Thank you for your kind words! And I really appreciate the feedback – it’s great to know that people are finding the tutorials helpful. I am not on Twitter, I simply can’t find the time between a full-time job, a freelance photography business and blogging.

I never knew I could change from RGB to CMYK like that!!! Fantastic. Thank you so much for the tip I love your blog. So many “tutorials” that I see online are not user friendly at all. I love that you explain it step by step and have pointed us towards amazing freebies. Are you on Twitter?

Hi Tali,
I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial! The background in CMYK is C 17.25, M 0.39, Y 3.53, K 0. An easy way to figure that out is to just select the background, go to the color palette, and in the drop down menu (click on the little arrow in the upper right hand side of the palette), click on CMYK. It will convert the colors for you automatically.

Thanks for visiting my blog!

I love this tutorial- really easy to follow- just fabulous!!! Thank you so much. I had been looking for a frame like this and a damask pattern so seeing this tutorial felt like hitting a jackpot- ha ha!!!! I was wondering though if you have the color you used in CMYK format, instead of RGB?
Thank you soooooo much!

Hi!
Well, if you’re working in Illustrator, just copy your design and place it x 4 on a letter-sized document. I would group the design before starting to copy it, since you probably have to move each around a little bit to align them perfectly and you don’t want to grab just a small part by mistake. You could even keep them on separate layers if you want.

I hope this helps!

Hi there,

I\’ve made a 5.25×4 card so that i can fit four of them on a standard letter sized page with a little bit of a margin around the edges ( based on method 14). Problem is, how do you put four on a page?
