DYD 2019 Holiday Bingo Cards

Oh jeez there goes me hitting my word count for the day ...

But hey, while I'm here, will there be an introductory post about DYD over in that forum? Cos I'm interested but have no real clue what it's all about?

 

Oh fun! I got so close last time in the Halloween version. I usually lag way behind.

 

Maybe I'll be able to play. I had fun making a card anyway.

 

I love the slow motion Bingo games!

so fun, here's my card

 

YEA! I think I will try DYD too- it will make MOC8 come faster!!!! Bwwwwahahaaahhhaaaa!

 

I was right, didn't make my word count or the day - but I did get a good idea how I'm going to decorate for Yule this year. Now if I can just figure out the cards. Shame they won't be as easy as this Bingo card was ...

 

I'm ready!

 

Not too fancy of a bingo card...

 

Here's mine! Can't wait!

 

I would like to play, but I can't figure out how to use this png grid in PSE 11. Can anyone please advise me?

 

So excited!

 

I use PS CS6 but I think it should be the same - right click & save the grid to your computer; find the folder you saved it to, open PSE & drag it into PSE. It should open as one flat layer of 5x5 squares (with transparent divisions & background - so you should see a checkerboard grey print in between the black squares) .

• If you want to just add your words like umyesh did above, just use the text tool & click on the document using the placement of the squares as your guide for where to type. Start a new text box over each squares & change fonts/colours as you feel - like umyesh did with the festive red & green!
• If you want to decorate it as some of the others have, you can use 1 paper behind all the boxes by dragging it in and then moving it down below the bingo squares layer in your Layers Palette (i use CS6 but i believe this is similar in both programs).
• If you want all the squares to look like they are cut from the same paper ( but different to the background obviously), there are a few ways you can do it.

• • With the Magic Wand - turn on the magic wand tool, make sure you are on the bingo squares layer and click on one of the black squares to select all the squares (if it only selects one square you may have to click or unclick some of the options like anti-aliased ). Then go to the paper layer above the bingo squares and 'cut' the paper - i found this page that may https://www.dummies.com/photography...-with-the-photoshop-elements-magic-wand-tool/ (please don't be offended by the Dummies guide name! So much not intended but i find these guides so helpful for everything!)
  • 
    
  • With Clipping Masks - drag another paper in and put it on the layer above your bingo squares, then 'clip' it to the lower bingo squares layer - i found this page that may help https://www.dummies.com/photography...eate-clipping-masks-in-photoshop-elements-11/ (please don't be offended by the Dummies guide name! So much not intended but i find these guides so helpful for everything!) (In this image, the bingo squares are shown as a clock shape and the actor photo would be your patterned paper)
• If you want to add extra elements or images to decorate the page further, drag them in over the top of the papers and bingo squares layers and keep them above those layers in the Layers palette but make sure you add your text layers because it's the words that are most important!

Hope that helps!

Here's mine. I didn't get to finish the Halloween Bash Bingo as we had a power outage for three days and then I had no internet for another week. I love these games and salute you both for all your hard work putting this together.
