Photo Cards tutorial
aka PA shots, pashacolle/pashacore/pashakore, bromides, etc. EnStars format, suggest other versions if you're interested!
TLDR: Create an image with as many frames as will fit using the measurements below. Add card images and either signature images (both on the wiki) or name text in Futura 10.5pt with text spacing upped to 1. Get it printed on photo paper (at your local print shop, or buy photo paper for your printer) -
At CVS, the most cost-effective size was 12in x 8in, 9 cards for $5 ($0.55 per card) and that's what I used here
UPDATE: If you have your own printer and can use photo paper, that'll be cheaper per unit (try partially used packs on ebay too if you won't use the whole pack), more like $0.10 per card. 4x6 template coming soon since that's the cheapest kind
Long version:
Collect your resources. My .mdp template for 12in x 8in is here, I used FireAlpaca but other apps work. Go to the character's page on the wiki, download their signature from the summary sidebar, and get any card images from Gallery (submenu In-Game has bigger images, you could get transparents from Renders and edit them onto other backgrounds/cards). Make sure you click "See full image" when you're in the image preview so you get the highest quality image. You can search "webp to png converter" if you need one.
Put it all together. Collect pictures up in the "images" folder, and make sure to delete extra that's outside of the frame so you don't have lines of color in between your cards (or overlap with other cards). Duplicate the example in the "names" folder to type names, or insert the signatures depending on the style you want. Put some signatures in the bottom section under the frames to test on later, if you like.
Center text. On the "name boxes" layer in "tools", make a grey rectangle snugly covering the name text. Make the text itself invisible, and align the rectangle with the red lines, then move the text back under the rectangle.
Print & cut. When you're ready, make the "tools" folder invisible but make sure the alignment arrows are still visible. Once you get your print, score the center of each arrow by either cutting it or tracing it in pencil on the back of the print using a lightboard or window. Use a ruler to connect these scores to replicate the "picture alignment" lines on the back of your print, then cut them - I used a rotary cutter and a (metal-edged, plastic wasn't straight) ruler for precision but any variety of tools work.
Accessorize! This is the most fun part. Use the signatures you printed on that test strip and try paints, glitter and glue, embossing, any other color/texture work you can think of before applying it to your actual cards. I liked the look of embossing signatures (trace signature onto the back, lay it facedown on felt and "write" the backwards signature with any small-tipped hard thing - embossing tool, crochet needle, dead ballpoint, etc) and it looked best on thicker handwriting like Niki's or Kanata's. You can also try making paper frames, getting toploaders/cardsavers/penny sleeves (65mm x 90mm) and decorating those with paint, stickers, etc. If you want holos, get some self-adhesive holographic overlay (vynil should be the clear kind).

I got a package in the mail today! I wonder what it could be?
Oh! I remember now! There was a Black Friday sale with free shipping at LightUpK last week, so I decided to show some love for my fave k-band Xdinary Heroes and bought both their mini-albums. Here they are:
Seriously they should call the new album OverSIZE if you ask me, that thing is enormous. But let’s take a look at Hello, World first…
JYP really committed to the No Plastic Case agenda this year. The HW booklet slides out of a mock iPad case made of cardboard, very clever.
Opening it up, the inclusions are cool too — love the pop-up card with all the band members, and the stickers are very shiny. I pulled Jungsu for the photocard, which I’m not complaining about, and O.de for the foldout (if any O.de biased Villains want a trade, let’s talk). Now let’s see what came inside Overload…
Now we’re talking. Both members in my bias line (Gun-il and Jooyeon) and my bias wrecker (Jun Han). I don’t collect or display photo cards, but I still feel pleased when I pull my biases. And the stickers and translucent standee that came with this album are so cool! I almost feel bad not to display them.
Thank you for attending my completely unsolicited album unboxing, have a good evening!
