My recommendation for trying this is to start with a sheet of notepad paper. Since there are many sheets of paper, if you mess one up, it's not a big loss and it's a great way to practice before printing on a pocket card or tag of which you only have one. Measure the outer dimensions of the note pad (3" x 5") and then the margins for the boxes so that you know where to put your type. On your computer, create a document that is 3" x 5" in your favorite program (I'm using Adobe Illustrator and Silhouette Studio in my video because those are the programs I use the most, but any program will work with this project). Use guidelines to mark off the areas where you want the type to go based on your measurements. Draw a box around the outer edge of your document and type in your text. Print this document on a sheet of plain paper.

Use a removable tape runner (mine is a Tombow), tape the printed page that just came out of your printer. Adhere the notepad to the sheet of printer paper, being sure to get it right inside the lines of the box. Confirm that your text is in the correct position by holding it up to the light so that you can see through it. Print the sheet again, but remove the black box before printing.

If you watch the video, you will see that I forgot to do this with the tag, but it's an easily fixable mistake.

You can do this with any cards or dashboards. The only limit is how willing you are to measure all of the text boxes. You can see on the "enjoying" pocket card and the "loving" TN dashboard, that I was able to perfectly place my text in some small areas. Take a look at my video for a little bonus where I also print directly onto one of the glassine bags that the kit items come in each month. I hope that you give this trick and try and let me know how it turns out for you!
