DIY Postcards: Make Your Own Like Merrill's!

In summary, to get started with making your own postcards, you will need some basic supplies such as postcard paper, scissors, glue or tape, and any decorations or embellishments you would like to use. No special equipment is needed, as all the necessary materials can be easily found at any craft store or online. While regular paper can be used, it is recommended to use postcard paper or cardstock for sturdiness. Your own photos or images can be used to personalize the postcards, and for a professional look, it is important to use high-quality materials and pay attention to details such as spacing and alignment.

Can I make my own postcards similar to the ones you purchase from Merrill or am I restricted to using authorized dealers for something like that???
 
You can make some of your own postcards. You just have to be careful with the registered trademarks and such. You also have to take into consideration time & materials to see if it would be worth it.
 
You can make your own, but you can't use the tag line except as part of the logo. And you can't use the logo if you're having someone else (like VistaPrint or a local print shop) print them.

I'm going to make them myself on the computer. I scrapbook and always have the heavy duty cardstock around. They're easy enough to print out, but I wasn't sure what logo I could use and what I couldn't.
 
I make my own when I can get them Free from Vista. Just put the ® after the PC name and don't use the logo.

I have also printed my own before. I use card stock paper and print 4 to the page.

The logo meaning "Discover the Chef in You"??
 
That's the tag line. You can't use that at all unless it's part of the logo. The logo is the name plus the chef's hat. You can download them from CC.
