If you ever wished you had the perfect journal card to match your layout, but it just wasn’t there – this tutorial is for you! I offer a number of Journal Card templates in my store – these templates are easy to use and super customizable!
1. Open your template and any papers, photos or elements you want to use. In this tutorial I am using my Love You to the Moon collection and my Pocket Pals 4×4 templates vol. 1
Drag your first photo or paper onto the template on the layer above where you want it. Press CTRL/CMD – G to clip it to the layer. Look, it takes the shape of the template!
If your photos or papers are way too big, resize them so that the longest side of your photo/paper is the same length as the longest side of the template (in this case, 4″)
Drag additional photos and papers and clip them to your liking.
Next, customize it with elements. I am adding a few word bits and a staple to complete this template. Note, I did not use the exact shape of the banner on the template – but you could!
Finish adding your elements – don’t forget to add shadows to the template layers and your elements for a realistic look. That’s it, you’re done! Easy! Take a peek at my completed 4×4 card – ready to go!
