I've always had fun making 3D cards, they're relatively easy to make and fairly cheap for a hobby/craft project. I made this guide for hearthstone cards because those are the cards I make most often and because people have asked how I make them! So without further ado, here's my basic guide to making 3D/Shadowbox Hearthstone cards!

Supplies:

Here's the list of equipment and materials you're going to need make your cards:

1. Craft board/cutting board

2. Scissors

3. Craft knife/exact-o knife

4. Glues of different types (I like to try different glues and adhesives to see if there are better types out there. But generally you will want a glue that dries quickly, because the last thing you will want is a floppy card..)

5. Glue spreader (the green thing, we used to have them in primary school art class)

6. Round presser (for shaping and curving)

7. Sponge

8. Black felt tip pen

9. Enamel varnish (I use a spray varnish, but there's brush on varnish out there if you'd prefer that)

If you're planning on printing the cards out yourself, you are going to need:

Glossy photo quality printing paper in A4

Black Card in A4 and between 160 - 200 gsm
