As you can see on the far left, there is a mockup view for each side of the card. It's nice that Zazzle automatically generates these mockups but they also allow you to add your own. We will talk about that later.
On the right are the details for the card, including the name, price, size and envelope options. You also have options for paper type, orientation and logo mark. If you want to create a vertical card for your store, just click the orientation thumbnail. But for our project, we will keep the option set to horizontal.
Once within the workspace, you should have a blank front of the card. To the left are links to design elements and the card layers. When creating products for your store, you will want to use your own artwork but for this project, we will use built-in design elements. We will start by adding a graphic for the background of the card front.
You have the option to add a solid color, upload your artwork or use a graphic from the list.
We also need to add some text for the thank you message.
On the right, we have the controls for customizing the text, including font, color, size, justification, scale, rotate, flip, anchor, letter and line spacing, orientation and curvature.
