Ease of Operation

All these neat Pixifun digital creations kits provide an easy, affordable, and fun way to display and share your digital photos. All it takes is 3 easy steps.

Step 1 - Import your photos

Step 2 - Print your photos

Step 3 - Complete your project

To accomplish step 1, you can import your files from your digital camera, camera phone, picture CD, or scanner. These sources may use a USB connection, a media card and card reader, a web messaging service, or a file downloaded from the Internet. Any picture you can put on your computer will work with any of these Pixifun project kits.

Step 2 involves printing your photo on the special pre-cut, pre-sized paper that is included in your kit. Certain kits have sticker paper, while others have photo paper. The type of included paper depends on the type of project kit you want to use.

Step 3 is the completion of your photo project. To make a photo magnet, all you have to do is insert the photo inlay and snap in the cover. Your project is now ready for display or to give to family and friends.

Refill Supplies

All the Pixifun product kits have refill kits available for each product, so your creativity never has to end. Each refill kit is color coded to match their complimentary Pixifun kit. Wherever you can buy any Pixifun kit, you will likely also find readily available these refill kits.

Uses of the Kits

These neat Pixifun kits have many uses, including advertising a business, labeling picture CDs, creating unique party invitations, or to just show off vacation photos.

You can use the key ring kit for identifying different sets of keys, for party favors, or for "If Found" tags on backpacks.

The photo stickers kit can be used to create return address labels, ID tags on books, DVDs, or CDs, or to mark dates on calendars with personal photos.

The mini photo sticker album can be used as a mini-scrapbook, a brag book for photos of new babies, or to display your business services.

The photo magnets kit can be used to create mini birth announcements, family post-its for cell phone numbers, doctor's office numbers, babysitter numbers, or business advertising.

The ID badge kit can be used for family reunions, tradeshows, birthday parties, as well as the obvious creation of official personal ID badges for businesses.

The CD/DVD label kit can be used to label picture CDs, homemade movies, or homemade music Css.
