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
Contact me if you are interested in having me create a quantity of custom cards for you. Your family photo, custom calligraphy or anything design oriented can be created. Contact me at gimpmagazine.org/contact or create these yourself using GIMP, Inkscape and Scribus!

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.
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.

To His Coy Mistress
BY ANDREW MARVELL
Had we but world enough and time,
This coyness, lady, were no crime.
We would sit down, and think which way
To walk, and pass our long love’s day.
Thou by the Indian Ganges’ side
Shouldst rubies find; I by the tide
Of Humber would complain. I would
Love you ten years before the flood,
And you should, if you please, refuse
Till the conversion of the Jews.
My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires and more slow;
An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;
Two hundred to adore each breast,
But thirty thousand to the rest;
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.
For, lady, you deserve this state,
Nor would I love at lower rate.
But at my back I always hear
Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found;
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song; then worms shall try
That long-preserved virginity,
And your quaint honour turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust;
The grave’s a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.
Now therefore, while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,
And while thy willing soul transpires
At every pore with instant fires,
Now let us sport us while we may,
And now, like amorous birds of prey,
Rather at once our time devour
Than languish in his slow-chapped power.
Let us roll all our strength and all
Our sweetness up into one ball,
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Through the iron gates of life:
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.

"J D HANCNCK II FEB 24, 1970 SON"
When I was three years old my parents went to Chicago to visit one of my dad's air force buddies. My dad brought back this personalized token from a museum there. It was certainly not his first gift to me, but nevertheless I think of it as something I have "always" had.
The other side of the token reads, "Museum Science Industry."
The misspelling of our last name is amusing, given what a careful person my dad normally is.
This is one of many curious items collected in JD's House of Miscellany.
wedding cake ordered by the friends of the bride and groom... each layer signifying... they met while playing club volley ball and drinking beer... they are going to peru for their honeymoon and they are moving to south of holland to be farmers in the future ;)
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
