Keep important graphics and text within this margin to prevent anything to be close to the edge or trimmed off. TRIM AREA: Showing where the card is going to be cut.ĬRITICAL MARGIN” 1/8”from the trim line. Where all the background, images, color should extend out to. Next we need to add our guides that will show where the Bleed, Trim and the Critical Area are.īLEED AREA: 1/8” on each edge.

Gaussian Blur the layer with a value of about 3 and finally decrease the opacity of this layer to about 75%.įinally I have added some reflection to the layer by flipping the complete credit card horizontally, adding a layer mask and applying a linear black and white gradient on that mask.First thing we will need to do to set up print-ready business cards using Photoshop is to create a new artboard and set up the size. Next to get the shadow effect, just draw a thin ellipse, crate a new layer and fill it with black color. Next add a credit card holder name and apply the following blending options to it. Now add two dates to the credit card and apply the following blending options to it. Next write some credit card number with the text color set to #955b0f.

Place this text layer on top of all layers and apply the following blending options to this text layer. Next give some bank name to your credit card. Put some outer glow color- #eeffac on this globe image.Ĭreate two small circular layers of red and dark yellow color and place it as shown below. Next take another stock image for a globe and resize and place it above all the layers. Decrease the opacity of this layer also to 25%. Similarly draw another shape, but htis time of somewhat smaller size and on the diagonally opposite corner. Decrease the opacity of this layer to about 25%. Drag the ellipse shape tool, over the selected portion, so as to get a shape as shown below.Ĭreate a new layer with the above selection and fill it with white color. Check the Subtract from Selection option in the menu. With the rounded rectangular layer selected, grab the ellipse selection tool. Also decrease the opacity of this map layer to about 40%. Resize it to fit within the credit card’s rounded rectangular layer. Now play with some Hue & Saturation settings of this image to give it a tint of the credit card’s color.
Next take an image of a world map, I have taken one from here. For the gradient overlay use the following colors #ffdd40, #e6c345, #fbe54f, #f6e886. Now open the blending options for this shape and apply the following effects on the layer.
Set the radius of the edges to about 10px. Draw a rectangle using the rounded rectangle shape tool and fill it with white color. Here I have put some gradient effect.Ĭreate a new layer.
