In order to use this method, it is important that you save all the pictures you want to use in a specific deck of cards into one folder. That way, when you get ready to print them they will all be together in the same folder.

I use a PC, so I navigate to COMPUTER, then to PICTURES.

Once you do that, select the folder click once on the folder of the pics you want to print just to highlight the folder.

STEP ONE - Select all of the pictures in the folder that you want to print. You can hold down CTRL and then click on the ones you want or you can click SELECT ALL if you want to print them all.

STEP THREE – A new dialog window will appear asking you to select your printer, paper type, etc. The most important feature to select here is the size of the prints you want to be printed. To get a uniform set of images scroll down and select WALLET (9).

Some suggestions: Print one set, then copy them on to card stock.

For class sets, copy 15 sets, but put each set on a different color. This way, if one card gets away from the deck you know which deck to return the card to.

Laminate the copied cards before you cut them apart.

When making decks of cards, focus on words or phrases that are high frequency.
