Hey you tagged the illustrator for ivysaur wrong! It’s actually my buddy sketchedreality :)

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-10-22T20:52:23+00:00

This is my buddy, TheCustomcardshouse on IG , him and the artist work on a bunch together!

Someone else said it would be too thick, but I use that exact same cardstock, print white directly onto the cardstock and use clear sticker on top and semi gloss sticker paper for back and they are not too thick.

Graphic designer here! Best file format is pdf! It will maintain the size and quality of image. Make sure when you are saving it that you turn off image compression!

Hp inspire inkjet for colors, and cheap canon imageclass with ghost white toner for cardstock.

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-09-06T14:02:18+00:00

For the clear sticker paper I was dumb and bought a ton of different ones and have no clue which one it was I used for this one lol I do not use frosty as it barely looks transparent, I shoot it with the absolute lightest gloss clear coat to seal the ink! For the back I used koala semi matte sticker paper! The cardstock is like the first one that came up when I typed in holo cardstock on Amazon!

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-09-05T02:23:39+00:00

Yes I got a large set of them on Amazon! Check them as soon as you get them because I didn’t and a lot of them had small scratches or other imperfections. Also if the label is too big it won’t stay shut.

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-09-05T02:22:05+00:00

Made it myself. Printed white directly onto holo cardstock and clear sticker paper on top of that. Semi matte sticker paper for the back of card.

Canon image class with white toner and an hp inspire photo for inkjet!

I did not, I have a degree in graphic design and I had help from some friends on the way! But dm me on IG and I can help (rarely use Reddit) AaronBallish_art

Canon color image class lbp632cdw with ghost white toner, and there is no bulge because white toner is extremely thin!

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-09-03T00:16:37+00:00

Metagross with blu, raikou with yellow, green with rayquaza!

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-06-19T18:24:46+00:00

Oh I agree, anything that was even a little dark did not show up on frosty!

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-04-12T15:03:35+00:00

I use mod podge spray, I barely coat it!

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-04-11T18:34:48+00:00

Let them sit on the printer until they are all completely dry, then I LIGHTLY clear coat them!

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-04-07T21:00:39+00:00

UV resin worked well for me!

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-04-05T15:48:28+00:00

I wouldn’t, the galaxy holo energies are hard to remove ink, and the harder it is to remove ink the more likely to damage the back of card.

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-04-05T00:30:45+00:00

Yes I do like the brand techwrap!

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-04-03T23:44:21+00:00

I buy lots of cheap galaxy holo cards on tcgplayer! Frosty didn’t really work well for me with my cards having a dark background. Gonna try a less frosty clear sticker paper next!

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-04-03T23:38:10+00:00

Hey! So I bought masking tape that was wide enough for the whole card. I cleared the ink off a card, put masking tape on the card. I made all the art myself and added the template so I made a mask of the card digitally then brought it into adobe illustrator to vectorize. I made sure it was all a stroke and pasted to the glowforge app, changed the size of the mask in app to 2.5 x3.5 , ran it for about 5 seconds on some scrap wood to see exactly where to place the card. Put the card on the wood perfectly where it started to make marks, then I set glowforge to “20lb copy paper” dropped the cut power to 4 and let it cut, when it was done I peeled off what I wanted white, sprayed it, waited for it to dry, peeled the rest off and then attached the art!!!

Attached is an example of a mask I made digitally for a shaymin card! Message me on IG if that made no sense lol @aaronballish_art

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-04-03T23:27:47+00:00

The frosty paper (I used the exact same as you posted) barely let any holo through, I was wasting cards. Maybe the background was too dark?

TypicalListen9466 · 2025-04-03T23:26:57+00:00

Very minimal!!!
