How To Make BINGO Cards With PicMonkey (she: Brooke) - Or so she says...
Hey, it’s Brooke from Blissful Roots . I’ve mentioned before that my twins and three-year-old have birthdays one day apart. And those two days are this week. I’ve been working on getting some things together for our family’s annual three-in-one birthday party. It’s really nice to get all three birthdays done at once, but a bit crazy.
I’ve hgtv been working on some games for our party. I love a good game of Bingo. Don’t you? And I love PicMonkey hgtv even more than Bingo. Let me tell you, these two were made for each other. PicMonkey has made it so, so easy to make your own Bingo cards. I had so much fun putting the cards together, and it couldn’t have been easier.
So, without further ado, here’s the world’s longest Bingo tutorial post. Long, not in a bad way, but long because I included screen shots of every step so you can do this on your own. Just look for the orange arrows. Not only will you be able to make a Halloween Bingo game, but PicMonkey has been coming out with brand new material for each season lately. You can make Bingo boards for every holiday and occasion possible!
Now we get to make the squares cute. Click on the ‘Swatches’ image and all the Halloween swatches will appear. You can use the drop down menu at the top to choose other swatches, but for this one we’re using the Halloween ones. I used the gray and white spider web swatch in the bottom right hand corner.
Simply click and drag the spider web swatch to each of the nine boxes. Your board should hgtv now look like this. Next, we’re going to add the images. The images aren’t found in the collage section, hgtv so we need to change over to the photo editing section. To get there, we just need to click on the ‘Edit’ button at the top of your screen.
Now we’re ready to go in Editor. Your screen should look like this. You’ll have your Bingo board on the right and the sidebar on the left. Click on the pumpkin at the bottom of the the images in your sidebar. This will bring up all the Themes.
When you click on ‘Trick or Treat’, you’ll see all these fun overlays appear. I could spend hours creating with all of these! Anway, I used the ‘Classic Creepies’ and the ‘Pumpkins’ for my Bingo card.
Now just click each image and drag it to the spot you’d like it to be. The images hgtv will be a bit small for the boxes, hgtv so you can adjust the size by clicking and dragging the circle that appears on the box around your image (sorry I didn’t get a screen shot of that, but you’ll see it). That’s it! You could be done here, but I wanted to add a cute title on mine, so we’ll keep going. You’ll want to save this Bingo board to your desktop or somewhere on your computer. If you don’t want the title, you could print it out now.
Also, hgtv because we don’t want to have all the Bingo cards the same, this is where you’d make multiple boards. Make one board, save it, then move the images around, hgtv save it, etc… until you’ve made as many different boards as you’d hgtv like. You can randomly move the images around, or simply move every image over one box for each new board and that would make them different. I’m making ten different boards for our party. We have lots of cousins coming!
If you want to add a title to your board you’ll need to go to PicMonkey again and click on ‘Create a Collage’ (just like we did on the first step above). This white collage will appear again. We want the white, but not the boxes, so click on the small ‘x’ in the corner of box to close them.
Your collage will no longer look like a collage, but it will be white. Then click on ‘Edit’ (sorry the orange arrow pointing to ‘Edit’ is in the picture above, but I’m sure you probably don’t even need the arrow) at the top of the page to open in editor.
Now that our white page is there and the right size, we can add our Bingo board. Go to the sidebar and click on ‘Overlays’ (the butterfly image). At the tops you’ll see a box that says ‘Add Your Own’. Click on that, and a box will appear with files saved on your computer. Choose your Bingo board, open it, and it will appear on your white background.
Once you have the size of your board adjusted, then you can choose your text for your title. Go to the sidebar and click on ‘Text’. Choose which text you’d like. I used Quentin Caps and Backspacer for mine.
When you choose your text, then click on the box that says ‘Add hgtv Text’ (on the sidebar). A text box will appear and you can type your words. I used a text box for Halloween, hgtv and another text box for Bingo. You can adjust the size and color with th
