Beautiful Double-Sided Print

Any Canon PIXMA will create a beautiful double-sided greeting card that is sure to put a smile on your favorite ladies face. You pick the front and the inside to create a truly custom message.

List of Inside Sayings:

I tried to include all the special verbiage that I could to fully celebrate all types of mothers out there. Below is the list of the exact inside messages that you can print in your cards:

1. To the most wonderful mother there is!
2. To the most wonderful grandma there is!
3. To the most wonderful neighbor there is!

SUPPLIES:

• Your favorite Canon PIXMA Printer

• Our FREE printable designs available at the end of the post!

Print The Front + Back

Visit the end of this blog post and find the clickable graphics that say 6 cards and inside sayings and download them both. When you click on the graphic your download will start instantly. Many smartphones now allow you to save files to your phone, which you can print from there, or of course you can do it from your computer.

Under “Media & Quality” make sure to choose the settings, Rear Tray (where your paper will go), Photo quality paper, and then Best quality print.

Flip For The Inside Print

With my logo facing down, flip and insert the paper back into the printers rear tray so that you can properly print the cards inner message.

Print The Inner Message

Pull up the second file and choose the personal greeting that you will print inside the card. There are 26 to choose from and you can see a full list above. You can of course, leave the inside blank.

Score

This step is totally optional but makes it super easy to fold the card and gives a crisp line to the fold. Using a paper trimmer with a scoring blade attachment like mine or a scoring board and bone folder, score the fold of the card by following the line of my design.

Trim

Using a paper trimmer or a ruler and scissors, cut your greeting card out and then fold along the score line. Depending on your cut, you may have to clean up the card and do another cut or two to make the fold even.

Cut Corners

This is a fun little optional step; round the corners of the card. I think this is a nice touch. Using a corner rounding tool, cut all the corners… and your ultra personal card is complete!

A6 Sized Envelope

You can find A6 sized envelopes online and in most craft stores which are sized 4.75″ x 6.5″. These cards are designed to cut down to 4.5″ x 5.25″ to fit perfectly inside the typical A6 envelope.

Hands-Down The Best Crafting Paper

There is a unique smoothness and weight to this double-sided matte photo paper that produces the most beautiful print, while also being stiff enough to make fantastic things with it. If you have a crafty-mom, you might want to buy her a pack of this paper for Mother’s Day, I’m telling you she’ll love it!
