Make Your Own Stationary - Adobe Illustrator Tutorial

Jacquelin Vanderwood

1 Well how hard is it to make your own stationary in Illustrator? Not too hard if you have Paint Shop Pro to help you. You want to start with a traditional letter size file of 8 1/2 by 11. Use the Rectangle tool and add a background color, no stroke on this layer.

2 Select the Knife tool.

3 Make some cuts.

4 Add some fairly light foreground color to the slices as it will need to be light enough to show writing.

5 Open Paint Shop Pro. Create a new file. Select the Picture Tube tool. Find the butterflies. Click once to create a butterfly. Copy the butterfly. Paste it into the Illustrator program. Set the Transparency of the layer to Multiply.

6 Repeat the process.

7 Create some grass in Paint Shop Pro and paste into Illustrator. Again set the layer to Multiply.

8 Add a flower from the Symbol file in Illustrator.

9 Type something like "From the Pen of..." in a fairly traditional font.

10 Add your name in a fun font.

11 You now have your own unique stationary. Quick and simple. Save it.
