the dotted line

I don’t make custom announcements very often because quite frankly, it pains me to have the one I love the most rejected. Here’s a (FREE!) baby girl birth announcement (view larger demo) that recently got tossed in the “nope” pile. I loved it too much to just throw on an external drive. It’s ready to print at ProDPI as a 5×7 flat press card. The ProDPI crop-guide is included as a hidden layer.

Text is customizable, but color and design are not. Fonts used are Freebooter Script and Helvetica-Neue.

If you plan to use a lab other than ProDPI to print this announcement, please make sure you check the design in their crop-guide template first! (This file is actually 7.25 x 5.25 inches, 300dpi.) Otherwise the stripes and dots may not appear as you would like them to.

UPDATE on April 2, 2010 – here is an example of this announcement as printed by ProDPI. I have added an additional “back” file (as shown in the photo below) so both sides – front and back – of the 5×7 flat press card can be submitted for print.

→ download link – card BACK ← (please note this file was designed in CS2 and you must have Photoshop or Elements and know how to edit a .psd layered file — I do not provide technical support for this download)

If you end up printing these, please send me a product shot so I can see!
