It allows you to organize elements in a hierarchical order and control their visibility, positioning, and locking.
Pages: Templett supports multiple pages within a design. You can navigate between pages using the page tabs or arrows at the bottom of the editor. Each page can have its own unique elements and layouts. Vowpaperie Design - Figure
7 MODIFYING COLORS AND BACKGROUNDS:
Templett allows you to change the colors and backgrounds of your template. Look for color options or background settings in the editing toolbar and experiment with different combinations until you achieve the desired look. EDITING THE TEXT:

HOW TO USE GLYPHS

Glyphs are special characters, symbols, or alternate versions of letters that can add a unique touch to your designs. Templett allows you to incorporate glyphs into your text to enhance the visual appeal of your project. Here’s how to use glyphs in Templett:

ADD TEXT BOX: Click where you want to add text in your design to create a text box.
TYPE YOUR TEXT: Enter your text and place the cursor where you want the glyph.
ACCESS GLYPHS: Look for the “Glyphs” panel, usually in the top toolbar
CHOOSE A GLYPH: Click the character you want to replace. The “Glyphs” panel shows alternative symbols.
INSERT GLYPH: Click your chosen glyph to replace the character.

PHOTO INSTRUCTIONS

TO UPLOAD YOUR PHOTO:
Drag and drop your photo directly into the ‘Images’ or ‘Elements’ tab on the left side panel of the Templett editor. Then, select the template page where you want to add the photo and single-click the image to place it on the page.. RESIZING YOUR PHOTO
Method 1: Using the Corner Anchor

Select the photo and locate the corner anchor.
Drag the corner anchor inward or outward to resize the photo.

Method 2: Scale Tool

Select the photo and find the scale tool in the top navigation.
Use the slider or enter a percentage to resize the photo.

ADD YOUR IMAGE TO THE SHAPE/ PLACEHOLDER FRAME

Hold your uploaded image over the shape and the sample photo for a few seconds.
The shape will turn transparent green, allowing you to center your image appropriately.
The sample image from the template will be replaced by your uploaded photo.
You can move the image within the shape by clicking and holding while dragging it.
If you need to move the shape, hold shift to select both the shape and image together. Then move them to the desired location.

IF THE CLIPPING MASK FUNCTION ISN’T WORKING:
If you accidentally deleted the sample image from the template, it may have removed the clipping mask function. To fix this:

Ensure that you’ve already added your image to the template.
Go to the layers section on the right-hand side.
Make sure your image is positioned above the shape in the layers section.
Right-click the image in the layers section.
Select “Create a Clipping Mask.”
You’ll see an arrow pointing down next to the image, indicating it will clip to whatever is in the layer below it.

PRINTING MULTIPLE CARDS

SAVE PAPER” OPTION IN YOUR PDF DOWNLOAD

Click the Download button located in the top right corner of the screen.
From the download options, select “PDF.”
Turn on the “Save Paper” feature. If you also want trim marks, you can enable that option at this point.
Choose Paper size
Click the “Download” button to generate the PDF with the selected options.

WHEN TO USE BLEED OPTION
Bleed is a 1/8” extension of your image or background color beyond the trim area.
You should use the bleed option when your graphics or elements extend off the edges of your design. This ensures a clean and professional print with no white borders showing after trimming.
Professional print shops often prefer a PDF with added bleed, and they handle sizing calculations. Check with the print company for their preferences before sending your design. Vowpaperie Design - Figure 20

USING AVERY SMALL CARD TEMPLATE

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AVERY TEMPLATE 5302

Open your template and update the guest names and meal choice icons. Grouping guests with similar meal choices is a timesaving strategy.
Sample icons for beef, chicken, pork, and vegetarian are already provided.
Duplicate the page as needed until your guest list is complete.
After completing the tent cards, delete the AVERY TENT CARD template outline. To do this, go to the layers panel on the right tool bar and locate the layer named “DELETE WHEN DONE – Avery5302SmallTentCards”
Click the download button.
From the drop-down menu, select “Download PDF.”
Click “Download.” Since this template is designed for Avery and doesn’t require bleeds or crops, you can skip those settings.
