About Other Projects


Although many of the instructions on the following pages refer specifically to cards (which include invitations and announcements), you can follow the basic steps to create envelopes, calendars, labels, stickers, stationery, and other projects. Hallmark Card Studio gives you many choices for these types of personal communication forms, too.

Art Studio
Although you have many choices in all categories, you may have your own ideas. Express them in the Art Studio. You can mix and match greetings, designs, clip art, and photos from our Clip Art Book, or you can create drawings and text from scratch. Plus, you can import your own digital photographs for an extra special touch.

Sending Your Cards Using the Internet


You can send your card by e-mail directly to one or more recipients. After receiving the card, the recipient can view the card as a movie on the computer screen.

Kid Lock
Hallmark Card Studio is so easy that kids will want to use it, too! However, Hallmark Card Studio contains a wide variety of content for all ages, including content specially designed for children, teens, and adults. Hallmark Card Studios Kid Lock gives you more control over what children see.

PhotoPower
Its disappointing when an important picture doesnt turn out well. With PhotoPower, you can brighten a photo thats too dark or darken a photo thats overexposed. Use PhotoPower to adjust a photos contrast, colors, and sharpness, and remove the color distortion in a subjects eyes (red-eye effect) caused by camera flash. With PhotoPower you can crop photos or create cutouts shaped like hearts, stars, and other objects. You can also trace the edge of a person or pet and keep only the cutout or clone areas of the picture!
Note: Some versions of Hallmark Card Studio do not include PhotoPower. If your Hallmark Card Studio version does not include this program, you will not see the

Reviewing a Card
Many Hallmark Card Studio projects contain sample names, places, and other information. After youve personalized your card, be sure to check for the following before you print: Have you changed all the personalized examples to fit your situation? When you changed names, ages, and so forth, did you change other related words in the card? Example: If you changed Alec to Melanie on a childs birthday card, be sure you changed any male pronouns like he and him to she and her. If you wrote your own message, are your spelling and punctuation correct? Use the Hallmark Card Studio spell checker to verify your spelling.

Editing Tips
With Hallmark Card Studio cards, you can change a few words or the entire message. Here are a few suggestions to help you create that unique card for that special person. Personalize Use the persons name in the title, message, or closing or in all three places. Youll often be given a name example, so be sure to change the name to the one youd like to use. Dont forget to add your own name, especially in a closing or on the back panel. Customize You can also personalize your message by including something unique about the person. You can work a nickname, hobby, or favorite things easily into a particular message to make that special card extra special. Explore Browsing through other occasions, categories, or recipients may spark a new idea or produce a message thats almost perfect. A few word changes can turn an anniversary card into a wedding card for the one you love, or make a friendship card into the perfect message for your mother.

Printing a Single-Fold, One-Page Card for the First Time

Printing Tips
Hallmark Card Studio is compatible with most Windows-compatible printers. Make sure that you follow the care and maintenance instructions for your printer. Follow your printer manufacturers advice about the type of ink and cartridges to use. If there are problems with the color or ink, such as uneven appearance or colors that do not match the screen colors, refer to the printer

manual for troubleshooting and technical support. To preserve the original colors of your creation, store your card away from moisture and light.

Using an Inkjet Printer


Inkjet printers print by spraying tiny dots of ink on the paper. The printer accepts information from the computer about what to print for a few lines of dots at a time. The speed of printing may vary, depending on the speed of your computer, the amount of memory in your computer, virtual memory settings, and whether or not you are using print spooling. See your printer manual for suggestions. Ink requires time to dry. The amount of time varies depending on the type of ink, the absorbency of the paper, the density of the color, and the humidity. In general, avoid touching the ink.

Using a Laser Printer


Laser printers print by applying the toner to the paper under heat. The printer builds the entire page to be printed in its memory before it begins printing. Be patient; it may take a while for the computer to print and the laser printer to compose your creation. (If the Form Feed light on your printer is on or the Online light is blinking, that usually means everything is okay and the printer is working.) If your printer doesnt have enough memory, you may get a Memory Overflow message on the printer or computer screen, or only part of a page may print. See your printer manual for help.

Choosing the Paper


Choosing the right paper is a key factor in making your Hallmark Card Studio card look professional. The thickness, or weight, of the paper is important. If the paper is too thin, the ink may bleed through or make it so wet that it appears wavy. If the paper is too thick, it may not feed through the printer well or it may not fold smoothly and crisply. Your printer manual will indicate what weight of paper can be used in the printer. Look in the Specifications section and under Paper in the index of your printer manual for this information. Generally, 60-, 70-, or 80-pound paper gives

the best results.

Hallmark Card Studio Basics

Feeding the Paper


Typical laser and copier bond papers are fine for printing. However, to give your cards a more professional look, you may want to use higher-quality papers. Often, higher-quality paper is a different weight than the paper you normally use in your printer. If it is very different, you may need to change one or more of the following settings: A manual-feed/auto-feed setting in the Printer Setup dialog box. Mechanical switches on your printer.

A manual-feed/auto-feed setting on your printer. Consult your printer manual for exact instructions. If you are going to print your card on both sides of a sheet of paper, make sure you understand how to place the already-printed side of the paper in the paper tray when you print the second side. Consider printing a test copy onto plain paper first.

Feeding Envelopes
To print envelopes properly, Hallmark Card Studio must know exactly how envelopes are fed into your printer. Please check your printers manual to verify the information needed for Hallmark Card Studio envelope configuration. In addition, you may need to change the paper feed guides on your printer for envelopes. This information will also be found in your printers manual.

Adding Graphics

Chapter 7: Adding Graphics


Hallmark Card Studio projects are made up of graphics, shapes, symbols, and lines as well as text. Graphic objects are surrounded by frames. You can move, resize, shape, and replace graphics. This chapter explains how to: Work with the frames that surround all graphics. Use the Clip Art Book to find graphics and add them to projects. Insert shapes into your projects. Select the graphics collections to view. Import photos into your projects.

Learning about Graphic Frames


Every graphic or text object in a project is surrounded by a frame, although you see the frame only when you select the object. You cannot move, reshape, or edit the contents of a frame unless the frame itself is active; that is, selected and visible on the screen. To select a frame: Click the frame.

To select a frame that is behind another frame: 1 2 Click a frame in the project. Press Tab repeatedly to cycle through the frames until you select the frame underneath.

Changes you make to a frame affect everything within the frame in the same way. Usually, only one frame is active at a time, but there are ways to select multiple frames. No two objects ever occupy the same frame.

The Frame Functions


The boxes that appear on the frame outline and in the center are referred to as handles. Each handle has a particular function. To move, resize, rotate, or skew an object, drag one of these handles. Releasing the mouse button completes the action.

Moving Frames
You can drag the active frame around the project and onto the workspace. Nothing in the frame changes when you move the frame. You can click the center handle in the frame or click anywhere in the frame. If you want to move the frame on a straight horizontal or vertical path, press Shift while moving the frame. (For best results in this case, drag the center handle of the frame.)

Corner Resizing Handle


You can use the corner handle to proportionally change the height and width of the frame.

Vertical Resizing Handle


You can use a top or bottom handle to increase and decrease the height of the frame while keeping the width constant.

Horizontal Resizing Handle


You can use a side handle to increase and decrease the width of the frame while keeping the height constant.
Note: When resizing frames, by default, the handle opposite the one you are using for resizing remains anchored during resizing. However, you can resize around the center of the frame by pressing Ctrl while resizing. This is especially handy when you have centered an object on your project and want to resize it without having to center it again when youre finished.

Rotation
You can rotate a frame to any angle by using the handle extending horizontally from the center. The contents of the frame do not alter, only their angle. The frame rotates around its center, not the center of the project. The handle in the center of the frame shows where the center of rotation for that frame is.

Skewing

Adding Graphics

You can skew or bend many Hallmark Card Studio graphics to the side. Graphics that can be skewed appear with the skew graphics handle (extending vertically from the center) when the graphic is selected. Drag the handle to the right or left to skew the contents of the frame.

Inserting Graphics
You can either browse through the graphics available in the Hallmark Card Studio Clip Art Book or search for specific graphics and insert them. Alternatively, you can insert your own graphic files.

Working with the Clip Art Book


In the Clip Art Book you can search for graphics by category or keyword. Click Browse to conduct a general search and browse through larger numbers of graphics. Click Find to search for specific graphics and see smaller numbers of graphics.

Working with Graphics

Click Undo from the Edit menu to undo any action, including Erase.

Using the Workspace to Crop Graphics


You can change the shape of a graphics frame, but you cannot directly edit the contents of a graphic image. If you want to use part but not all of a graphic, try moving the unwanted portion of the graphic off the edge of the project. Though still part of the graphic, the unwanted portion will be hidden and will not print. The rest of the graphic can be pulled back onto the page if you want it in your project again. The unwanted portion will be invisible on your screen and will not print. You can also cover part of a graphic with a rectangle of the same color as the graphics background. Place the rectangle over the unwanted portion of the graphic.

Duplicating Graphics
Its easy to duplicate graphics with the Duplicate command. Use this command to make a copy of the selected graphic. The new graphic appears on top so that it overlaps but doesnt completely cover the original graphic. With the Duplicate command you can quickly copy and place of graphics that you want to repeat in your project. You can still resize and reposition all of the graphics as you like, using the frame handles. To duplicate a graphic: 1 2 3 Select the graphic in the workspace. From the Edit menu, click Duplicate. A duplicate graphic appears in the project, overlapping the original. Repeat step 2 to create additional duplicate graphics.

Overlaying Graphics
Hallmark Card Studio projects can consist of carefully arranged overlays of graphics, symbols, shapes, lines, and text blocks. Shapes especially are often placed behind all the other elements of a project to give it visual balance. The Bring To Front, Send To Back, Bring Forward One, and Send Back One commands on the Order submenu on the Object menu are designed to help control the objects in your project overlay. The Send To Back command places the selected object behind all other objects in the project. The Bring To Front command places the selected object in front of all other objects in the project. The Bring Forward One and Send Back One commands are useful when you have several overlapping objects placed on your project. These commands move the selected object forward or backward one level.

Object order is defined by the order in which the objects are originally placed on the project, not by the objects relationship to one another on the project. If you use the Send Back One command, for example, and it does not produce the expected results, it is probably because the objects you are trying to move were actually placed several levels apart from one another. You can create complex overlays using these four commands, and experiment with different layout possibilities. To change an objects order: 1 Select the object to change.

2 From the Object menu, choose Order>Bring To Front, Order>Send To Back, Order>Bring Forward One, or Order>Send Back One.
Note: If you ever lose a graphic while using these commands, it might be covered by a larger graphic or other object. Select the larger object and use Send To Back to put it in the background. Then the smaller object will appear again.

Working with Overlapping Graphics


You can place, select, and manipulate overlapping text and graphic objects on a project page.

Working with Graphics

Using Close Views


Graphics and text are inserted at the default size relative to your screen. However, if you zoom in on your project and then insert the objects, this will make inserted text and graphics smaller relative to your project. You might find using close views in this way faster and more precise when you want to insert type in a small point size, shrink a graphic, or select an object from a group of closely placed objects.

Selecting Objects with the Tab Key


If you are having trouble selecting objects with the mouse, try using the Tab key. The Tab key cycles through objects on the workspace. To select an object with the Tab key: 1 2 Select any object on the workspace. Press Tab until the object you want is selected.

Centering and Aligning Graphics


Use the following procedures to center and align graphics on a project page.

Centering Graphics
You can use centering commands to place one or more graphics at the vertical or horizontal center of a project page. You can center graphics vertically, horizontally, or both. If youve selected more than one graphic, centering is individually performed on all selected graphics.
Note: Centering multiple graphics can cause them to overlap, or can cause larger objects to cover smaller objects. For hints on displaying, selecting, and reordering overlapping or covered objects, see Working with Overlapping Graphics.

To center graphics: 1 Select one or more graphics in the project page.

From the Object menu, choose Center>Vertically. From the Object menu, choose Center>Both.

Aligning Graphics
You use aligning commands to align multiple objects on a vertical or horizontal plane. When you choose an aligning command, the centers of all selected objects are aligned to the center of the first object you selected. Because the aligning commands work with multiple objects, at least two objects must be selected for the commands to become available. To align graphic objects: 1 2 Select two or more objects on the project page by pressing Shift while clicking each of the objects. From the Object menu, click Align Objects Horizontally. Objects are aligned on a horizontal plane, using the first selected objects center. or From the Object menu, click Align Objects Vertically. Objects are aligned on a vertical plane, using the first selected objects center.

Selecting and Grouping Graphics


You can select multiple objects and group them to work on more than one object at once. You might want to resize everything to better fit on your page, or tilt or rotate two separate text blocks. With multiple selection and grouping, you can select and work with more than one frame at a time.

Selecting Graphics
Multiple selection lets you perform commands simultaneously on separate frames. The frames are still treated as separate objects rather than as a group. Each frame still rotates, skews, and resizes around its own center, not the center of the group of selected frames. To select multiple frames: From the Edit menu, click Select All. or Press Shift while you select each object. or Drag the pointer around the objects you want (marquee selection).
Note: The starting point for marquee selection must be outside of any objects frame. If you have a background in your project, zoom out and start your marquee selection on the workspace.

To cancel the selection from individual connected frames: Press Shift while you click each object you want to clear.

Grouping Graphics
By grouping frames, you can perform commands simultaneously on multiple frames. The center of the group of connected frames is used as the center point around which objects are sized and rotated. This allows you to resize and rotate groups of objects while maintaining their relationship with one another. To group frames: 1 2 Select two or more objects on the workspace. (Press Shift while you click each object you want to select, or press Ctrl+A to select all objects.) Click the Group Objects button. or From the Object menu, choose Arrange>Group.

Color Saturation Use to make a pictures colors more vivid by increasing color saturation. Sharpness Use to sharpen or smooth the edges in the picture. Sharpen or smooth as little or as much as you want.

Changing Brightness and Contrast


Brightness is the overall amount of lightness and darkness of an image. When you increase or decrease brightness, you raise or lower the overall tone of the image. This means you add lightness or darkness to all colors in the image. Contrast is the difference between the lightest and darkest areas of an image. When you increase or decrease contrast, you raise or lower the differences between light and dark colors in an image. While you work with the Brightness/Contrast options, a divider appears on the picture. As you change the contrast and brightness, the right side of the picture is affected while the left side remains unchanged. This is so you can see the picture before and after you apply changes. You can drag the divider or use the scroll bar to move the divider in either direction to view more of either side. To change a pictures brightness: 1 Click Color and Enhance Photograph on the PhotoPower window, and then select Brightness/Contrast.

Changing the Shape of Your Pictures


Part of the fun of working with digital pictures is the ability to trim (or crop) a picture or cut out an area of a picture and then add it to a project. There are several ways to change the shape of your pictures: Trim: Define an area you want to keep and throw away the rest. Cutout Shapes: Create a cutout using a preset shape. Custom Cutout: Create a custom cutout by using the Trace tool or the Edge tool.
