Thanks for all the support on this video! We made it to 100 subscribers!! I'll get another video up for the giveaway asap, but in the meantime let me know if you want to see any more videos like this...more alter-related content or anything else. Would love to hear what people want to see on the channel. Thanks!
Ooh thank you so much for featuring my alters! I love seeing how other artists make their card alters, and your videos are such high quality! Looking forward to seeing more of your work 😊
Of course! I’m glad I came across your account. Same to you-I really like the variety of camera angles, and I love how you talk through and explain things in your videos!
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! Honestly it was more effort than I thought, especially the design work...and hunting down a cutting machine to borrow wasn't easy either haha. Thanks for watching!
By the way, I usually throw in some other tokens/proxies with Etsy purchases. Any particular commander you'd want a proxy of (Ur-dragon, Lathril, Kaalia, Atraxa) or show/movies that you're into (Stranger Things, LotR, Star Wars)? Figured I'd ask so that you actually get something you want or could use. Let me know!
Of course! I love learning and sharing. I'm sure other people more experienced than me have better methods, but this is my process so far. Thanks for watching!
I always wanted to know the process of how to apply these vinyls to a card. One of the artist that’s done it was Legacy Alters for quite sometime which I’ve followed on Instagram. Glad to know that someone else was also interested in the process of how it’s done. I really I want to try and do this but I think as far as editing the designs is beyond me, I’m not that really well versed in photoshop or any other software. Anyways great stuff and can’t wait to see the next projects!
Legacy Alters is the best at this. And totally, the design part is really daunting. I’m not the best in Illustrator, but I have enough experience to just make it past the frustration 😄
This is so sick! Every year my Magic friends and I do a "Green-White Elephant" gift exchange, where we all bring alters and trade them around with the traditional white elephant rules. I always make an acrylic painting, but this is very interesting and produces such a unique effect that I hadn't seen before. I think my sister has a Cameo for scrapbooking so maybe if I plan ahead...
That gift exchange sounds so cool! I'm planning on doing some acrylic alters eventually, just gotta shake off the rust from not having painted in a while :)
Thank you!! Haha, I know what you mean...definitely had to make my self slow down since there was a lot of pressure not to mess up my lotus petal haha!
Hey!!! Well now, this is FANTASTIC!!! I’m fascinated by this process! Although it seems suuuuper scary, the reward is pretty incredible! I’m 100% subscribing in the hopes of more alter videos, processes, and even just MTG art stuff! I think I might be leaning towards altering perfect fits?! I’m just so scared to alter an actual card! Lol 😆 Great Video! Keep it up!
Nice to see your signed cards and art prints. Are the cards you foil just for showcase, do you play them? Back in the 90’s I remember going to a card shop, they were selling stacked 3D die cut X-Men cards.
I might play them once I get into Commander, but I don't have any decks running lotus petal or crop rotation right now. One of the lotus petals will probably go on my shelf along with my other display cards. That's cool, I actually found some X-men cards in my old magic box from the 90s (not cool 3D ones though!
Personally not the type of thing I'd do if I was looking to play in tournaments with those cards. But some people like to do it. They just check with the head judge beforehand and bring other non-altered copies to switch just in case.
hmm. Do you think this would work using a transparent printable sticker sheet? I've made proxies with those before (as in printing the desired card into a washed away blank foil) but never considered doing what you are doing here to my cards.
Yes! Me and my son made some old school foil cards doing that (we printed a black lotus and tundra and made them into foils). I think you definitely could, it just might not be as shiny/reflective as this method.
Do you have a template we can use so with the appropriate card size so we can resize images and draw our patterns on the correct scale? Thanks for the content, this was awesome!
Honestly I still haven't quite figured out the scale stuff myself. Online I saw it said that cards are 63 × 88 mm (2.49 × 3.48 in), but even though I tried to make my artboard that size in Illustrator it totally threw out my original size once I brought it into the Silhouette software. So I just cut a few different sizes...kind of guessing each time. Next time though I think I'll try and make a bounding box in the original Illustrator file so that I can keep it consistent once it goes to the Silhouette software.
Es hermoso, como transforma una carta en un cuadro de arte. hay forma de que me vendas piezas cortadas para que yo las pegue en mis cartas?, soy de México city.
Thank you again for sharing this method. For context I'm trying to gold foil lettering on my custom cards. I did slightly struggle a bit to get the lettering off the vinyl sheet to stick to the transfer tape. A few letters would transfer to the tape. Any advice or recommendations?
If the transfer tape is new the vinyl will stick to it easier. I find that after using it a few times it becomes harder to make it stick. In those cases I have a plastic scraper I use to press the vinyl to the transfer tape to make it stick better. That usually works for me before peeling it off with the transfer tape.
Personally I'm not doing this to any cards that I plan on playing with in a tournament. I think it's better for cards that are for casual play or commander. But I know other people that like taking these cards to tournaments, you just have to check with the head judge beforehand. In my opinion you can't really feel a difference in thickness once it's double sleeved, but again it's up to the discretion of the head judge.
Thanks ! Actually, I juste discover those "cut printers" in a shop (selling small "Cricut") and I hesitate to buy one to foil my cards, starting by lands for training. But I was not sure that's work on cards. Now I know it's possible, maybe I will do that.
I mention it really briefly in my follow-up video (th-cam.com/video/F4BCWF6-7y8/w-d-xo.html), but the image I get is from Scryfall. I just did a quick search for the size, and a site said cards are “63 × 88 mm (2.49 × 3.48 in).”
Check out the more recent video on my channel, I show some designs I got from Getty Images. I've also seen some people selling the actual svg cutting files on Etsy.
You can check my other comments about this, but here's one that I pulled for you: "Personally I'm not doing this to any cards that I plan on playing with in a tournament.

@@ruthlesscorndog6110 for sure, you can use the silhouette studio software for free and do all your designing in there. It's just easier for me to use Illustrator because that's a design program I know already. But you can definitely use the Silhouette Studio software to design as well (and not have to pay anything if you don't want to).

I would love to see more of the cards you collected for the art, and your alters of course!
@@pokefairyrose thanks so much for the suggestions! I’ll try and plan some more art related videos. 🙏

They look amazing
I've spent months trying to find videos on how to foil my custom cards and finally came across this. Thank you for sharing! Wish you all the best!
Your advice is "get good cuts"?! Okay, but how? 😅 the results are gorgeous, I really want to give this a try.
Nifty! I like the effort man, nice stuff.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! Honestly it was more effort than I thought, especially the design work...and hunting down a cutting machine to borrow wasn't easy either haha. Thanks for watching!
I just bought a Kenrith from you, can't wait to see it!
That’s awesome, thanks for the purchase! I’ll get it sent out for you right away!

Of course! I love learning and sharing. I'm sure other people more experienced than me have better methods, but this is my process so far. Thanks for watching!
YES! I've been trying to find out how to do this when I found out about these altars! Thank you for this amazing video!
You’re welcome, glad it’s helpful!
I'm officially inspired.
Haha, thanks! and great name btw...Jareds gotta stick together!
Ive had a circut this whole time and never thought about doing this, damn it lools good.
Haha, hopefully I don't have to give this one back any time soon. Are you gonna try it out?
@@TheNinjaTCG 100% going to try this
@@jeffreycollier30 Awesome, let me know how it turns out!

Thank you so much for showing us this process. I might have to try it on my FaB cards
Oh yeah, FaB cards would look great! We’re just starting to get into FaB over here. Do you like it better than Magic?
Great Alter, and a great intro into the how to process of altering.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for showing off my Unstable Island! Quality video bro, love the foilies 😁
Of course, love your work! And thank you. I'm glad there are other people out there that enjoy the art side of mtg like I do!
Awesome vid man. Fun and informative. Great job!
Thanks man!
That lotus looks amazing good sir
Thank you!!
SO beautiful! Thank you for showing the process! I get stressed just putting screen protectors on my phone, I could never do this!
Thank you!! Haha, I know what you mean...definitely had to make my self slow down since there was a lot of pressure not to mess up my lotus petal haha!
Awesome work!
Thanks a lot! Appreciate you checking it out!
Thanks for sharing. I really appreciated this video!
Thanks, appreciate you watching and commenting!!
I've got to start paying more attention to you. Lol
That lotus alter was filthy bro!

I think doing it on a perfect fit would be awesome, especially for more expensive cards. Thanks for the sub, we’ve got a lot planned coming up!
This is rad ! And I will be pulling out my cutter this weekend !
That's awesome. I wish I had some experience with a cutter when I started...but that's what TH-cam is for right? :)
Thanks so much for sharing this! I've been looking around for just this info!
Made me buy all the equipment :-) Truly beautiful!
Great video my friend
Thanks Pawz, appreciate it!
You bet bro glad I found your video's
That looks amazing!!!!

looks good my only issue is the thickness. I would want to still be tournament legal and to me it looks pretty marked at that noticeable thickness

This looks amazing. Where did you get the stock images you manipulated for the borders?
Check out the new video I posted this morning, it has a lot more details!

Will this make the card not tournament legal cause it makes it thicker?
If you wanted to remove the vinyl would the card be damaged? Is this a one way process?
Mostly one way. I’ve had success taking it off before, but it was difficult to do without scratching or denting the card.
The question is... is this legal to play with in tournament after that ?
Personally I'm not doing this to any cards that I plan on playing with in a tournament. I think it's better for cards that are for casual play or commander. But I know other people that like taking these cards to tournaments, you just have to check with the head judge beforehand.

where do you download the exact mtg card size at? so that you can then create a border around it
Standard Mtg Size is 2.5 inch by 3.5 inch (press Ctrl+Shift+I in photoshop to change image size)
I mention it really briefly in my follow-up video (th-cam.com/video/F4BCWF6-7y8/w-d-xo.html), but the image I get is from Scryfall. I just did a quick search for the size, and a site said cards are “63 × 88 mm (2.49 × 3.48 in).”
where can i get stock designs?
Check out the more recent video on my channel, I show some designs I got from Getty Images. I've also seen some people selling the actual svg cutting files on Etsy.
Are these tournament legal?
