1. Use Microsoft Word (see directions below) to create the printed portions of the business card and address labels (figure A).
Directions: Open a Word document; go to "Tools" on the top tool bar; click on "letters and mailings." Then click on "envelopes and labels" and then "options." Choose your label size; click on OK; then click on "New Document." Fill in your information and print on the card stock of your choice.
2. Cut out the printed information and assemble into a business card, address label or return address label (figure B). Remember to leave some extra room for the monogram.
3. Add a Tag Types clear letter sticker and enhance with an epoxy Tile's Play tile (figures C and D). The raised tile adds texture and a real finished look. You will be proud to hand this card to your friends or send it off in a letter to a loved one!
Tip: You can also personalize business cards, address labels, and return address labels on your home computer using your own monogram artwork. Simply scan in a hand-lettered or clipart monogram and scale it to size. Add your artwork into the label in Word and hit print!
