how to add your saying

Put It on the Back of Your Card

  1. Choose a Double-Sided cardPick "Double-Sided" when you choose your design.
  2. Add your photosDrop your favorite images into the front of the card.
  3. Add a text box to the backFlip to the back, add a text box and paste your saying.

Make it easy to read: Pick a text size and color with high contrast, like white text on a dark background or dark text on a light one. Bold, serif fonts help too. Red text on green (or green on red) looks festive, but it's hard to read.
