Add A Background
Choose A Background Image
We have plenty of fun birthday backgrounds for you to choose from! Balloons, birthday cake, confetti, a plain colour background... whatever you fancy.
Simply select your chosen background by clicking one of the image swatches displayed below. Alternatively, you can add your own photo to use as a background...
Add An Image
Upload A Photo
Click on "Add Image" to upload or drag your photo file onto the design editor.
Design Tip: It's best to upload a photo that's no less than 1000px to ensure that your card design looks sharp and clear when printed.
Add Photo Effects
Click on "Styling" if you would like to add any colour effects to your photo, such as sepia, grayscale or adding a colour mask.
Resize Your Image
Click on "Sizing" to adjust the dimensions and orientation of the photo. You can also do this manually by using the arrow symbols displayed at the top/bottom right-hand corners of the photo.
Add A Picture Frame
Frame Your Image
Click on "Add Image" then "Designs" and then select "Picture Frames" from the drop-down menu. Choose your desired frame style from the options below.
Adjust The Frame
Adjust the size dimensions of the frame and photo to make a good fit together. You can do by either using the "Sizing" tool or manually by using the arrow symbols displayed on the corners of the frame or photo.
Frame Style
To change the colour of the frame, click on "Styling" and select a colour from the swatches. You can adjust the colour transparency here too.
Add A Shape
Select A Shape
To add a shape to your design, click on "Add Image" then "Designs" and select "Default" from the drop-down menu. Choose your desired shape from the options below.
Resize The Shape
Click on "Sizing" to adjust the size and orientation of the shape, in this example, to create a background section of colour. You can also do this manually using the arrow symbols displayed on the corners of the shape itself.
Shape Style
Click on "Styling" to change the colour of the shape, selecting your chosen colour from the swatches. If you would like the background to be visible behind the shape, simply amend the transparency of the shape.
Manage Layers
Click on "Transform" then "Bring It Down" to adjust the design layers. In this instance we want to move the shape layer back so that it's displayed behind the photo and frame layers previously added.
