For a sweet year
During Rosh Hashanah, the celebration of the Jewish New Year, it’s customary to eat apples dipped in honey to ensure a sweet year. We’ve created a selection of Rosh Hashanah cards for you to send to your friends and family.

A shiny red apple and the Hebrew font Malkah are both used in many of our designs, and are available on Fonts & Graphics 2, now at the low price of $19.99.

Use the apple together with the Hebrew words “L’shanah Tova” on a simple folded card. Sized at 5.5 x 8.5, they fold to 4.25 x 5.5 and fit in a standard A2 envelope. Or use a flat card and use the apple in place of the “o” in Shalom on a 4.5 x 6.25 card. Pair both with a striking red envelope available in our new bulk stationery line.

Platinum users can vary the apple design by making it the background image on the front of the card, or use the Hebrew greetings in floating text boxes for more creative designs. On

a flat, 4.5 x 6.25 card, each Hebrew word is angled alongside a shofar, another Rosh Hashanah symbol. Match these cards with red or blue envelopes, available through our bulk stationery line. On a 4.25 x 5.5 card, the Hebrew greeting is designed in a text box as a background in light blue, and the English greeting is written over it in a darker blue. Pair with our blue envelopes, now available in large quantities.

Gracias, danke, merci, gratzi…
In any language, sending a thank you note for a gift is pretty much a must. After a big birthday or special event like a wedding or anniversary, use PrintingPress to make this task easier. Using the same mailing list as the party invitation, create a thank you note and envelope project. Not only will your notes coordinate, you won’t have to handwrite your envelopes. Of course, you still must handwrite your actual thanks.

Using a folded 5.5 x 8.5 card, change the margins to .25 inch and use Sky Pie to write “thanks…” in 88 point size. Print on our flamingo set of pink folded paper paired with flirty pink envelopes. Platinum users can use the same size card and create a border of text boxes that read “thank you” interspersed with the wrapped candy image from Fonts & Graphics 2. Under the center candy reads “You’re so sweet.” Order our plain white folded cards with pink envelopes, available through our bulk stationery line.

Do yourself a favor
You always want to make every aspect of your child’s birthday party perfect, but details always seem to slip through the cracks. Goody bags for younger kids can be difficult to fill, especially when you’re trying to stick to a theme. Now you can make adorable magnets using PrintingPress and sheets of inkjet-compatible magnet paper. Add some candy and a little toy and you’re done!

For Standard users, trim the magnet paper in half to 5.5 x 8.5. Create a 2.75 x 4.25 card and choose “Four” in the “Cards per page” section. We’ve used an image of a banana split, but you can also use a character or other image in keeping with your party theme. Feed the half sheet into your printer, print and trim into quarters.

Platinum users can personalize each magnet by using the place card feature. Create a 3 x 4 flat place card and add an image and any additional text in a floating text box. Our example uses each guest’s name and then “had a great time at Sabrina’s birthday party.” Cut the magnet paper to 3 x 4 and feed each one into your printer.
