Tips

• In general, I recommend sticking with the fonts that Apple's designers chose for each design. Otherwise, you risk picking a font that won't print well or may not look as you expect on the finished card.

• You can enter text only in the provided text boxes. Different themes may offer additional places to enter text, but in general, text options are limited with cards.

• With postcards, the back of the card can accept either a design that provides room for general text or a design that provides space for an address and a stamp.
