For my upcoming Combat Patrol League,<\/a> I made\u00a0a little flyer to put in the store<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Sadly I did not draw the Firewarrior, he’s by Darcad<\/a>. But I did make sweet little stand-up cards to put on the gaming tables.<\/p>\n

Step 1: I spray glued each\u00a0print-out\u00a0to some 12pt card I have laying around. This is much heavier than cardstock, the same as a good quality postcard.<\/p>\n

Step 2:\u00a0Using a couple simple scores and a cut, I made a folding base:<\/p>\n

\"Three<\/a>

Three scores and a cut to the card.<\/p><\/div>\n

Step 3: The base curls up, to provide a bottom that sits on the table, a slightly angled back support to hold the card just enough to put the center of\u00a0gravity onto the bottom, and a tab for taping the support to the back of the card.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

Step 4: Deploy!<\/p>\n

The standing card.<\/p><\/div>\n

All in all these look pretty good, and were a\u00a0fun 5 minute project to do without any advance planning, templates, or anything—I didn’t even really measure anything, just used the guidelines on my cutting\u00a0mat. But I thought I’d post this up to archive it for the future because I liked the basic design. The scores are all on one side, which is important for doing fast and accurately, and the cards assemble easily and seem to stand well. Success!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
