Hat-Shaped Card Directions – Card Inside and Finishing Touches

[This Red Hat Card Tutorial started Tuesday.]

Card Inside
Activate the red hat layer and Ctrl+left click to select pixels with marching ants. This will help you position the inside text.

Click the eye of the Card Outline group to turn off its visibility. Now all you should see are the marching ants on a white background.

Select the Text Tool and type your invitation, menu or message. If you select centered type on the text options tool bar, it will be easy to keep the text within the outline.

For most printers, it helps to Edit>Transform>Rotate 180 the text so it appears upside down as in the screenshot below. You can do a test print run on scrap paper to make sure you have it right.

Here are the instructions for finishing the card.
