Now how to post your cards:

That’s the link to photobuket.com. Accounts are FREE. Once you have an account, upload your cards on it. Then front click the IMG code just below the pic. And then paste it to your post and preview your post so it’s the right size.

Now make sure there is no white around the card cuz it will make the card small on the post.

WHITE BORDER

This is for Photoshop users only.

1) Select the layer you want to put the border on

2) Go to Layer up at the top of the screen

3) choose Layer Style > Outer Glow

Structure

4) Choose Blend Mode: Screen

5) Skip Noise, beneath that, select the bubble to the right

6) Click the box next to the bubble

7) choose the black to white preset selection

8) move the white marker under the shaded box it shows as far left as possible, so the whole thing is white. Click OK

Elements

9) Skip Technique for now

10) Spread should be 0%

11) Size can vary between 1 or 2, whichever looks better.

12) Go back and pick Precise or Soft for Technique, whichever looks better for the pic, as some will look better in different ways. Click OK.

You now have a clean white boarder around your card image.


If I forgot anything please feel free to share it.

If anyone wants the layered .PSD templates for Adobe Photoshop I still have those also - it makes your cards look a lot more realistic.

This intrigues me, as I have gone and done my own massive amounts of layering, and if there is a template already prelayered, that would shave off a significant amount of time for me.

Very awesome, now just to learn how to do the correct layering to make the card look nice and I'll be good to go.

Woops, the place I was hosting the .psd at is gone...

It's late, someone remind me to upload it tomorrow. <_<
