Digital Card Making with PSP

I love making my own greetings cards and thought that the card challenges would be a lot of fun. I have a lot of paper and pens...and the other things one would need to make great cards. I found myself trying to keep up with what is new on the market... then I realize all the stuff, the papers, glue, and stamps were getting very costly and I was running out of space to store it all.

That is when I decided to make elements for my cards in Paint Shop Pro aka PSP. PSP is a software that I have been teaching myself since version 3. Now using version 13 I have learned that the program can also create images and paint them as well. Light bulb went off...why not use it to make my cards and not just some elements for the cards. And so digital card making began for me...and boy has it saved me money.

This blog now consist of my creations that I have made using nothing but PSP. I found the challenge for me is to teach myself how to meet the different card challenges within PSP.

Well that is how all this digital stuff began...Just thought I share.

Just thought I share.

The other day while surfing the net I came across a website that has free down-loadable digi kits. Then I thought about those of you who cut and paste...do you realize that you too can use these free kits to make your projects. In case you did not know the kits usually contain papers and embellishments that coordinate. The kits are perfect for making cards easier whether you do them digitally or cut and paste, everything is there for you. The contents of the kits can be printed off and used as regular papers and can be printed to the size that you need. Some of the embellishments are so real looking you have to give them a quick feel. They can also be used over and over because you store them on your computer. The best part about the kits is they are FREE and there are a lot of them on the net. The kits can save you time and money...no more running to the store because you can't find the right paper in your stash. Just thought I share.
