So far, we have spent 0$ (but have spent some time downloading and learning how to use the software). Get good at using the image software, particularly understanding layers and work out how to run the same piece of card through your printer so you get fronts and backs to line up (I convert GIMP images to pngs and print from MSPaint, which is good for centering and lining up the images). A really good open source software tool is GIMP. Then the thing to do is to use a decent software imaging program to create your own cards and backs and fronts. The nice thing about this method is that it doesn't require any cutting, just sticking, and the cards are very durable and shuffleable, being based on CCG stock.Īssuming that you already have the following resources: In searching a bit, these look to be the same size as those old labels, so that might work.
I still have a stockpile, but that doesn't help you. I used to use the 3 1/2" floppy labels for most of my cards, as they had enough room to fit a fair bit of info while being still fairly cheap on a per-label basis, but Avery appears to have discontinued those. Those are great if you have a lot of information. They're 2-1/3" by 3-3/8", which is just a bit smaller than a standard poker card (2.5" x 3.5"). I've used the White Adhesive Name Badges in the past as the biggest sticker I can fit on a card. If you need a couple different backs, you can use different types of dead CCG commons.Īvery makes several different stickers, and there are clones of them that are even cheaper, along with pretty good templates. Piles of Magic cards are super cheap (commons are essentially free, just ask around gaming groups), and you can use several different labels to print out and stick to them. The first is just to use scraps of paper and sleeves, as outlined in the answer above (which I upvoted) - it's cheap, easy to swap in cards and stops you from over-investing time into half-baked ideas.Īfter I have confidence in a design enough to bring it to outside play groups, I usually use stickers on existing cards. I have two different things I do for prototype cards.
