I don't know if you guys know this but I want to try and help you guys, so you might struggle to fit 3 rows of 3 cards onto the doc , or change the inches to centimeters so you can correctly size the cards. so to use cm go to "manage your account" and Serch language, then select English then scroll all the way down and select united kingdom. and to move the card anywhere if you do to file > page setup you can change top to 0 so you can place images closer to the top of the page, then click on the card and select move with text then you can position them anywhere.

Other things like the V symbol were PNGs, and so forth. Anything that needs to be transparent, was transparent, and that’s the great thing with PNGs!

After printing the cards out my wordings arent as clear as i hoped to be. How do i make they more focused? For the spray glue, we have to use clear spray glue right?

Simply did one card, did another, and then glued them together. You would then just have one thick, double sided card!

How can we make these part non-holo? -i dont have a lot of holographic cards, so do you think that there is something similar to this holigraphic pattern and the card paper?

Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!! As for your questions, I’m not sure about the texture! One person suggested taking a ballpoint pen, or something alike, and using it to create interactions on the transparent paper. That could work! Now, making some parts non-holo, honestly, I don’t think its worth the effort. It would be a lot of work, and it wouldn’t improve the card too much I don’t think. I didn’t even notice that about my card haha! It still looks great! If you really wanted to do it though, perhaps you can cut out some opaque paper, and place it behind the transparent paper exactly where you don’t want any holo. And for your last, yes! Holographic Pokémon cards are the best because they have the back, and they are already the exact size, so if you don’t have any, I would just recommend buying some. One comes in every pack guaranteed, but you can also buy cheap bulk on eBay. If you don’t want to do that, you could just buy holographic paper.

What do you mean by the design? If you are referring to the template for the entire card, then yes, size definitely does matter! You want to make it 6.3cm x 8.8cm so that when you print it it will fit perfectly onto a real pokemon card. If you mean the drawing, then no, size doesn't really matter. You can crop the drawing any way, so the size of the original drawing is not particularly important. Of course, you still want to plan it though so that it will actually look like what you want it when cropped

Thank you

Hey was wondering if this would work on a textured card just to add a little bit more spice to it, would like to know before I sac a full art lol

No, I wouldn't recommend doing that lol. I tried it actually, so I can tell you it wasn't a good idea before you destroy one of yours haha. First of all, if was INCREDIBLY hard to rub off the inc. Like, way too hard. I ended up damaging the card a lot doing that. Second, it doesn't even matter because when you put the transparent paper on top it covers the texture lol. So, yeah, wouldn't recommend! Doing a reverse holo is way way easier, and honestly it still loosing amazing!

Hello, may I ask what printer you recommend for this project? I just ordered an Epson XP 15000 but I am not sure if I made the right choice getting an inkjet vs laser printer. Also, I am not sure on what film to buy for it. Please help.

Honestly, I've only ever had mine printed at Staples, since its it's relatively cheap to do it there, and they have extremely high quality printers and ink. That said, I did print myself a couple times. As long as you have a descent quality inkjet or laser that should totally be okay. Yours looks good. The paper as well, doesn't matter THAT much. Just look for something cheap on Amazon, with good reviews. What matters most is your ink, so make sure not to cheap out on that!

Is there a way to not damage the condition of the card?

Two things. Gluing corners is a problem and doesn't stick well. Also, with the transparency paper I'm using, the ink is rubbing off easy with even a small amount of water Any tips>

Hmm, I'm not too sure about the corners, don't see why that wouldn't stick. Maybe it's your adhesive? I'd say, try to get as much as you can on the corners (without putting too much of course!). As for the ink, that's a problem I've had before actually. Make sure your printer is laser or inkjet, which is what you need to print on transparency. Then, make sure when you're printing, you set your printer to print on transparencies, it's a specific setting. If it's set to regular printer paper, the ink won't stick

Nice I made my own

Oh awesome! Which card did you make?

Hey great video! Very helpful. I'm in the process of making a couple custom cards of my own right now and had a thougt (forgive me if it's in another video). Do you ever have issues with the print scratching or wiping off? Wouldn't it be more protected to flip the image horizontally so you can flip the transparency paper and have the image printed on the back side of it? Kind of like a built-in lamination?

@Witkomon

Жыл бұрын

Hmm, can't say I've tried filliping them before, but I'd probably recommend just doing it normally. I've never had an issue with the print scratching, maybe some very minor scratches and blemishes here and there, but nothing serious enough. If you wanted to flip it, it would work though. I'm taking a look at some of my sheets right now, and you're right, it would offer a lot of extra protection. No need to use a sleeve. However, the card is then very glossy, takes away from the holo, and artwork a bit in my opinion. So it's up to you if the trade off is worth it!

@@Witkomon Ok great, thank! I appreciate the insight! Guess I’ll do a couple trials to see how it affects the art. Good to know about the glossy-ness change!

No problem! Let me know if you have any other questions, I’m happy to help :D

something that i've done while printing is flipping the card horizontally on the doc before printing, so you can flip and attach it to the hollow card and not smudge it by touching it by accident

Nice man! Have you figured out how to add texture?

Ah! Unfortunately not, I’m not sure if it’s really possible to do at home..

I know im late to the party! But ive been working on mine and im struggling to get the inc off the card without getting some fade or residue on the back edges. Any thoughts or how to fix this problem?

@Witkomon

Hey! Really sorry for the late reply! So, honestly, it’s never been perfect for me, I always damage the back at least _slightly_ , but you can minimize it as much as possible. You’ll want to try and use less acetone, and try to keep the card from moving on the table if you can. If you’re using too much acetone, it’ll get behind the card, and damage it with the movement.

Awesome the Groudon is absolutely amazing! Why not make a Kyogre or Rayquaza to go with it?

What type of transparency paper are you using? Because some how my printer cant print on the transparency paper I bought.

@Witkomon

4 ай бұрын

Hmm, that’s strange. I didn’t print it myself, I had it done at staples. But the type of transparency paper you are using should not matter. It’s the printer that matters. Are you using a laser or inkjet printer? Because only those are compatible with transparencies. If not, well, that’s your problem! If you are, then perhaps it’s something in your settings?

Do you think it would be possible to erase a real pokemon card like you did, and then print right on it? That would skip the need for the transparent foil thingy

I used Procreate for the drawing, GoDaddy Studio for the template, and Phonto for the fonts! (All on mobile by the way, and all free aside from Procreate!)

Aww, that’s so sweet of you! I’m really glad I could help out a little bit with the video. Making a custom card for him is such a nice idea, especially for a Pokémon fan, it’s so cool! I’m sure he will love it! A unique, and one of a kind card to add to his collection! Let me know if you have any questions, or need any help along the way! I’d be more than half to help! Cancer is tough. Its been in my family as well. I’ve been fortunate enough so far in my life, but it can happen to any one of us, at any time. I can’t imagine what your cousin must be going through, but, if he’s fighting right now, I can tell he’s strong! It takes a BIG person to stay strong in moments like this, so make sure he keeps it up! Make sure he keeps fighting so that he can beat it! But, I think you’re doing a really nice thing for him! I’d love to help out with your card if I can! If you’d like, I’d be more then happy to help out a little bit with the art! I’m not sure what you had in mind for it, but If you need any help, or maybe had a fun idea, let me know!

What art size should I do for making card
