Question
QUESTION: Hello, I need help making a card, but not a regular greeting card.  My boss asked me to make him a card for members of the store I work at, for discounts and what not.  He knows I'm good at these kind of things but I have no clue where to start.  Every which way I went with the card, it just turned ugly!  Please, tell me you can help.  I'm using Paint Shop Pro 7 on the work computer.  I've resorted to using WordPerfect to make a basic table for the card layouts, which is horrible!  Please help...

ANSWER: I'm not sure what you are asking me.  Are you needing help with the program? design ideas? template resources?  If I know what you are asking I can better answer it for you. =)

QUESTION: Well, I need help with everything.  I have no idea how to just make the basic design of the card, let alone add images to it or grammer.  My boss wants it to be the size of a credit card, which was no big problem, but when I wanted to make it look professional, it turned out horribly.  Templates would be nice and help using those templates would just absolutely make my day.

Answer
For templates you can use any of these:

As for ideas you could Google "Membership Card" in the image search engine.  Or if you need a professional card at an affordable price to fit typical small business budgets, you can get in touch with the A.R.T. Studio:
