Hacking CompC's amiibo Cards!

[Pecrow]

I was just thinking of doing what we did with gold and silver mario. Regular mario in front of gold and silver lettering.

yeah, I think that would be okay

NO read the signature. I used those cards and photo sticker paper.

The Inkjet cards were custom ordered from Brainstorm ID.

I have updated the drive to include a clearer readme and to include Zelda Twilight.

I also need a Gold background for Mega Man now, because the .bin became recently available.

So, which came out better? From the pictures, the inkjet printable PVC cards look like the winners.

Edit: but DANG I really like the style of the first one. Especially the Gold seal. Perhaps we can add the seal to the gold and silver mario to make them stand out more @TiMeBoMb4u2

Its been a long day for me, and tomorrow is pretty busy too. However, I might find some time to work on this.

Yeah no problem, take your time. I'm busy until Monday too

Thanks, again, for putting all this together! You've done a wonderful job.

I've been asked to remove the Zelda logo from the front of the card and move the Wolf Link name to the center, once again. Whenever I finish making that better, I'll post my full Front-Back Zelda template, so you can add it to the other templates you have. If I can find my updated SMB template, you can have it too.

I just finished a whole bunch of Amiibo cards, and want to let you guys know how and what I made. Perhaps other people can find it useful.

I like my Amiibo cards to look as much as the original boxes as possible. And the less text, the better So, I've taken images and cards from various sources, tweaked them, and even created some cards of my own, like the Animal Crossing series, Chibi Robo, Splatoon, Skylanders, etc. I have glossy laminating pouches that are creditcard sized (86x54mm):

I created my cards to have 80x48mm dimensions, so there's a 3mm border on all sides for the laminating pouch. The back of the cards are 82x50mm, which I'll explain later WIth these dimensions, I can print 12 cards on one sheet of A4 paper size. I've used 125g/m2 glossy photo paper:

As you can see, the fronts have a white border: exactly 1mm on each side. This also makes the front cards 82x50mm, just like the back sides. I then print the back sides on another sheet of A4 photo paper:

I then turn the page over, and apply the NFC stickers that everyone gets from Aliexpress. I've positioned them at the same place where the Amiibo logo is on the back:

I then use sprayglue and attach both pages together. I then flip the page (which is currently 250g/m2, so very firm), and simply use a ruler and cutting knife and cut along the white lines so I get a bunch of 80x48mm cards. Remember I made the back sides 1mm larger? This accounts for the fact that my printer might not print on exactly the same place as the front cards. This way, I have some 'bleed area' on the back side, and the cards look perfect front and back without white lines.

After using the laminating pouches, it looks like this!

Super Smash Bros. series:

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival series

Mario Party series:

Yoshi's Woolly World series:

Various other cards (Zelda, Chibi Robo, Splatoon, Shovel Knight, Skylanders, Pokken):

And this is how the back sides look:

All bundled together

Like I always say: Sharing is caring, so if you want to print the same cards I made, you can find all my cards in this Imgur album! Enjoy!

Nicely done! Would you please share your Luigi character source image, for the Super Mario Bros. Series? I'd like to recreate that card with my template, but I can't find a good quality image of him in this pose. Thanks!

EDIT: Would you mind sharing your PSD template(s) too? =P

Here is a modified version of Compc's Smash template. It is in proportion to the PVC cards. Anyone care to help me gather the high res characters in one place?

EDIT: Fixed the circle.

Some of the source images are quite easy to find. Some are much harder. This should get you started... https://www.mediafire.com/folder/6y9gss486ue46/Smash_Bros_Wii_U_3DS_Renders_[350ppi]

JACKPOT! I know what I'm doing the rest of the weekend. Downloading all of it and uploading to the drive!

Not all the images are there, but I still like your idea of unifying the source image location.

I've been playing a game of "guess the color of the card" with my daughter for the last hour and I came across some "issues"...

Donkey kong should have a brown or tan background

Duck hunt duo should have less of a brown background or blue and tan or tan and blue

R. O. B. Should have a maroon and Grey background

Pacman should be more yellow like Pikachu

Wario is... Odd

Meta Knight is mainly blue right?

Jigglypuff is lighter pink than peach and Kirby but has the darkest background..

Maybe greninja can stand out a bit better?

These are all just little things, let me know what you guys think

I can only really speak for the Duck Hunt Duo and R.O.Bs. The rest were made by other users.
When creating the Duck Hunt Duo and R.O.Bs, I sourced the original Amiibo box colors, from online images.

Unfortunately, the templates we've all been using and altering, are designed in RGB, and print is in CMYK. So, image colors will be different when printed (if that's how you're comparing them, IDK).

Here are the official boxes next to my creations...

I guess at some point Ninty got lazy with color matching.

Dang. These are all so impressive. I'm already planning on doing my own batch, but I'll need to borrow a friend's Android phone. (I just have an iPhone.) Of course, is anyone looking to trade or sell already (even any bad batches/prototypes)?

 

[TotalInsanity4]

Oh, hey, @KingOfTaurus, did you ever open up a pre-printed PVC card listing in the trading area?

Fixed the rob images, been meaning to fix them since i uploaded them. The right arm has a white triangle that is meant to be clear

 

[Simone]

Ok, here I am. I received the cards and are wonderful

I used printerstudio.com and the cards have pretty good quality

I will upload some photos and the zipped files with all the Smash Cards (for the moment) with the bleeding area that printerstudio asks.



Here the link for the Smash bros collection with the bleeding Area:

@Redah what progra did you use to print them off with?. I have a ridiculous amount of photo paper like 120 A4 Sheet time to use em lol

 

[KingOfTaurus]

Nope I forgot that I just got to 100. I'll do that when I get home

I'll be selling when I get home

Look at my Google Drive and you'll see a "tutorial" for printing.

Now we need to create the new Upcoming Kirby Amiibo template (for this new 4 cards)
Someone so brave and good with Photoshop able to create the box template?
