getting a card gimmick made

Postby magicarp » May 10th, '12, 20:20



hellosies all,
a bit of advice needed if its not too much trouble:

ive designed a card gimmick and was wondering what the best way to go about getting it made is? obviously the easiest way would be for me to make it myself; well i tried making a prototype last night which resulted in glue everywhere and an unworking gimmick. any advice greatly appreciated thanks!

ooh thanks that look pretty interesting, I'll have a okay later today. Unfortunately its not quite as simple as specially printed cards, so im not sure if they will do it, but its a good start, cheers!

What glue are you using? If you can give any details without giving your idea away then I could maybe help

thanks for the advice/replies,
craigie, im just using some paper glue stuff, but the problem is with my crappeh crafts skills, not the glue.
cardmaker, lawrence from TM got hold of me first im afraid, so i'll see what he can do and go from there. if he doesnt think he can do it, your next in line.
ruben, also thanks, i'll check those guys out

cheers :)
