@MysticMirei: y'know... i never considered the calming aspect of cuttin mah cards, but yes, i will have to say it is very calming. Especially when not working with a deadline. Now, as for your questions:
For filler I use other cards. When its a full card I use a full card with bits cut out. For small floating parts I use random scraps from old cut cards or filler bits. Since I have a bajillion lands and other jank cards, I tend to use those.
I color all edges. Inside, outside, and sometimes the "hidden" ones. The white of the card stock tends to really stand out and adding that bit of color helps hide your edges as well as giving the cut areas a cleaner look. I used to use only black on all my edges but after I got my hands on some colored markers to use, I have to say, it makes a big differance.
Hope this helps. Feel free to PM me, email me, whatever questions. I may not have all the answers (or the right answers), but I can definitely give some insight. ~29
Thanks for the advice! I only have black at the moment, so I'll probably stick to that for now. Save the buying of colors for when I actually start to master this stuff. And i'll definitely try the land cards as fillers for my 3D ones.
I've just started getting into 3D magic cards, it's a calming activity. I've worked on a couple lands so card just to get some beginner practice, will take some pictures soon to post.
I do have some beginner questions if anyone's willing to help out.
First of all, to give the cards more of a "pop", does anyone have a certain card stock or foam to place between the cards?
Secondly, I've seen mention of markers and pens for coloring in some of the posts in here. Aside from the outside edges, what exactly do you color? If it's the inside detail edges, is it better to simply color it black/gray or to try to get colors that match the image?
It's a pendant made with a Numot creature. I've started gluing tokens to dominos and using the dimensional mod podge to make some pretty cool tokens.
But I did make this from the remains of a filler card I used.
