For the reason cards, download a life-size image of the front of a Magic card. I decided to make all of my cards red, since it’s a valentine.



Use the clone stamp tool to eliminate the text and symbols on the card and replace all of the text with placeholders. Times New Roman font works just fine. Other good fonts include Goudy Medieval, Matrix Bold, and MPlantin

Use a Photoshop heart brush or a text heart to replace the Mana cost in the top-right corner of the card. Remove the image using the magic wand and/or quick selection tools.



After you have created a template, duplicate it! I found that 9 cards fit tightly on one 8.5x11 sheet, so I made 7 sheets, for 60 cards.



Next, start filling in the text on each card. Give each card a clever title to reflect the statement being made, a card type (I used the standard Magic types), and write your reason in the main box. I also added inside jokes and additional things as flavor text on the bottoms of some cards. Lastly, add numbers to the power/toughness box. I just numbered mine x/60, in order.



Add your own photos to some of the cards, or all of them. I wanted to glue my cards to real cards for stability and also to eliminate having to print backs for every card, so I decided to add photos to some of them and leave some of them blank, so I could cut the space out for the image on the existing cards.
