    Create Your Own Valentine Card with Online Resources

    Happy Friday! The bird is singing early in the morning and it would be good to learn how to create your own valentine card online for free. A valentine card is almost everyone’s headaches when Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Thus, learn it earlier so that you will have more time to create a special valentine card for your loved one although Valentine’s Day is few more months to go. There are quite a number of ways to build a valentine card online but here I am going to share you a total free way. All you need is a color printer beside your computer and Photoshop. Ms Paint can be used if you do not have Photoshop installed in your computer.

    Step One: Decide the size of your card. You can make an extra large card for a big surprise or just an ordinary card with special graphics. The choice is up to you. Once you have decided the size, open Photoshop and go to File -> New (Ctrl + N) to open a new image. Choose your desired width and height.

    Step Two: Get some lovely graphics online. Go to any search engine and look for “love background”. Make sure they are nice and lovely. Open the image in Photoshop and crop the image to make it as background. You can resize or shrink it to make it perfect.

    Step Three: Make your own valentine card special with a photo of you and your loved one. Now you have a nice background, try to add a photo of you and your loved one would be a good idea. Again, you can crop the card with a love or round shape using the Elliptical Marquee tool in Photoshop.

    Step Four: Put some words on your valentine card. Words explain how you feel for your loved one. It is important to put what do you feel and what you want to say to her or him at this special day. It will be awesome if you can put a Valentine’s Day quote to your card. For example, a quote from Frederick Keonig – “We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”

    Step Five: Print it out. Get some paper and print it out with your printer. Use normal paper to print a few times and see if you need to edit anything. Instead, you may go to the nearest stationery store to get some plain cards if you want to make your valentine card extraordinary. Last but not least, yours sincere signature.

  • Make Your Own iPhone Case

    Make Your Own iPhone Case

    I purchased an iPhone Case for my iPhone 5 less than two weeks ago, however, I started to feel bored every time I look at my phone. A typical iPhone case costs from $10 to $70 depending on the quality. It is going to cost me a lot of money if I have to change my iPhone case every two weeks and what am I going to do with the old cases? In order to change the look of my iPhone, I know that I have to make my own iPhone case and that has to be cheap so that I can change it every two weeks. I look around some information online and found few websites that provides a real good online application for their users to design a customized iPhone case. If you are just like me who loves to play around with cases, you should try to make your own iPhone case with the steps below.

    First of all, choose your iPhone model

    The first step is to choose an iPhone model. Make sure you choose the correct model because an iPhone 3G case does not fit for an iPhone 5. iPhone 3G, iPhone 4/4S, iPhone 5/5S, pick one and then go!

    Choose the quality you prefer

    There are different types of case quality available in the market. A Barely There which is also known as classic slim case cost $35. They are ultra-thin and features shock-absorbing interior liner which adds a better protection to an iPhone. You may go for Tough case which cost $40 if Barely There is too thin for you. A Tough iPhone case added with an enchanced 2-piece design with impact resistance and shock dispersion. If that is not tough enough for you, you may go for Tough Xtreme case which adds an extra protection to your iPhone. Tough Xtreme protects an iPhone against shock, drop, rain water, dust, vibration, and anything that could be happen. All these cost only $45 dollars. So, which one is your choice?

    Design your own iPhone case

    It is time to design your own iPhone case once you have chosen the quality you want. Firstly, get ready of the image you want to put on your iPhone case. You can create any image you want using either Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft Paint otherwise you may use an online program to add text or image to your design. A virtual iPhone case with your design on it will be shown in front of you once you upload an image from your computer. Now you can use the customization tools at the right panel to adjust the size your image or rotate it to any preferred angle.

    Place Order!

    Place your order by clicking the Add To Cart button if you satisfied with your design. Changing a new case every two weeks will definitely cost you a lot but it will not cost a big fortune if you just change the skin. A new skin can be changed as long as you keep the case in perfect condition.
