Disney 3x4 and 4X6 journaling cards *accepting requests*

Chasingmarcus, here's Goofy's Kitchen, enjoy :thumbsup2

These are PERFECT! I love them! They are so much better than I can do!

Would you still like me to work on the cars cards? Either way is fine. Just let me know! Thanks and keep designing!

If you have the time, or the interest, I would love it! I feel like it takes me forever, and that I have not yet gotten into a groove with things. I know that it will take some time, and hopefully not 3+ hours per card. Unfortunatly I did not have any time to work yesterday (my real work got in the way:)) Hopefully I will have some time tomorrow! I am doing a little bit better with the single characters, just things that have logos are hard for me :)
 
Great cards! I don't do Project Life but I do use journaling card in my traditional scrapbooks. You all are so talented!

What about cards for MNNSHP and Food & Wine Festival?

I have in the works a MVMCP and could work on a MNNSHP as well. I will have to see about Food & Wine (not sure how much time I will have in next few days)...unless one of the other girls want to take a stab at that one?

These cards are great by the way! I just decided to try a Project Life book for our last trip to Disney World and these are going to make it look amazing!! Thanks!!!

I'd like to give the Lego store card a go. Please give me a few days but it might be less.

Planning to work on these both but really wanted to take my time with them. Please let me know if there is any hurry. I wanted to make more than one MNSSHP card. I'm kind of slow and have a bunch of things I'm working on. If there is a hurry I'll get one of each done fast. If not I'd like to think about them and play around a bit. Just let me know.

I see Iloveeliot is doing Lego Store so I'll nab the World of Disney :)

Also... yay girls... delighted someone is doing Food & Wine & MNSSHP, I need cards for these for our trip so I'll be looking out for them eagerly!

Chasingmarcus, you'll soon find your groove, you get so used to doing them that the really simple cards take longer to upload to photobucket than to actually do :) The ones I uploaded today were very straightforward & took about 5 minutes each to do (including finding the images - I was lucky the perfect ones showed up right away!) :)

I have a basic template saved off and I just alter that for each card. Obviously depends on finding the right pics & logos first, I tend to hunt for them separately to actually sitting down to do the cards and just keep a big pile of "to-do" logos on my desktop. That way when I get a few minutes free to design everything is there for me. The logos that need extracting take a good bit longer but I'd estimate no more than an hour's work for even the most difficult cards - unless I'm going waaay off on a tangent like the Chefs de France type one, that took about 2 hours, I'd say, as there were a lot of tweaks to be done! Again, I'd do any extraction as a separate "job", so the final card work can be done in minutes. Keeps me sane that way :coffee:
 
Just a quick recap what I'm working on.

"Cars/Carsland card
"Lego store card
"MNSSHP cards. -(Other designers please feel free to work on this too. I'll be going to this and it is so nice to have cards from other designers! I'll definitely make some myself)
"Food and Wine Festival card
"Lotso card
"Tiggergalttfn: 2 personalized Jake cards - you have been very patient with me! This should take me very little time and they will be done today. Sorry for the delay!
Lego Store
Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Cards with quotes
"Still planning to do more drawing cards for kids but I will get to these when I get to them unless there is a specific request.
" I'd like to do another Monsters Inc card but it is on the back burner unless someone has something they need.
" still trying to create some 81/2x11 planning sheets and some 4x6 cards that coordinate. Planning to put the cards in a 4x6 photo album to use as a guide in the parks. Not taking requests for these yet as I'm making the ones I need first and then I'll share them.

If i am missing any requests please let me know. Please keep in mind that each card takes me a very long time since I'm new at this and a perfectionist! 3-4 hours a card is not unusual so please be patient with me as I get faster and I continue to learn my design program. I also like to try to come up with more than one option for certain cards which means double the time and work. I will work on each request as I can. If you have an immediate need please let me know and I will work on your request faster. I am having so much fun creating these and i cant wait to use them in my album myself! Thanks

Note-Red means the request has been completed.

I just have the World of Disney on my list, so while I'm in Downtown Disney I might do a few more of the shops there too, Rainforest, Trex etc :)

It is easily taking 3+ hours for me a card too! I need to get faster and not be such a perfectionist! I like Pixiesprite's idea of a template but I still end up playing around with things a lot. I will definitely work on your Cars card. Have you looked at the links in the sticky for logos? There are many on Wikipedia and you can find some doing a bing image search. You certainly can't find all of them easily. I haven't done any extractions but PixieSprite totally rocks those! Keep designing cards though yours are great! Hopefully we will both get faster-soon!
 
PixieSprite: I have been so bad about writing! I'll PM later but I didn't want to let any more time go by without thanking you for the Chefs dr France card. I absolutely LOVE it. It is so perfect for one of my favorite restaurants! I love so many of your new cards! I'm contemplating designing my trip around which cards I want to use rather than the other way around! Sure we'll do stuff we don't really want to do but at least I'll have reason to include your awesome cards!

I delighted you like it, it was a bit of a nutty idea but I was very happy with it! Especially when I added the guys you sent me, they make it!

Mwahhahahhaaa(evil laugh)... pixiesprite wanders off rubbing her hands & contemplates what cards to make next to shape Iloveeliot's holidays!
 
Speaking of extractions.... I don't think I do extractions the right way, I just use various iterations of the eraser tools. But one thing I do which tricks the eye, I crop off bits that are messy and add them back in later, and run filters over them to throw the eye off any imperfections. For instance, in Goofy's Kitchen... see the perfectly clean round logo at the top?

*********** please see my new thread for cards :upsidedow ***********

Here's what I did....

1. I found a photo online taken looking straight on - that ensures the circle shape is a real circle not skewed. it may have been this one... http://www.mouseplanet.info/gallery/d/136286-1/DLH-GoofysKitchen-112711-AVP.jpg, definitely similar to that one.

2. I just used the select ellipse tool (you can hold down shift while selecting to get a perfect circle) to select the logo and part of the surrounding blue-ish dishthing. I didn't bother about the dark blue edge because extracting circles neatly is hard :) All I wanted was the logo within a proper circle. I tidied up the overlapping foliage by using the clone tool - neater to do this while your elipse is selected.

3. Then, once I had that part nice and circle-y on a new layer I added a blue stroke to to it to make it look like the original pic again.

4. I then added a standard "bevel & emboss" to make it look shiny and 3-d. Then I added a shadow. Et voila... a very quick extraction without any of the pain or jaggedy edges!

Was that helpful? Possibly not :) But it can be a much easier way to extract things rather than actually extracting them.

Filters are your friend...

The texturizer filter, which adds a canvas/sandstone effect can be used very effectively to add character to an otherwise very poor quality image like in this lion king card... Picking up the colours from the logo and using them in the card makes it look like the faded quality of the colours from top to bottom on the logo was intentional rather than the best of a bad bunch!

*********** please see my new thread for cards :upsidedow ***********

'Ohana was a terrible logo to work with, very few distinct copies of it online, so I heavily filtered it to render it with an almost drawn or painted look. The easist way to do something like this is to create a duplicate layer, then filter->select edges, then change the blend mode on that layer to allow the original to shine through (playwith differnt blend modes here). Easy but effective! I then picked out the designs on it and followed them all around the card, overwhelming the eye to create an overall effect :)

*********** please see my new thread for cards :upsidedow ***********

Smoke and mirrors... our cards are made to be printed 3x4inches.... we can work with this to our advantage doing things that might look a bit silly or overdone at bigger sizes!

Again possibly not helpful... just thought I'd share the tricks I've learned along the way! Dinner boiling over... bye for now :yay:

Roni - when you get around to the pirates...not in a real hurry for them as haven't had time to work on my albums. I hear you on being a perfectionist :) I have a basic template but then I have folders for each card as well...gets a little crazy at times!

I really loved that shadow you did on the Monsters card...would you mind sometime sending me a quick tutorial on you steps?

Pixiesprite - you are too funny! You just keep making great cards and I will plan my trip around it as well ;)

So ladies I have been thinking about some question/quote cards for my kids to answer when we go on our trip...like the best ride...what are some other short questions like things can you by guys think of?

Tiggergalttfn: Here is the link to the tutorial I followed Not sure if you are using Elements or actual Photoshop. I can't remember. I believe this is easier done in Photoshop as it is easier to put a shadow on its own later. This way in Elements wasn't too hard. It was hard to figure out how to shape the shadow and I'm still not totally happy but I'm chalking it up to the learning process. I keep thinking there was something else I had to tell you but I'm drawing a blank. Well, have a great day!

Here are the Jake cards. The personalizing is super fast!



Please double check that I got their names right. I made them to be printed at 3x4 but have been told they print pretty well larger. I can't make any gaurantees about the larger size though. Hope the kids like them! Let me know if you have any other requests and as always feel free to PM about anything :)

dtsz, here are your World of Disney cards, Stitch invaded them 2 of them :) Iloveeliot is doing your Lego store one & I'm going to work my way around Downtown Disney (Does anyone else keep writing Downton Disney, as in Abbey, or is it just me??). So if anyone has any particular requests shout out!

*********** please see my new thread for cards :upsidedow ***********

Oh look.... it's not just me.... http://www.babble.com/mom/downton-d...abbey/#upstairs-mickey-mouse-as-lord-grantham Splendid! I'm not mad!! I'm going to refer to it as Downton Disney from now on :cool1:

Here you go. I hope you like them. I don't like the lined ones but wanted you to have an option. Let me know if this isn't what you had in mind or if you need changes made. The background is the ride at Disneyland...well, I think! lol

 
New Toy Story ones. Well, really Lotso. He is DH's favorite so yep, had to include evil baby. Not sure anyone else will like that one but I had to do it so why not share.

Love the new Cars cards! :thumbsup2 I have a great pic that I am going to love to place by this journal card.

Thanks for the Neverland pirate cards - kiddos are going to love them! Also thanks for the tutorial I will have to check it out. I use Elements on a Mac... how about you?

Excellent! I like the idea of some of the "evil" side of Disney ;)

I like that idea! I'll attempt to save a copy of the line-less ones with transparent centre area to make it easier to use as a frame. Stay tuned later today!
