E signature professional birthday party invitation

hello everyone we'll come back to ingenious creations and sedate Satori I'm going to show you a simple way how to make your own invitations you can print this out in any local printing shop or you can print at home and in today's video I'm going to show you how to make this using Microsoft Word and of course I'll do a separate video on how to do it in silhouette studio so the first thing that you have to do is open up your Microsoft Word and as you all know I'm with my previous tutorials I always go to file I go to save as and I will go to save document as word 97-2003 document it's just because I like working on that mode and then you're going to write the name of your file and you're going to click on save once you click on save you're going to go to a page layout click on orientation and landscape now you can make your invitations 5 by 7 or 7 by 5 I'm going to make mines 5 by 7 and that's why I have mines in landscape mode so 2 could fit going this way but if you want to do this 7 by 5 then you will leave it on portrait mode okay so once it's on landscape I'm gonna go to insert you're going to go to shapes you're gonna click on the rectangle make any size rectangle on your screen make sure it's selected go to the format tab on your height you're going to type 7 on your width you're going to type 5 so that is the template actually for your invitation 7 by 5 if you're doing it the other way around which will be the height will be 5 and then your width will be 7 which your rectangle will look like this then leave your page on portrait mode ok but I'm doing the 7 by 5 okay once that is done now this is totally up to you depending on the theme that you are doing I'm going to quickly design one for you guys and Polly you could grab some tips from here but again is totally up to you depending on the theme that your customer actually for or if you're doing this for personal use okay so you're going to make sure you click on your shape you're going to make sure you're on the format tab and you're gonna go to shape fill and you're gonna pick any of those colors from right here or if you don't want no solid colors you will go to pick a format shape fill picture and then you're going to click on a background of your choice to find backgrounds you will go just to Google and look up a background that you would like and save it to your computer I have a whole separate tutorial on how to save images to your computer like I said all you have to do is go to Google and let's say you want to denim background you will search denim background you will find whatever you like click on it and then from here you will right click and save to your computer ok so I want a small banner on top of here and what I just explained to you that is to fill your entire rectangle that is not to put individual images that is two different things so when you click on the rectangle and you go to the format tab in shape fill that's to fill your rectangle now to add individual images you're going to unselect your rectangle you're going to go to the insert tab you're going to go to picture and from here this is where you add your individual images so I saved a birthday of flag banner P&G when you save P&G that means is a transparent background image okay so I'm gonna go for where I saved it click on it click on insert and then it's gonna be behind this so while it's selected I'm gonna go to the format tab wrap text in front of text this is a PNG image you don't see no white background okay and that's what you need to look for and you'll do the same process and you will save it to your computer you're going to size it and this is just me designing you don't have to add this it depends on the theme that you are doing these circles around your image that's what you used to size your images okay okay there you go that's my foundation now I'm also going to add another image so insert picture insert wrap text in front of text size it to the size you want this little green button here you can rotate your images now I don't want my wanted sign in front of my flag so I'm actually going to click on my flag and on the format tab it says bring forward bring to front so my flag could actually be in front of my wanted sign then I'm going to bring another image insert picture look for I want like a little cowboy now these images I did not get from Google I got from mujika clip arts she has her own website we are actually affiliated with her and you can they she has a pretty good sale going on right now so you can go ahead and go and over and buy some clip arts again bring two from wrap text in front of text she has a whole bunch of beautiful clip arts and this is her website here I know they have a sale right now this one actually right now it's a dollar it's called the cowboy clip or wild wild west cute cowboy clip art and you get all these images now because we are affiliated we have our own discount code so when you go pay in the actually for discount code typing the word and Reena capital A and B are I and a all capitalized and you get an extra 20% for your entire purchase and you could use that code throughout whenever you make any purchases you could always use that code and you get a 20 extra 20 percent off discount okay so go ahead and over and it's called Mushka clipart characters they'll get back to the tutorial so size him up okay now I'm going to start inserting fonts so you see how easy it is so you will go to insert you will go to word our is a that says word arts you're gonna click on it click on word art you're going to start looking for your font that you would like and you go download free fonts from dafont.com I have a separate tutorial for that as well so I'm going to select a font and then you're gonna start typing then you will click on OK go to format wrap text in front of text then you're gonna go to shape fill fill it in with whatever color you would like go to shape outline no outline and start adding your font wherever you would like now I'm going to speed this process up so this video won't be so long [Music] just if you're wondering the font for this one is called P shaded okay and then now I want to put a line right under the six so you're gonna go to insert you're gonna go to shapes you're gonna click on the line and you're gonna hold down your Shift key and you're going to put the line where you want it to be when you press down the shift key it makes your line stay straight okay you're gonna let it go you're gonna go to format tab shape outline select the color that you would like your line to be when you're in the shape outline it also says weight click on the weight you want if you want a thicker line and then go back to shape outline it says dashes and I'm going to click on the dashes so I can look like that okay [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you you alright guys I designed a quick and simple invitation now you need to group all this together and then you're going to copy and paste it so when you will see me have two of these so I just click on this star copy and paste it to make another one when I wanted to use the same font I will just copy and paste it and then I will edit that same font and stuff like that okay so that's always doing the same for the lines I was copying and pasting so I don't have to keep doing the same steps now you're going to click on the rectangle you're going to click the shift hold down the shift key and select everything that you have on your screen okay you're going to right-click and group and group together and I think I didn't group some stuff so there's an undo button right here the arrow just undo hold down your Shift key and see what you did in group that right-click group and group it together now that you have everything grouped together you are going to and I actually want in my voice to touch down but it's fine cuz it's just a source so right-click copy right-click and paste all the background didn't group okay so we gotta go back undo undo and hold down your Shift key and click on your clear so don't get frustrated if some stuff might not group okay copy and paste all right so there you go so don't get frustrated guys but I know a lot of you guys get frustrated saying walking group you know how to carefully hold down that Shift key and try to select everything that's on your screen and then you're done from here if you don't have a printer at home you can save this as a PDF file remember at the beginning I had saved this as a different mode but that's just so I could have a word art but now if I don't have a printer at home I will have to go to file I will have to go to save as and then from here where it says save as type I'm going to click where it says PDF you need to make sure you're saving this as a PDF file if you're going to print somewhere else that is not on your own home or if you're sending this to a customer and they are printing themselves you have to save this as a PDF file because if they don't have Microsoft Word everything here will change the fonts the characters a lot of stuff is going to change now if you are printing at home then there's a print preview a magnifying glass right here that is called the print preview you are going to select that and you're going to see how everything is looking on the page you need to make sure that everything is inside of your page okay so this is a print preview from here you need to make sure that your printer is selected and where it says printer properties you're going to select that and me personally I owned a work for 7720 printer and then I like to print on premium presentation paper Matt Switzer's right here I'm going to click OK and one setting click OK and then I'm ready to print I'm going to print this on glossy paper and I'm going to show you how it looks ok ok I just printed them and cut them out this is how it looks I'm going to show you the paper that I used I love the Office Depot brand Premium brochure flyer paper now this is only 50 pounds the higher the number the thicker the paper you need to make sure that the paper that you use it is compatible with your printer I have an inkjet printer this works for both but that's the number one mistake that I see that people use the paper that doesn't belong to your printer this is a glossy a by 11 50 pound we can go higher than this if you want your invitations to be thicker this one is not not so thick for invitations but it works just fine okay you can find a photo paper anywhere Walmart staples OfficeMax office depot I mean Amazon and stuff like that now your envelopes it needs to be a seven size and it will fit your 5 by 7 invitation perfectly in here once you put your invitation in your envelope you can create your own custom sticker and put on the outside so maybe like a little cowboy sticker and put it right here and then
