Cuts and multilayered Cards

[NitroNate]

Can someone give me a little tutorial on how you make your cut cards? I.e. What are you affixing the cut signature to? What are you using to glue it down with? I get cutting the hole with an x-acto but I'm just not sure how they're being assembled.

Here is a tutorial on how I make my cuts.

Items I use
1:the photo to cut the autograph from

2: clue stick

3: photo paper

4:printer (Lexmark X5470)

5: blank card from packs (A Decoy)

6: ruler

7:Paper trimmer


1st thing I do is I make the card in photoshop (3.5 X2.5 and 300 DPI)

Then I measure the autograph to find out what size I need to leave the space to be cut out on the card, I resize the space to leave enough room for the auto.

I print the card.

I cut out the card and the window with my paper trimmer (I would suggest making a couple of cards just to get used to cutting with the paper trimmer.)

I use the paper trimmer to cut out the autograph I cut the auto bigger than will show in the window.

I use the glue stick to glue the auto to the blank, I set it aside and let it dry for usually 30 minutes.

I apply glue to the card and stick it on top of the auto and blank and then let it dry.
