2009" so that you know which layer you are working on.

Moving Text

First, our Rose Club Chairlady will move the text up to the correct position by using the arrow buttons

NEED A GIFT? GIVE A PERSONALIZED MUG

Whether its Mother's Day, a birthday, Christmas or just because, a personalized mug makes a great gift. Say "I Love You", put on the person's name, let your creativity loose.

Make Words Smaller and Change Words Color

Although the words are in the correct position, they look too big. Also, our chairlady thought it would look prettier if the words wore a different color.

Change the Font

Our garden lady might be satisfied with the way her sticker looks now but she decided she wanted a fancier font.

She clicked on the font button and chose a fancier font.

TIP: If you do each line of text individually, you can choose a different size, color and/or font for each line.

KEYCHAINS ARE A GREAT PROMOTIONAL ITEM

Keychains make a great promotional item because people always have their keychain with them.
