one of your finest pieces of work

Very, very nice. The blue accent in the background works perfectly.

What is your method for cutting out your card? It looks really nice.

Fantastic job!

[RockiesFan33]

After printing the card, I cut out a window for the patch with my slide trimmer.



Then I cut out a window in the watercolor paper backing that forms the middle layer.



Next step is to align the top and middle layers and glue them together.



After gluing the bottom layer on the card (a thick, glossy card stock), I cut the card out using first the trimmer and then the xacto blade to get the edges sharp.





Final step is to glue the logo in place. I then press the card with a heavy book to get it to dry flat and securely.

And these just came in the mail! Excited to start this set!

What area does the player sign on the card? Are you having them sign the patch or somewhere on the outside of the window?

[RockiesFan33]

I actually didn't make these with the intent to get them signed. The MLB cards I'll be doing next will incorporate an area for an autograph.

Where did you get the patches from? I have considered a design like this and have a basic concep in my head. They look amazing by the way!

Thanks very much for taking the time to do a show & tell. I really appreciate it.

Again.....great looking cards and a fantastic design. Looking forward to the next batch.
