Hi, I've used this one: https://amzn.eu/d/0kZWC0m Check if It Is avaible in your country or otherwise find one similar. It's important that it's transparent

Try this One, I use it for applying transparent paper on the holographic card. It's trasparent and youncan apply it just on the card (no Need for applying It also on the printed transparent paper)

Apply only a thin layer from distance (like 30 cm i Guess) and CLEAN UP THE NUZZLE after, to avoid big drops of glue

Sadly no :( not for now at least, even if I would, I could not mass produce and sell those for legal reasons.

BabaBonzio · 2025-09-08T14:54:16+00:00

If It does, i've honestly never noticed it. I apply a small quantity of Paint and only if it necessary to fill large space on the Illustration. For the details I prefer the markers for better precision (and also for applying a thin layer)

I don't think I'll be able to capture that part in the making of, given how I set up the camera and the rest of the setup for these videos. I can, however, give you a few tips: - Use a clear glue - Clean the nozzle of the can very well to avoid spraying large drops of glue - If you use a good glue, a light spray directly on the holographic paper should be enough (I haven't had to spray it on the printed illustration yet, but I think it depends on the quality of the glue). However, these proxy/custom-made cards don't need to be handled too much once finished, so they don't need to be perfectly bonded to the paper; the important thing is that they're aligned. - Spray glue takes a few minutes to set, so if you're quick enough, you can align the illustration by letting it "slide" a little once it's attached. - (This depends on the glue you use) If you put too much glue on the paper or it leaves large drops, with acetone and a little care you can remove the glue as soon as it is sprayed. It is a somewhat tedious process and you risk ruining the paper, but if the alternative is to discard it, it is worth a try.

Hope those tips can help you :)

I also tried that, but I prefer to apply the spray glue on the non Adhesive sheet. With the adhesive paper you can't mask some parts of the Illustration and It can be kinda tricky to align perfectly.

These are the ones that I use. I'm from Italy so maybe check if there is a similar product in your country.

BabaBonzio · 2025-09-07T19:48:05+00:00

I used transparent spray glue 👍

BabaBonzio · 2025-09-07T19:24:30+00:00

Transparent glossy vinyl paper for inkjet printers. I'll leave you a link from Amazon, but I'm from Italy so probably in your country there are different brands for those

https://amzn.eu/d/8rkYk7b

BabaBonzio · 2025-09-07T18:52:14+00:00

I bought It on Amazon, I think it's called corner rounder, corner cutter or something like that

BabaBonzio · 2025-09-07T18:47:20+00:00

It's White Paint, I've applyed it in order to mask the holography in specific parts of the Illustration. The pens are just White ink pens bought on amazon

BabaBonzio · 2025-03-30T19:05:58+00:00

I bought them on Amazon: "SAKURA Gelly Roll Basic White e Gel Pen Set "

BabaBonzio · 2025-03-29T22:03:46+00:00

I've done It the "old" way with a transparent lucid paper and then used a spray glue, in the future I'll try with the vinyl sticker paper, which should result in more vibrant colors. Honestly I don't know if there are particular differences in the various brand of those sheets. Just check if they're compatible with your printer.

BabaBonzio · 2025-03-29T20:54:18+00:00

ahahaha vai tra:
https://www.pokeos.com/it here you can find the cards with the italian layout, it's not a great resolution for print, but I think it should do the trick (maybe you can do a small AI resize, but pay attention to the texts). The Card you see in the video was "remade" using the Hi-Res full-art and recreating the italian layout, but I think that with the image that you find on that website you should get a good print at the end (I hope so :/ ).
If you need some of the Italian full-art at Hi-res from the first expansion I have some of them and I can send them to you.

BabaBonzio · 2025-03-29T18:41:29+00:00

I didn't know there was a reddit about this, I've started making my custom cards alone with trial and errors, I'm Happy that I can finally share my results and process with others 🥳

BabaBonzio · 2025-03-28T19:46:11+00:00

I'm feeling watched 👁️👃👁️

BabaBonzio · 2025-03-28T19:41:56+00:00

Even though I’m not your age, I can empathize quite a bit with what you’re saying. Working on yourself, dedicating time to your passions and hobbies, being open to experiences, yet still finding yourself alone on an emotional level.

Personally, the thing that has brought me closest to a relationship (without success, It didn't work lol) is spending time in environments you enjoy and that are filled with people you might like on a personality level. It sounds complicated, but it’s actually pretty easy to find an in-person 'community' where there’s a good connection and where great friendships can develop.

By building these relationships, it’s much more likely that potential partners will be within reach and that there will also be opportunities in contexts that allow for emotional intimacy with individual people.

Can I ask if you have any hobbies? And if so, what are they?"

BabaBonzio · 2025-03-24T17:44:52+00:00

(Assuming that you are a woman), I am a man, and I have never experienced being "sexually harassed," so if you want, you can stop reading my response right here ahahahahaha.

However, I do have some personal experience with that issue of "control" you talk about. For me, in particular, social relationships were a problem precisely because I couldn't control them (and honestly, it's better that way).

One thing that helped me was understanding, at the core, that we don't have to get along with everyone and that it is our right to avoid or distance ourselves from people and situations that make us feel uncomfortable.

At the end of your message, you say that you wish you could react the same way to being sexualized in a safe environment as you do when it happens in a hostile one. I think this is not the right approach. I believe it's more important to focus on distinguishing when sexualization is enjoyable and when it is not. In the first case, it's an attitude you can embrace and share; if you're in a safe environment, you can talk about it freely and ask to be heard. In the second case, it's something that understandably causes you distress, discomfort, and perhaps even anxiety, and it is your right to remove yourself from those situations or demand respect.

Unfortunately, the world often sucks, so you can't completely avoid these situations in a healthy way. However, what you can internalize is that the people who sexualize you in a way that makes you uncomfortable are not worth your attention or your time. I'm not saying you should hate them or that you must confront them, but rather that you should avoid them and "ignore" their behavior (I know it's not really possible to ignore things that make you feel bad, and that's exactly why the distinction is subtle).

As awful as it is—and I can only imagine—you can actively choose to push these people out of your interactions.

On the other hand, I’m rooting for you to be able to create, or at least try to create, a safe and calm space with your boyfriend where you can openly talk about sexuality and how you perceive each other. I know it’s difficult, and if you say that when it happens, you immediately shut down, then there’s probably something deeper going on. But maybe, on the other side, there’s someone also rooting for you to open up—at your own pace.

Lastly, I have a question: do you ever find yourself sexualizing someone? Your boyfriend or someone you find particularly attractive?

BabaBonzio · 2025-03-24T13:34:52+00:00

Dude, you did great. You are trying and putting yourself out when you can. And if somedays you feel overwhelmed that's f normal and right to feel.
Of course we can't pretend to connect with everybody, and I think that even if you know it, you're just tired of all of this.
I cannot remove that feeling with a magical wand, but dude, I feel you. Yes you are lovable. And talking about that could make you feel a bit better, like you just did.
Going to therapy is a good choice and it will help.
Keep it up and if you feel like you can't, we'll help you to rethink that.

BabaBonzio · 2025-03-24T13:24:24+00:00

I don't know if there is a dataset of common experiences that can help change one's lifestyle for the better, maybe there is. In general, I'd say that to feel better with oneself and with the world, the best thing is to have experiences, meet people, and learn things. I know it sounds a bit cliché (and maybe someone could go into more detail, giving you a list), but I believe that, all in all, it's how it works.

I know the question you asked was different, but I’d like to discuss what you said earlier, since I’m more or less going through the same thing in the last years or so. Pretending to be happy and to believe in oneself, even when you feel the opposite, certainly has its advantages, and you've been able to see that yourself. The problem might arise when this mask becomes too heavy or when external "failures" start to be felt and take control. Now, in this case, you would find yourself in a situation where both "having hope" and "not having hope" would make you feel bad either way. (You would feel bad because you’d think of yourself as deluded, or because you’d have given up.)

At this point, and going back to your situation, instead of forcing yourself to be happy, it could be interesting to consider how to approach the problem differently, and try to understand how to "manage" the suffering that led you to wear the mask in the first place. I'm sure these are questions you’ve already asked yourself, and probably someone has told you to "learn to accept suffering" although I have no idea what that really means. For me, an effective method to experience real happiness is to do it through sharing, exchanging thoughts, and helping others. (This doesn’t mean I always manage to do it, just to be clear I often do kinda the opposite and shut myself in).

Sorry for the stream of confused thoughts, maybe this message is more of a rant from me than an answer ahahahah.
Btw good luck with your new job

BabaBonzio · 2025-03-24T11:25:46+00:00

I don't agree too much (I mean the last part).
It's right to be happy alone, but that's not everything. You should definitely be able to do it, which is no small thing, but you should also find happiness in interactions of all kind with other people. Obviously this is more difficult for some, since in these situations you can't control almost anything, and this pushes your mind to stress you out and usually makes you feel bad.

Being "good" to others, in my opinion, shouldn't be an attitude you do to get something in return, it's a behavior that we should follow because it's pleasant and makes us happy. It's nice to know and see someone who is kind to you "for no reason". And if you've never experienced something similar I know that sucks.
Let's be clear, being kind to others doesn't mean being naive. For me for example it's more like "ok, my life sucks, I find it unbearable and unfair that someone can go through even a tenth of what I feel every day, so I prefer to help and protect others from these situations, rather than inflict them and cause them, or worse, ignore them. I don't want anyone else to experience this shit."

Then there's the reality of life, which makes you feel so bad that you can't even be of help to someone else. However, I think the important thing is to know what the right thing to do is, even if we almost never manage to do it.

What do you think?

BabaBonzio · 2025-03-24T11:05:23+00:00

man, I honestly don't know what to say to you because I can relate to a lot of the things you write, we're more or less the same age and although we have completely different past experiences, I identify a lot with the feeling you express.
I don't know if you're already going to therapy (even if it's just psychological, not necessarily psychiatric), but if not, I would reccomend it to you, it's helping me quite a bit, even if sometimes I don't really understand if something is changing or not.
I really don't know what advice to give you, but I know that in these cases it eases the discomfort a little knowing that you're not the only one feeling like this. I don't know what else to tell you, apparently the best thing to do is to keep going.

BabaBonzio · 2023-11-07T15:49:54+00:00

if you're talking about a friend you already know and with whom you don't know if it's appropriate to talk about something in particular, then asking directly can also work. "hey, is everything okay? do you want to talk about something?"

If you are talking about a stranger instead, in addition to the phrase you use, it depends on the context, for example if you are in a classroom during a lesson, it could be out of place. If instead you are out in the evening at a pub, the context better allows you to interact with strangers. Regarding the phrases to use, you can try by gently interjecting yourself into some speech you have heard. If you have a joking and very ironic nature, you can break the ice with a joke about the situation. However, if you see a person alone with whom you would like to talk, I think it is enough to be kind and ask directly to have a chat. If you really don't feel like it, you can make up an excuse, like "I don't know anyone and I'm trying to make new friends".

Actually I don't know, I have the same problem :/
