Wow! How long did it take you to create 1,000 cards?

I started these projects in January when I was board at work. As far as making the cards it is really about how quickly I can come with an idea then how many cards I want to do. I had wanted to do the Doctor Who for awhile but never really had a plan. Once I got the basic card down it took me two days to make 150 cards and send them off to get printed.
However the Supernatural Season 4 set I made included a complete base set and auto cards and that took about a week to make the 72 card base set with backs.

So I had a request for some different SGU cards so here they are...

Then I made these up for a guy that loves NIMH...

So many wonderful cards ... wish I had the time {& the computer) to do this.

You have done some very nice cards there , ever thought of doing a set form the tv show Millennium ( Lance Henriksen ) ?

Anyone have advice on making puzzel cards/sets? I'm having difficulty trying to 'cut up' the photos right so it 'fits' together AND not losing photo/picture quality.

I'm hoping to use these are backs to some base cards instead of writing. Similar to Audrey Hepburn: The Early Years & Charmed: The Power of Three, no doubt many other sets too.

Loving the new cards uploaded. This has added a whole new dimension to the hobby for me.

No I had forgot about that show....

These are all masterpieces.... quick question do you send out a letter with these cards as in "really liked you on "fill in the blank"? I want to do some sets and just was curious about that part.... I would definitely invest in a paying site to get addresses to send them to.

Yes I always include a hand written letter to say how much I enjoy their work. With most of the people I send to they have been in enough stuff that I always find something they have done that I like. If I have met them in person in the past I will usually thank them for coming to what ever show it was and then go on to kiss up..lol

I never watched Millenium, but am surprised at all the people I recognize, so many of them have made names for themselves in other programmes.

Chris you out did yourself mate , love the Millennium cards .

very cool thanks

I know...who would have thought those KISS guys would have made something of themselves...lol

I love this movie and am hoping to get 10 or 12 autographs out of it. I will post the rest of the cards when I have them done.

I can't believe how fast you pump these cards out. Very impressive.



Check out Card Crazy!

I have been inspired by all of the wonderful custom cards that have been posted here, and I wanted to try my hand it. I started with an idea that I have had for some time—creating facsimile autograph cards for actors from the original Star Trek series that have passed on. All of the autographs are reproductions of the actual signatures of the actors. The only one that I really wanted but wasn’t able to make because I couldn’t find her autograph was Jeanne Bal as Nancy Crater from the episode The Man Trap.
