Hi to all
Hope this Post is allowed here when not please give information to me

A five-year-old boy has terminal cancer, and his birthday is coming up. What does he want? Cards. His birthday is on July 25th. The address to send the cards is at the bottom of this article. I think we should get on this.

Read the full Article here: Boy with brain tumor just wants box of cards for birthday and make the Boy happy and write him a Card

greetings
groni

I made a quick folding greeting card template.

The easiest way to make a folding greeting card template.
1. File | New | Template (A4 or US Letter) portrait or landscape.
2. Units Menu set to mm (below Image Window [7]).
3. Image | Guides | New Guide (by Percent), 50% horizontal and vertical center guides.
4. Drag 2 horizontal and 2 vertical trim-guides, place each 3 mm from outer canvas.
5. Drag 4 horizontal and 4 vertical safety guides, place 5 mm within trim-guides and either side of center guides.

Relative position
Lower left, Back
Lower right, Front
Image | Transform | Rotate 180°
Lower left, inside left
Lower right, inside right

Keep all text and images inside the safety margin lines.
Depending on printer preferences cover art can overlap safety margins lines if clipping is not an issue.

Thank you very much for your help here
@pirate541
Sorry for the late Answer
I don't have a Facebook Account too, but great help from you're Kids (say many Thank You from me)
I become this Story about this child from a Friend in G+, i live in Germany but i read a lot International Magazines.
I read better English as i write it, but the story about this Boy (he has not alone cancer that are being many child's )
has packed me about his wish only Cards (insteed of Toys or much other) that is in this Time for me inexplicable.

Yes you are right.
My motto for my life is "Each Day without a smile is a lost Day"
Let's be honest.
When you have a bad Day and you see or hear that a Child laughs it takes a smile on your Face and open your heart.
And the reason for me is when i think it over, to make a child happy is the greatest what we can do.
We had a long Time ago a Songwriter in Germany named Bettina Wegner and she made a song it called "sind so kleine hände"
in English "are so small hands"

It is song about what we should do with children and that is a song it goes deep when you hear it and can understand it.

Take a look here it is the song text in german and english Children

have a nice sunday
