Card making instructions and tips.

1.      Go to our website home page: www.customphotogiftcards.com and click on the photo.

2.      Follow the prompts to upload you photo. For best results select a high resolution .jpg photo of 800 kb up to 2.00 MB in size.  The higher the resolution the better. (But NOT larger then 2.00 MB)  When you click on “upload”. You may need to wait a few minutes for the photo to upload depending on you internet upload speed.

3.      Once your photo is uploaded you will see it in the layout area. The dashed rectangle is the card area. Layout your card by using the icons on the right to zoom in and move your photo around. You can also “click and drag” on the photo to move it around.  The Logo circle lets you know where the logo will show on your card. Do not locate objects in your photo in this area if you want the logo to show. Just fill in the dashed rectangle with what you want to show on your card. Keep important objects, like faces about 1/8 inch inside the dashed lines. (The manufacturing process trims a little off the sides of the photo.)

4.     When you are happy with your layout, Click on “Done”. (Wait… for the preview of your card to appear.)

5.      If you are satisfied with your card Preview click on “Click here if you are done editing the picture”.

6.      Select the option you want for your card. The default options are; "Add no Money" to your card and "Yes" to show the Starbucks logo.  If you would like to add money to your card you can do so here. Just select the amount of money you would like on your card: $20.00 or $40.00. The money you add to your card will be added to you order.  Your card is re-loadable, so, you can also add money to you card at any Starbucks store.
