How to Design a Greeting Card Template in Photoshop | Speed up your design and print process

A step by step tutorial on how to design a greeting card template in Photoshop, so that once it's set up, you can reuse for different designs of greeting cards and will significantly speed up your production process.

Although I'm 100% transparent with my process here, I know some of you may not be familiar with Photoshop enough to follow this tutorial, or just don't want to spend the time.

To save you time and as a way to support my content, I have offered this template ready to use in Photoshop on my online shop for only $5 USD.
Now available in multiple sizes: https://www.easysundayclub.com/collections/greeting-card-template.

This template is meant to print 2 A2 sized greeting cards on a letter size paper. I've mentioned in my other video on How to Make a Greeting Card (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoYjagvOXZ0) that A2 is my go-to size for cards because a letter size card stock makes 2 of these cards perfectly without any waste.

Toward the end of the video, I also recommended cheaper alternatives to Photoshop that do not require you to pay a monthly subscription fee and tips related to each program. These 2 programs are:
