For this tutorial you will need:
Incredimail Letter Creator - available for purchase here
A stationery strip
Please do my previous tutorial to make a stationery with the graphic centered at the top first.
Click here to go to that tutorial. It contains all of the preliminary instruction.

This is what we will be making


 

1. Pick your stationery strip. You can make this in your graphic program such as PSP, PhotoImpact or Photoshop. I usually make mine 1280 pixels wide by about 300 pixels high, with the graphic about 200-300 pixels wide and of course the height of the stat strip. I make my stat strip so wide because if you don't, people with large monitors will see it retiling again to the right. Something very important to remember is to put all of the graphics you will be using into the same folder, and leave it where it is. If you want to readjust the letter later, and you have moved or renamed any of the graphics, when you reopen the stationery in Letter Creator, you will see red exes where your graphics should be. Letter Creator reads the graphic from the location. I have a folder on my hard drive called Letters Created and inside of that folder are subfolders with the stationery name on it, and inside each of these subfolders are the graphics for each letter, plus text notes on fonts and colors if I need them.
 

2. Open your Letter Creator program and click on the body tab. Click on the image button and browse to where you saved your strip and click open to insert it into the stationery.
3. Your text will be over top of your graphic and we don't want that. Change the margins to Top 20, Left so that it clears the graphic.
4. Click on the Tile button as shown, and the image will tile all the way down.
5. Finish your letter off as in the previous tutorial, first by going to the Footer tab and inserting the information, etc there, then to the 3D Effects tab to add the 3D Effects, then to the Finish tab to save your stationery and add it to Incredimail.

 
You are now done your stationery.
