Custom cards! What to print with and how to make relics?!?!

cardsnyc · 12-02-2015, 06:42 PM

Hi, i'm really getting into custom cards, and i'm trying to make my own. Does anyone know what to print the cards with? I've already made a Photoshop Design and all I need to know is the paper to print with, and how to cut a relic square in the middle of the card. Thanks!

I would use an exactoknife to cut out the relic square.

I just use plain matte or glossy photo paper for regular cards. I also use a basic scapbooking punch for the square. That is the basic way. If you want to get fancy then get a cricut machine and it will cut whatever you program.

What you'll need to do is use a decoy or a thicker stock in between your front and back. Cut with an exacto knife
