As the mother of a middle-school boy I get pretty excited when I get to design “girly” things! So, when I started working out designs for my new watercolor baby announcements and invitations this little pink beauty was actually the first.
Apricot Flowers is designed to be printed front and back (although you don’t have too) and you can use it as an invitation as well! She’s available for sale through my Etsy shop as a DIY printable so I thought I would make things a little easier by giving a quick tutorial to use PicMonkey to create your announcement with a picture of your new precious bundle of joy!
Come by tomorrow for a free set of matching thank you notes!
PicMonkey Printable tutorial:
1. Go to PicMonkey.com (no sign up required)
2. Choose your size (A7 is a standard 5×7 size)
3. Choose the “Open” drop-down menu and choose where to select your photo from.
4. Find your picture and choose either “Jack” or “Bubbles” for your placement and click “Save”
5. If needed, crop your photo to desired size.
6. Now, on the far left of your screen, select the butterfly icon (Overlay).
7. When pop-up opens, select “Your Own” and open the frame file that you’ve purchased and downloaded.
8. Right-click on the frame and select “Original Size” from the drop-down menu.
9. Click in the area outside of your work and the pop-ups will disappear. At this point, you can add text by selecting the “Tt” in the left-side toolbar and create your textbox by selecting “Add“Text”.
10. Save to your computer. This file can be used to print on your computer or through a printing service.
*You can now select “Share” to send out via email, Facebook, etc.
Happy Printing!
