hey welcome to girl today I will show
you how to create the school looking
happy birthday card inside Microsoft
Word and you can imagine that this is
like the folded card when this is the
first page this is the inner part of the
card and this on the left is the back
page and there is this little gray text
down here which says just where I did
get this image from and the icons from
but don't worry I will put the links in
the description now the idea for this
card actually started this photograph
from Texas done with Dominica rose by
area like this photo and I thought about
this saying you know when life gives you
lemons if you just put this into Google
Images you will get like a dozen of
images with different endings you know
some funny ones some cliche ones so you
can spend some time in there trying to
find something which suits your needs
maybe not as cliche as I have used in my
in my you know card so with that said
let's just jump into blank document and
start creating the card so I will start
in blank document and I will change in
the layout I will change the orientation
from portrait to landscape and I will
also change of file or paper size to
letter which is the US version of the a4
which is 8 and 1/2 by 11 inches I want
two columns so I'll select two columns
and I will probably add few more line
stops now I want to have some kind of
separator or some guideline where it's
the half of the page and I can probably
draw a new line so insert shapes line
wait until the menu is loaded I will
draw it with the shift key being pressed
like so and I want to position it around
the middle of the page now if I do it
like so it will be quite hard to work
with because it may be moved with the
content and I have to copy it for every
single page so instead I will just cut
this into clipboard so ctrl X to put it
in to clipboard and I will double click
around here to jump into the header and
footer section now I will paste it move
it around the middle of the page
right-click and select format layout
options and set this to be five and half
inches based on the page because the
page is 11 inches wide and 0 inches
based on the page as well so now it's
exactly in the middle
I can change in the form
a ribbon I can change the outline to be
some darker gray color and I can double
click in around the middle of the page
to jump outside of the header and footer
now the advantage of doing it like this
is I can jump into the next page and you
will see that immediately I do have this
line in here as well and it
I cannot accidentally just select it or
move it or delete it so that's great so
the next step is to insert this
photograph I'll open my browser directly
this photo and set the copy image I can
of course as well said you know say it
will do free download this image in the
high-resolution if I want jump into my
document and just paste it in here set
the layout options to be behind the text
and just position it on the right side
of the page like so like this okay maybe
make it just a little bit bigger like so
okay kind of like it now we need text so
I will insert a new text box insert
shapes and it will be a text box I will
draw it like this and of course right in
when life gives you lemons I have to
change the language that only happens to
me because I'm using a Czech version of
worked and I will increase the font size
to some much much bigger size now for
the actual font used I will use font
called a sensor from font fabric which
is a paid fund but they offer a limited
version of the font for free so you can
just click download for free it don't
doesn't have all the characters but it's
perfectly fine for our use case so I
will change the font to sensor like so
and maybe increases file sizes just a
little bit more like so now for the text
box I'll open the format pane or form a
label and change the fill to no fill and
the outline to no outline and for the
text itself negative Center aligned and
maybe decrease the spacing little bit so
I'll open the line spacing options set
to no no spacing before or after and the
line spacing should be multiples of
maybe 0.7 or 0.8 now just to make this
aligned in the middle I will open the
format ribbon
and in the aligned textile said is to be
aligned to the middle okay and I'm very
happy with the result I kind of like it
so this will be our first page I can
copy this text box in the clipboard
control C and just paste it in here and
then here I'll of course writing add
vodka I have to start writing from the
middle of the text box add vodka and
enjoy your birthday okay and I will
decrease the font styles just so I can
see everything like so add vodka and
enjoy your birthday hopefully there's no
journal typos in here okay now what's
missing
compared to our my original card is
there was this icon with the with the
glass of vodka so I will jump to my
browser I have this icon opened its from
the flat icon website and it's this one
and I can download it in here PNG or SVG
file now the PNG file is fine but it
wouldn't be it wouldn't allow us to
change color so it's much better idea to
download it as SVG file so I will just
download it and inside Microsoft Word I
will select insert new picture and I
have it in my pictures and this is this
glass of water with a service whatever
so I'll insert this SVG file and I will
change this layout to be behind the text
and make it just a little bit smaller
now because this is an SVG file it's a
vector file I can scale it to any size
and it will be still crisp and ER
advantages I can change the color
because you know it's just a vector I
probably will not change the color but
you can still open the format ribbon and
if you want you can send the graphic
file to some different color if you wish
to I will probably keep it black for
this case okay so what was in my
original card was also a different kind
of background and that's only done with
the rectangular so I'll insert shapes
being the rectangle so this is very
tangle I will just grow it much bigger
than anything else send this to back
behind everything actually I need to
send this behind text
and align it properly and for the right
one I've used some very light gray color
so the outline is involved line and the
fill should be very light gray maybe
this one I will copy it and paste it one
more time with to the left and for the
left I've used some kind of yellow or
something in between yellow and orange
color
if I open beam or fill colors the RGB
values are 255 215 and 103 I've probably
start with this color and maybe make it
a little bit more to the yellow here
like so like this so it kind of matches
the photograph on the left side so the
very last piece which is missing is this
kind of lemon pattern overlaid on the
left side of the inner part of D of the
card and for this one I've also used a
different icon which is this very simple
lemon icon from the flat icon so I will
as well download the SVG file and in my
document I will insert it so insert
pictures in my pictures I have this icon
which is just called icon SVG and what I
will do is I will change the layout to
be behind the text zoom in a little bit
just so I can see it there and I will
rotate it by 45 degrees by holding the
shift key on my keyboard like so then I
will draw a new rectangle and the
rectangle is important just because I
want to have some spacing around this
shape so I will draw a new rectangle
like so like this but for the rectangle
also the fill to no fill and outline to
no outside so I only only sets the size
of our pattern I will open the selection
paints of home select and selection pane
and I will select this rectangle
together with this graphics which is
this one
I'm a group it so it's easier to work
with so I'll group it into one group and
just copy this into clipboard holding
the ctrl C or just copying it with this
button copy and I can hide it because I
don't I don't need it maybe before I do
it I will probably change the fill color
for Lemon to some different ones so I
will change the fill color to maybe this
orange and just in case copied into
clipboard one more time so now this
image is copied into clipboard
I can zoom out hide this group and over
the this left part of the inner part I
will draw a new rectangle one more
rectangle so insert shapes rectangle and
that will grow pretty big right click
and select format shape and for the line
a low set of course no line because I
don't want any line and for the fill I
will use a picture fill and you know
it's already predefined from my previous
session but I will click insert from
clipboard then I will say I want to tile
a picture as texture which will just you
know tile it and by default the
mirroring is set to none so it's just
like this but I've used the murder type
to be both which creates those more
interesting pattern I guess so this is
similar what was used may be a for this
case I like none just so it's it's
simpler
it fits the theme better okay so I will
close all those paints so they are not
distracting maybe position this pattern
a little bit more to the center and zoom
out just so we can see both pages and
that's it that's how you create a nice
looking at the birthday card inside
Microsoft Word in almost no time thanks
for watching
you
