Have become quite addicted to creating these now! Dreamed of being able to create these cards when I was a kid. Thanks to Chris/Laura et al (and everyone) for sharing this awesome info.

Only learning how to make custom cards. This is one of my first efforts. I'd love if such a card could have ever existed. This message has been edited. Last edited by: TC00, June 03, 2012 11:37 AM
I'm currently creating real cards to send off in the hopes of getting them signed.
I'll post the designs when I've sent them and hopefully I'll post again if I get them back (with an autograph!)

I'm a big fan of German cinema and one of my favourite actresses is Johanna Wokalek.
The German writing was 'translated' using Google Translate so it may not be accurate (for those who can read/speak or are German).
Hoping to send it off soon.

Great card!!!
Google translations are always... weird...
I would write:
Johanna Wokalek (geb. 3. März 1975) gehört zu den beliebtesten Schauspielerinnen in Deutschland. Zu ihren bekanntesten Rollen gehören Ilse (Aimée & Jaguar), Gudrun Ensslin (Der Baader Meinhof Komplex) und Johanna von Ingelheim (Die Päpstin). Für Ihre Rolle als Gudrun Ensslin erhielt sie einen Bambi als beste Schauspielerin (2008). Wokalek lebt derzeit in Berlin.

I just came across these John Hughes-themed customs I did a couple of years ago mimicking 80s Topps Baseball designs:

I really want a "Haven" set. They've done Warehouse 13 and Eureka, why not Haven? So I decided to make my own
And the more of Emily Rose the better, I love her in the Uncharted Series, love that whole game to bits. It's like playing in your own action adventure movie This message has been edited. Last edited by: Juelle Lou, June 12, 2012 10:38 PM

That Haven set is sweet!
Has anyone tried creating promo cards?
I was thinking that Photocards (such as Buffy or N'Sync sets released) might be a cool idea to try too. Not sure how they would be stored though?
Widevision would be cool too except they dont make the pages/storage for them anymore. (Which is one of the reasons why I got rid of the ones of had).
I could go on forever Oh the hobby.

A tedious process of layers and masks, it's not hard once you get the hang of it.

Photoshop?
I'm using photoshop and seeing as I've never really used it before, it takes a bit of getting used to and it does take time

And now for another set I've been working on, and finished over the long weekend. Deadwood, I've been rewatching it again. That show would have made some fantastic costume cards...
