how to make custom cards?

I really want to make a set of custom cards for my IP Twins autos. I really like this bloggers cards as an example (they can be seen in various pics throughout the blog):

I have GIMP photo manipulation software and know how to use it, but alot of design features people use seem really adavnced. Any advice?

Here is one I stumbled upon as well. I like the existing card designs over custom one's, although that is not to say someone couldn't wow me with a unique design either.

Wow, that Lincy is cool. It seems complicated to make such a thing, but I will see what I can do. Thanks for the posts everyone.

photoshop will do it. making a custom card should be pretty easy using basic functions (drop shadows,gradients, etc). You can find simple tutorials online, but the hard part is getting photoshop. You could get photoshop elements, which is a lot cheaper.

also, dafont.com is a great resource to find many different font styles to choose from.
