Learn how to create personalized greeting cards using GIMP, Inkscape and Scribus. This year I decided to create some cards for my family, friends, co-workers and calligraphy guild members (card exchange).
I created 60 personalized 5″ x 7″ (A7) greeting cards. Each card had a persons (or family’s) name done in authentic calligraphy draped on top of seasonal stock photography and textures. The inside of the cards have greetings also done in authentic calligraphy — around six greetings that are mixed and matched with the cards. All of the lettering was completed with my new designer type that I plan to offer commercially. I also created a couple of stock cards for events that come up throughout the year.
This project workflow consisted of starting in GIMP for processing the background images and the typeface itself, then Inkscape for the layout of each card (outsides & insides), then Scribus for the production of a single 120 page PDF (version 1.4) file that was sent to the print shop. This was a really fun project that anyone can do using completely FREE software. I have two courses that would help you create these from start to finish — Digital Arts Course & my Desktop Publishing Course that are available at gimpmagazine.org/courses
Overall I am really happy with the outcome. The quality of the print job was exceptional. It is unusual to get a completely personalized card with your name on it so everyone has expressed thanks and some have said they look forward to next year. I really love the look of these cards. The printing specifications include:
-5″ x 7″
-Double sided
-Scored & folded
-Full bleed printing (added 1/8″ around – 7.25″ x 10.25″)
-Colour
-FSC Standard Gloss Cover – White – 111lb paper
-Uses standard A7 Envelopes

Cheers & Seasons Greetings

When I had a slab poured for my garage, I debated about going out that evening and writing something in the fresh cement. I couldn't think of anything cool to write, so I did nothing. Imagine my surprise when I went out the next morning to find that it had been personalized with paw prints.

I made this "MP" brooch for a retirement gift. It is forged brass with a stainless steel pin. I was inspired by Alexander Calder's initials brooches.
This is a recycled Crown Royal bottle, all labels removed, that I turned into a pretty soap dispenser for the bathroom. This is a gift so it is personalized with the initial if their last name, that is etched on the bottle.
This 2 tier cake has lavender stripes and swags accented with pink jewels. There were lavender crowns on the top tier and the birthday girls name pops off the cake. The cake is pearlized and covered with a sugar crystals for extra sparkle
12 personalized favor tags for the ultimate party thrower. They are perfect for baby showers and kids birthday parties.
Each favor tag is printed on textured 80lb. card stock measuring 2" in diameter. Every tag is hole punched and secured with a stainless steel eyelet and finished with a chocolate ribbon. The ribbon measures 9" once fed through the eyelet.
I'm usually not one who fancies overly complicated tactical weaponry, so I tried to keep it neat and somewhat simple. Custom parts include the collapsible stock, pistol grip, magazine, hand-guard, flash-hider, iron sight, dust cover and scope. (Also engraved a logo of sorts into the receiver)
Enjoy.
