Description My first tutorial-walk-through-thingy
Sorry that it is so huge, but I wanted to show many details and I hope that it is helpful.

Photo Mount works best for me, of course you can use a glue stick as well. Liquid glue doesn`t work.

If you got any questions, feel free to ask.

Here is the ACEO-Template


This tutorial works for booksmarks, too.
Here are my bookmark templates.


If you find typos, keep them, I make a lot of them.
Funny phrases?
I`m no native speaker. Sorry.
Hope you still understand me.

Sweet! My friends and I are trying to make an original card game, and this might just be perfect!
.....if they're not too thick to shuffle Q(T_ T Q )
BUT, if it works out I'll post them so you can see

That sounds pretty cool and I`d love to see the result.
I guess for a card game you can use a little thinner paper, maybe you can laminate it or put the cards in sleeves.

That's great tutorial! Thanks for making it I never thought about leaving the sides around the borders(for watercolour or marker bleeding off), that might be very useful~! Instead of scissors, I'm using paper guillotine, it's much easier as it cuts A4 lenght at once. But I usuaally just cut aceo size without the bleed, I never thought of it/ And the templates are very useful too, I usually have to draw pencil markings and measure individual grid for a new page, never tought of printing out a template

My pleasure.
I`m happy that it might be helpful and inspireing.

I don`t habe a paper guillotine, most of the time I work with cutter knives.

Templates are awesome and for the "lazy" people(= me).

Madness indeed.

I made a pack of cards for someone years ago.
Ever since, I wished I'd photographed them

Awesome, that you did a tutorial. It's very helpful. Maybe I will try to do ACEO cards. But in my way... i don't have those special materials and... I think, I am bad in traditional style But ACEO-template is very nice!~

owo awesome, I didnt know you have to paste color paper behind, ofc it makes them look better.
I dunno if i can find photomount here in Colombia but I'll try.
fantastic tutorial
thanks

pink-gizzy In reply to Hellatina [2012-07-05 13:00:19 +0000 UTC]

Just the size is mandatory, the colored paper is just for making them thicker and more stable.
Moreover it`s a nice touch to use a card, with the same color as the main color of the picture.
For example, the cards for Foru I always used violett/purple cards.

There are some sheets already in your prize package, so don`t stress yourself to find photomount, I guess about 45 ACEO blanks are enough for a few days.
