In your word processor:

  1. You need to set your page to landscape, which means the paper is held horizontally. For MS Word 2000: File -> Page Setup -> Paper Size ->Landscape.
  2. Format the page so it has two columns. For MS Word 2000: Format -> Columns -> Two.
  3. Set the bottom margin to 7". Just slide the margins on the left. Insert a Text Box across the bottom middle of the first column. For MS Word 2000: Insert -> Text Box.
  4. At the bottom type 'Happy Birthday!!' in the Fabulous 50s font at size 26, font color matching your pattern paper.
  5. Copy text and paste a second one in the other column at the bottom, so that you have two.
  6. Check the print page set up and make sure the text boxes are centered in their columns, if so, print out. If not, go back and center, then print out.

When it is printed out cut the paper in half so that you have the two cards as shown.
