Create a custom softball card to celebrate your athlete’s achievements this season. With personalized softball trading cards, you can commemorate the special moments that were made on the field by creating a special keepsake. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the ways you can easily make your athlete’s custom softball cards using pre-designed Photoshop templates, Canva, and Nations Photo Lab’s Custom Trader Card options.
1. Finding a Softball Card Photoshop Template
If you’re not sure where to start, you can easily find pre-made custom softball card Photoshop templates online. Here are some great options from Etsy and Photodigistudio to consider:
|
Template from Voila Mine on Etsy |
|
Template from PhotoDigiStudio |
After your design is complete, save your image, and head to Nations Photo Lab to create your card using our Create Your Own Trader Card option.
Not a Photoshop expert quite yet? You can actually upload Photoshop files (.psd) directly into Canva to edit them. But keep in mind, you’ll need a Canva Pro account to do so.
2. Designing a Softball Card in Canva
If you aren’t proficient in Photoshop and you'd like to find a free softball card template, Canva offers lots of user-friendly alternatives. To make your own softball card in Canva follow these 5 easy steps:
- Create a design that's 2.5"x3.5": This is the size of our custom Trader Card.
- Find a pre-made softball card Canva template or make your own design: Remember, you can upload Photoshop files into Canva Pro, so if you found a template you really liked, but it was for Photoshop, you can still use for Canva. There are also dozens of Canva templates for softball cards ready to be purchased, as well. If you don't have Canva Pro, or just want to create your own designs, you can also make your very own card from scratch using Canva's free softball imagery.
- Upload your photos: Upload photos of your athlete and drag them into the template or your design. Canva’s intuitive interface makes it easy to crop and adjust images.
- Customize text and colors: Edit the text to include your athlete’s name, team, position, and stats. You can also change the colors to match your team’s palette.
- Download and order your cards: Once you’re satisfied with your design, download it in high resolution. Then you can upload your design to NPL and order your Custom Trader Card!
