How to make a greeting card
Dec 22, 2012 Greeting Box by Pearl Mountain is a handy greeting card maker app for Mac. Easily personalize greeting cards with the app’s intuitive interface with lots of art resources and design features.
Choose a size
There are several sizes to choose from, including a selection of 'standard' options. Make a card with the 'poster,' 'portrait' or 'square' option for the best results.
Select an eye-catching theme
Choose from a wide selection of themes as a starting point for your design. Don’t worry if your card isn’t exactly how you want it, as you can make detailed changes later.
Give your card personality with an image
Click the 'background' link to upload your own photo, or choose one from Creative Commons via the 'search' function. There's also the opportunity to select a color as the background of your card. Click the 'palette' link at the top of the design page for a selection of color combinations. Click each one in turn to see how they look on your card.
Send a heartfelt message with customized text
This is your chance to send a personal message with real meaning. Type your text using the 'edit' option, and make changes to its shape, color, font, spacing, alignment and opacity.
Download your card or share it instantly
Once you're happy with the design of your card, you can either download it for printing or share it via Facebook, Twitter or email. Don't worry if you want to share using another platform, as Adobe Spark generates a link that you can cut and paste anywhere you like.
