Coloring Book Greeting Card	

MATERIALS:

One sheet of half fold greeting card stock

One sheet of regular inkjet paper

Long reach stapler (available in most office supply stores) or a regular stapler

INSTRUCTIONS:

1)	Open a black half fold greeting card in vertical orientation in your graphics 
program.

2)	Design the front and inside of the card with graphics and text as desired.

3)	Save the file.

4)	Open another half fold greeting card in vertical orientation. This is the one you 
will use for the outlined graphics.

5)	If you are using PrintMaster, click on the graphics button. Set the picture type to 
CGM (these are the only graphics in this program that will print in outline). Select 
the graphic you want on the first page of the coloring book. If you are using Print 
Artist, select any graphic and place it on the page. Then select that graphic and 
click on Object on the menu bar and then select Color Effects. A new window will 
open with a scroll list of color options. First try black and white. If there is more 
black in the graphic than you would like, then try using white instead of black and 
white. Each time you make a color selection in Print Artist, the result will be 
previewed on your document.

6)	Add text if you like and be sure to set the color to none or white and the outline of 
the letters to hairline black.

7)	Repeat this process for the two inside sections of the card and for the back as 
well.

8)	Save the file.

9)	Print both sides of the card part on the greeting card stock. 

10)	Print both sides of the coloring book portion on the regular paper.

11)	Place the card part beneath the coloring book page and fold in half.

12)	Staple in the center – top and bottom - using a long reach stapler. If you do not 
have one, you can use a regular stapler by "rolling" one half of the card so that it 
fits in the stapler and reaches the centerfold. Make sure you staple from the 
outside so that the prongs of the staples are on the inside of the card.

That's all there is too it! A customized coloring book for your favorite child!
