I am trying to make a 5x7 anniversary card. I made the photo the size that it is required to be, and chose the size card I want. I went through and created 2 cards. One portrait, the other landscape. It was placed in My SmugMug Creations. When I go to purchase, it says the cards will be 4x6, and each card is in quarters, with the photo on one quarter, and the text on another quarter upside down from the photos. I am not sure if these cards are all folded in quarters by SmugMug, or if I have to do it when I get them. Also, how can I tell if the text will indeed be where it's supposed to be on the card? I don't know for sure just by looking at them in My SmugMug Creations. And will they be 5x7 or 4x6?
As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Shark,

    Sorry for the confusion! We make a single image for a 5x7 folded card, and when we send that image to the lab, they slice and dice properly so the end result is a regular greeting card like you'd buy at the store. A single piece of paper, printed on both sides and folded in half.

    So the image you see will look funny, with all four faces of the card on there at odd angles.

    Don't worry, it'll print just fine!

    You can just add it to your cart when you're logged in and choose 5x7 folded cards in the cart. We offer single cards or boxes of 10 or 25. You're seeing 4x6 just because that's the default product in the cart, but you should be able to select the 5x7 folded cards instead.

    Looking at your cards to make sure the text is ok...
