2) find the 'shapes' menu and select rectangle. Here's the steps I used: 1) Click on the insert tab (in the upper left of the screen just below the window border). Well, this instructable wasn't meant to be training in how to use MS Word (I assumed that folks would already have that knowledge). I had originally made these cards with three separate pieces of paper, but alignment became a nightmare. The one that is too wide is not a real problem as it can just be re-trimmed, but the other is always going to be too narrow. Putting at least a small space between the cards makes it easier to trim the cards, if they are touching and you miss the line by a little you will make one card too thin and another too wide. This size will allow three cards per each 8.5 X 11 inch sheet of paper. The cards I made were 2.125" X 3.125" when finished (so the rectangle in the drawing program was 2.125" X 9.375"). Then in the top third draw the values of the individual cards.
If this image has a definite up and down remember to place it upside down.
In the middle third draw the image of the back of your cards. In the bottom third draw a solid black rectangle, this serves to block any light that could otherwise pass through the paper and reveal it's value. So start with a rectangle that is 3 times as tall as you want the card. This gluing stiffens the three layers and makes them feel like a professionally made card. In this method the cards are made of three layers of paper glued together.
