Once you are all set, follow these steps to make your own baby announcement:

Step 1. Choose a Pregnancy Announcement Template

Open the baby announcement app and click Create New Project. Use adorable templates if you want to create your custom card in under 5 minutes. Already know the gender of your baby? In the Greeting Cards and Children sections, you’ll find both “it’s a girl” and “it’s a boy” templates. Making ultrasound pregnancy announcements is also a nice idea. Prefer modern and minimalistic cards with fewer decor and more photos? Switch to Page Layouts. Wanna make a one-of-a-kind design? Switch to Blank Project and create your personalized collage from scratch.

Step 2. Bring Your Pregnancy Photos into the Template

Now, drop your favorite pics into the empty photo frames. The pictures will automatically adjust to the shape and size of such boxes. If some objects are accidentally out of sight, you can fix that by clicking on your photo and using the toolbar at the top. With its help, you can easily crop, rotate, flip, and resize your image. As a result, all the objects that you want will be visible and will take the desired positions. By the way, it is an excellent idea to attach a photo of your sonogram or your belly showing.

Drag & drop your photos into the photo frames and adjust them if needed

Step 3. Decorate Your Pregnancy Card with Adorable Cliparts

Once on the Frames and Effects tab, you can change the mood of your announcement. Make your card truly unique by decorating it with flower or baby cliparts, stylish or cute frames, funny or geometrical masks. Filters will fix minor lighting flaws and add the final touch to your collage. If you decide to change the whole vibe of your card or achieve a specific effect, replace its background. To do that, move to the Background tab on the left. There you can select a solid color, a gradient, a texture from the software’s collection, or upload your own photo.

Add frames and cliparts, use effects and filters to decorate your card

Step 4. Add Touching Pregnancy Announcement Text

While on the Text and Cliparts tab, type in your caption, set its font and size, and play around with colors. Your text might look better if it’s filled with a gradient or texture. Guess what? You can do that in the settings menu as well. Alternatively, choose premade text styles to save yourself time. Have chosen a text style but have no clue what caption to use? Here are some fun ideas for you: "Welcoming our little one in (due date)" or "You + me = three." Having twin pregnancy? Use one of these: “One dream became two” or "Miracles come in pairs."

Decide on the caption, use premade text styles or play around with fonts and colors yourself

Step 5. Save or Print Your Pregnancy Collage

Is your homemade printable announcement ready to share? Click the Save icon at the top left and save your design in JPG or PNG. JPG is better in case you want to announce the baby’s birth on Facebook or send the baby card to your loved ones as a message. To print the card right away, click the Print icon. Then, choose the preset, adjust the resolution and orientation, and preview your announcement on the selected paper format. A red warning at the bottom means that your design doesn’t fit the chosen format - choose another preset. Finally, set the number of copies and hit the Print button.

Hit the Save or Print icon once your design is complete
