DIY Affirmations Cards

 Here is how I do my card latyout which you have to tackle first before you dive in. Just FYI I have Word 2007.

I opened up a new document and set it to "A4" letter size (8.5" by 11") same size as letters and mail go. 

Go to Margins and choose "0.25" for the top/bottom margins.

Then I go to Insert on the nav bar and choose "Table" A little box drops down with what looks like a series of little squares. Mouse over 2 in the first row and down 5 which translates to 2 columns and 5 rows which will create 10 cards in all.

You will then see your table show up on your document. Highlight the entirety and rt-click on it which will bring up a drop-down menu. Hit "Table Properties".

Choose the Center icon under Alignment so your text will be centered.  Click the "Cell" tab ...Check off the box next to "Preferred width" and enter 3.5" then OK.

Then choose the Row tab and check off "Specify height" Type 2" in the numerical box and then hit OK.

Now your layout should resemble the exact dimensions of business cards! 

 Ready to get started typing out your affirmations?

Due to the settings applied above your text should be perfectly aligned within each box...Want to change the font, color, and size? Easy - just highlight it and right click to reveal a small menu that will let you make changes.

And don't just stop with your affirmations....dazzle them a little with some doodles...If you've got a later version of Word then you may have more options...I'm using the Shape Tool here, it's got options that let me add these cute little hearts and make them puffy, glowing, etc., just for fun.
