How to personalize your bookplates using a blank template:First, open up your blank template in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements (you can download a free trial of either at www.adobe.com.) If you don’t have them, you can do the same sort of thing in a word processing program so don’t worry, we’ll cover that too!It will look like the photo below and you will see three boxes in your LAYERS palette (if you can’t see your LAYERS palette, go to WINDOW and then click on LAYERS.) The first layer is the background color. The second layer is the guidelines to show you where the edges of the labels will be. The third layer is where you will put any text or images.
(The template below is one I used for holiday gift tags but it’s the same process no matter which blank template you use)
Click on your TEXT tool and type your text onto the label. I just varied my fonts and colors.
When you are finished click the little eye next to the box that says GUIDELINES. This will make the guidelines disappear so that they don’t print! Then in your top toolbar, click on LAYERS and then FLATTEN IMAGE. Then save and print!
If you are working in a word processing program such as Microsoft Word, then you’ll need to go HERE and download the template that corresponds with your word processing program. Then just type into the labels like you would a text document! You can use word art or insert clip art for images. A word of warning: It takes a LONG time for the printer to spool the document and print when you do it this way. It’s much faster in Photoshop but it will work either way!
Tip: For Microsoft Word users – If the template looks like a blank page, select Table > Show Gridlines to view the template layout.
