Multi-Layout Greeting Card

Creating custom greetings card can be great fun in Funtastic Photos, They can please almost everyone, with this tutorial, were gonna take it to the next level and demonstrate a trick that can be used to create what we call a Multi-Image Greeting Card.

A Multi-Image Greeting Card is exactly what you guessed, its a greeting card that features more than one image! Yeah that simple, but we’re gonna show you if you’re interested.

Step 1 - Arrange Layout

Step 1: Add some photos to the Print & Layouts interface, for this card I’ve added pictures of my sister. Arrange them in the layout you like, make sure that the page setup orientation is set to landscape, then click on the “Save As Copy…” toolbar button.

Step 2 - Save As Copy

Step 2: In the Save As Copy dialog, you need to configure some settings before you save the image, otherwise its useless for printing. Its not hard, simply change the “Fit Into:” popup menu to read “8 Megapixel”. This will make sure that there is enough detail in the picture to print. Then click the “Save” button, when saving choose somewhere like the desktop, so its easy to find.

Step 3 - Print!

Step 3: Click on the “Close Print & layout” button on the toolbar, then use the browser to navigate to the desktop or where-ever you saved the layout to. You don’t need to open it, unless you want to do some other stuff to it, otherwise click on the “Print & Layouts” toolbar button and it will load the image and import into the Print & layout interface. Click on the Greeting Card layout, then change the Page Setup layout to Portrait. When you’re ready print your card.
