I, like many others, fully appreciate this video very much. I understand you may not had wanted to leak out your methods of making the card, but this had just opened new doors for me to create custom cards for my nephew. Yesterday, he was talking about how he wanted an "Ash Greninja". I had to looked it up on google, then youtube, and found this video; didn't realize it was a custom at all. Being how the custom is made ontop of a real card, that just made this so much more 'authentic'. I thank you for sharing your method, I usually buy my nephew a booster box every now and then when I have the extra money on the Holidays. Now, I can work on creating some awesome customs for him instead of dropping $100's on packs of random cards (He usually searches for the rares, EX's, GX's to add to his folder collections, so the rest is usually just meaningless to him and that's wasted $$$) +1 thumbs up, fav'd and definitely subscribed. Cheers! And keep up what you are doing. Had to drop a comment because this video, is awesome.
+Kraft T. Absolutely love the comment and am glad I could help! :) I may actually give a detailed run on how to make a card in the future in Photoshop. I've got some 15 years experience in it and have picked up some good tricks lol but yeah that's the whole point- now people can make the cards they and their kids want! And you're modifying something real so its even cooler. Wanted to add here, for some reason the new reprints of ancient origins are shaving down to be solid white. Like somehow Pokemon co figured out how to print holographically. Just something to keep an eye on, but pretty cool if you don't want Holo
Something I've realized trying to print my own sheets for this. You can buy Transparent Printable sticker paper and I thought this would be a quick way of doing this, but you need that Frosted/milky transparent paper in order for it to look right. Otherwise the foil overpowers the artwork. And I can't seem to find any sticker paper of the frosted paper. So back to spray adhesive haha
First I gotta say, I LOVE your work. Also, it kills me to see you running evolution rev holo cards. I know back then they were super affordable as well as gave a good holo pattern but nowadays, many of them are a bit pricey (which I'm sure you're aware of). Anyways, I am just stumbling across your work and I gotta say, ur absolutely amazing!!
+[NYANAndrew]//Greninja Herrera I ship every week on Saturdays for sure and sometimes on Wednesdays too if I have cards prebuilt. Takes about 2-4 days to arrive and under that to make them for me since they're mostly made by order fresh. 😎
I have an hp color laserjet cp5225, but when printing them you can reverse the image so that you have to flip the card on the other side, once it is flipped on the other side it makes it look shiny because when ink dries it is matte, also it locks the ink inside.
I just bought both the 1st edition and 2 edition of the ash greninja card, I'm so excited to get them. you did an amazing job with them and I look forward to more custom cards if you ever do make more
+Meteor Muffin Studios Just saw your order come through! Yay! I'll get those whipped up straightaway. 😊 I'm actually planning a very big thing with the custom cards going forward. Keep an eye on my Patreon and UA-cam this next month. Planning on launching it in August. 👍👍
ZabaTV sweet! I'm so excited to get them. and I cannot to see what you have on store this month. lol forward to it. anyway take care and thanks for responding :D
Very common technique. Cool. Personally I like to paint the backgrounds of what I don't want foil. I do feel that you shouldn't have suggested going on deviant art to look for work. If someone decides to sell proxies like yourself they'd be stealing unless asking for permission to use the art.
youre a legend this was great thanks! do you have to use a specific colour profile in photoshop / illustrator? is there a strategy for best colours please?
Hey im planning on following your tutorial and I have some questions: Can u use a holo card as the base card? I dont have a printer that supports printing on transparent paper, you think it would still work out if I tape the transparent paper to normal paper and print the image?
I've heard of that method working. Just make sure your transparency paper matches the type of printer you have. Inkjet vs laser. And then yeah that'd work too for the holo
ZabaTV I tried it today and didnt really work that well but I probably had the wrong transparancy paper, ill try it again when I have new paper. Thx for answering btw ^_^
Thankyou for sharing. I'm trying to find the paper but when I click on ur list for Amazon the list is empty can you tell me what exact paper you use please and thanks
How da frick are u supposed to get a "Transparent Card" when you are 11 and have a printer that dosen't print in color? Is there an easier method.? Because I want to make a Solgaleo GX but I don't know how othere than going online.
But its still great1 Thank you dude fro making a tutorial bout this, the cards look so cool, even my friends are asking me if I could make a costume card for them. Thank U :D
How do you get around the air bubbles that form between the transparency film and the card backing? It happens to me nearly 100% of the time no matter what I try to avoid this
If you're not able to squeegee out the bubbles then your adhesive have may be a little too strong. You can add a little bit of a thinner to it in order to make it less strong so it'll take longer to dry but it'll be able to squeeze you the bubbles out. Double check what type of adhesive you have as your mixing chemicals so be extra safe!
Hey Zaba, can you make like an updated version? I see all your instagram posts and i really want to know how to get these holo effects. I hope you are doing well 😄
do you need a certain printer for transparency paper? I also might suggest sanding sides and corners as well instead of just cutting. and maybe print it in reverse and put the print side on adhesive side to prevent potential damage to the image. I'm just not sure how the adhesive might negatively effect the image.
Exactly what transparency paper is being used? It wasn't included in the video or description. I'm looking forward to making some custom cards as a Christmas gift.
@ZabaTV What kind of opacity do you use for these? I've finished the designs in Photoshop and I figure it must be something around 80%? Would be nice to hear from you!

do you have to use a specific colour profile in photoshop / illustrator?
is there a strategy for best colours please?
use CMYK when making products for print:)
YES! YES! I FINALLY FOUND ONE THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE PRINT THE CARD ON PAPER AND THEN GLUING IT!

How can I learn what a good trade is so I cam help my son. Seems like his friends are ripping him off.

I debating if I should to that to my holo foil raboot, what do you think?
I just ordered your tag trio grookey scorbunny and sobble card! Your customs are awesome
And to do basic non holographic cards, is the process still the same ? And for basic Holographic cards ?
Great video
Love your energy man, keep it up. Happy Holidays
here's another thing that you can use to make the card illustration go away nail polish remover and wet wipes I got fantastic results.
Great video mate 😀
What kind of transparent paper did you use? Does it matter? Thanks!
0:41 wht are the supplies needed? Not english speaker i dont understand what you say on your video. Thanks man!
If you don’t want to use glue just put it in a perfect fit sleeve and its basiclly the same thing
Hey Zaba, can you make like an updated version? I see all your instagram posts and i really want to know how to get these holo effects. I hope you are doing well 😄
have you found any solution to the acetone taking off the back of the card?
I keep having that issue
Did you print the ash greninja ex full art? And where do you get it?
do you need a certain printer for transparency paper? I also might suggest sanding sides and corners as well instead of just cutting. and maybe print it in reverse and put the print side on adhesive side to prevent potential damage to the image. I'm just not sure how the adhesive might negatively effect the image.
+THEtrueBLUEstarJ yeah you'd wanna print on the outside. A back loading laser printer would your friend if you do this on your own
Can you also do this with regular non-holographic cards? Or is the composition of the card going to be different and require different steps?
Exactly what transparency paper is being used? It wasn't included in the video or description. I'm looking forward to making some custom cards as a Christmas gift.
Depends on your printer but amazon has some for ink jet and laser printers
This will be very useful thank you for making this vid!
+Toy Bonnie1983 You're quite welcome!
Can you do a full art card with ash and pikachu together. That would be amazing
Wow thanks for making it I asked u about making it away ago if u remember me this is awesome thanks

Couple questions. Do you know what kind of transparency paper, or thickness it is? I'm trying it out and I can't get the color to pop at all.
Did you ever find out?
Can you make a video how to make custom cards and just the character and some elements to be holographic to get that 3d effect.
The Amazon shopping list is empty, could you please link what transparency paper you use? Is it plastic or what?
Jesse, its time to spray
I am a new watcher and I you are so cool
im gonna try this!

@ZabaTV What kind of opacity do you use for these? I've finished the designs in Photoshop and I figure it must be something around 80%? Would be nice to hear from you!
Is it possible to custom the back as well?
Yes. But not with this method.
