Easily Edit a Custom Card Game
Custom gifts take a little work, but that's what makes them special.
STEP ONE:
Collect Your Photos
If taking the time to find photos for your card game feels like too much work, it's easier than you might think!
Recruit help! You'll need at least 17 images for a game, so start texting your loved ones and ask for photos.
Save the photos in one place, like a folder on your computer or in an album on your phone.
Easily grab your photos when you start making your card game.
STEP TWO:
Edit Your Cards
