literally so smart. I don't collect kpop cards anymore, but I love this idea to have fan art cards in my purse to handout as business cards LMAO

[@hararingloss3304]

Hi! Since you were so nice and didn't gatekeep secrets I'm going to tell you mine: Use bopp laminate rolls. They are way, way cheaper, you can use a cheap laminator (mine costs like 40 usd, and the laminate roll has 30 meters and costs like 30 usd) Normally I cut the laminate a little bit wider than the pc for both sides (one side holo, one side matte looks cute to me) you have to do both sides at the same time, pc by pc. Cut a sheet of normal copy paper (I use old papers from my work office) in half and fold it so it's a quarter of letter size paper and put the pc sandwiched between the laminate inside the pocket. After that put it through the laminator when it's hot (wait a little bit longer after it says it's ready) and just like that they are ready. I found really useful your tips for printing

[@gyuppiifish]

Thank you for sharing! I definitely gotta try this 🫶

[@VictorlHotz]

Ok but the real question is how did you make that dispenser 🤨

[@gyuppiifish]

It's a Japanese trading card dispenser called "HACOMO" ☺️ they specialize in cardboard diy crafts and I got mine on Amazon JP 💗 EDIT: It's now available on Amazon US (depends when in stock) I have it on my Amazon store front where you can purchase the same dispenser! amzn.to/4bhqiX1

FIRST THING I NOTICED LOLL

[@diediedice]

These remind me so much of ACEO-cards from way back haha. It's so cool to see the change in workflow that newer technology brought with it. We used to draw them by hand, glue them together or on a sheet of thicker paper and then either laminate them or put regular adhesive tape on xD. Yours ended up looking so nice! I especially love how colorful your art is, it's really pleasing to look at. I sadly only have an old printer which prints extremely pixalized, so I won't be able to try this myself. Well, maybe someday :)

[@survivethenightstnyoutube]

Your guide is so detailed and helpful Now I can print out other artists art on my own and put it in my virginity corner.

[@monetkyun]

This is my experiences ! I did deck cards for my math proj. at school. I DO EXACTLY THE SAME but with 200 gsm. watercolor paper. (I use renaissance (I know)(expensive) but others should work fine!) it's thick like normal cards and people even ask where I orderd it from ! It deosnt reall bend and i like it very muchh. using photo paper is really interesting too tho. imma try that

[@gyuppiifish]

Yes that would be perfect! Watercolor paper is really thick so it's definitely durable for cards. I'm curious how they print on a printer? I've never tried watercolor paper for printing before 😯

[@monetkyun]

I love this idea, including the photocard gacha! I would love to use that idea on my market stall, if you are okay with that? I also wanted to ask if you have a recommendation for canvas size for making the art? I'm still learning how digital art works and canvas size is the thing that confuses me the most 😅

[@gyuppiifish]

Yes haha, no worries I'm not the only artist doing the photo card gacha at their booth ☺️👍 this is just a tutorial on how to make your own cards hehe. And sure, photo cards are normally 2.5"x3.5" , I think if you go any bigger they might not fit into the cardboard machine. However you can make them any size if you're not using a card dispenser. The rule of thumb is to normally draw in 300dpi + so your artwork is clear and can be resized, printed. Hope that helps!

Thanks for sharing! but I'm also worry about the fact that I only have a cheap printer and scare that it doesn't have the quality that i want... or perhaps it can be done as long as i use greater paper quality regardless of what kind printer the printer is?

[@gyuppiifish]

I'm not sure what kind of printer you have but from my experience with older printers, as long as it's inkjet, adjusting the settings to "high quality" and making sure you're choosing "photo paper" can make a big difference 🥹💓, and make sure your artwork or image is clear and not pixelated or blurry! Hope that helps

[@NeonNuki]

i used to laminate a lot of stuff for work, i found that if i laminated them in the pouches then put something heavy on them right after they come out of the laminator they wouldnt warp. I also would only cut them after I had laminated!

[@NeonNuki]

o u already mentioned putting something heavy on HAHA

[@gyuppiifish]

Yes! It took a few tries but it did make sense to put something heavy since the plastic would be heated up so it would naturally curl 😂 glad I'm not the only one

Hi!! I was wondering if it is safe to run the Bleidruck holographic and Avery clear laminating sheets through a heat laminator? :o Have you ever had any issues doing this? Tbh I’m a bit scared to try because I know self-laminating sheets don’t need to be run through a heat laminator!

[@gyuppiifish]

Since the Avery and bleidruck are cold self adhesive sheets, a heat laminator is technically not required but I like to "melt" the plastic so that I don't have any bubbles. I would just check your heat settings on your laminator just in case and not have it on too high! Mine doesn't have a temperature setting so it normally melts plastic pockets 3-5mil but I haven't had any issues laminating my cards or any burning. 💞 I hope that helps! You can also just use the heat lamination pouches themselves and cut directly ☺️

HII!! i just wanted to ask how you resized your image (9:37) without the quality changing? :00

[@gyuppiifish]

Hii! So my artwork is usually drawn on 350-400dpi and I always export as PNGS so retain the high quality. The photo card template is also recommended to be in 350 dpi so when you import any work into it and resize, it should still remain clear when you print it 💖

[@gyuppiifish]

You can just use the lamination machine and skip doing 2 steps! I apply cold laminate manually because I don't have a machine to roll it on for me, but I'm not satisfied with manually applying it so I put it through a "hot laminator" to melt the plastic against the paper so it's super clear!
