Printing: Photo greeting cards

Want to send a greeting in style? You'll first need to create a card.

Photo Greeting Cards
  1. Click Create a Card.

    When you're logged in, you'll find a Create a Card photo tool in your Photo Tools Menu.

    Gotcha: Don't see the Create a Card choice in the drop down for a photo? That probably isn't large enough. Most 4x8 cards require a resolution of 1200x2400 pixels.

  2. Click Categories and find a design.

    Choose an occasion and select a design from the 37 awesome choices.

    If you change your mind about the photo, click the Photos tab and choose a different image from your SmugMug galleries.

    You'll see a red slash through any image that is not large enough to make a card with the design you've chosen.

  4. Finishing touches.

    Add text if the card allows it. Double-check your text. Make sure it's typo-free.

    Click on the photo and drag to move your photo side to side. Zoom in or out using the slider that appears.

    Click Build It to save the card for later. It will be saved in an unlisted gallery called "Cards" under the category "My SmugMug Creations".

    Click Buy It and your card will be saved and you'll be able to choose quantities and finishes. Your selections will be added to your SmugMug shopping cart.

    Click Back to Your Gallery if you'd like to cancel without saving. You can always start from scratch and make a new card later.

    Make your choices and click Add To Cart. Complete the checkout and enjoy mailing the stylin' cards to your nearest and dearest.
