$25.23 Purple Cow hot/cold laminator (I'd recommend splurging on this, I'd get another in hindsight, mainly because sometimes it takes a couple run throughs to completely laminate)

If you are going the easy way get sticker paper:
$19.99 100 pack of ld sticker paper(currently in stock)
Product/B000VKV2H4
(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/CTtamer/VALUEDCUSTOMER/51RanRDdG8L_zpse24bc81c.jpg) (http://"http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VKV2H4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000VKV2H4&linkCode=as2&tag=imperiashipya-20)
so I had to pick up these 19.99 for 50 pack, twice as much. Hopefully my usual paper comes back in stock, I contacted the company and they said a few weeks.

for this you'd need to get spray adhesive, any would work
like this for $9.20

if you are against lamination you can use this to coat your cards for glossy finish and protection

Here's some video tutorials I made awhile back showing how to make cards.
Photoshop part of cardmaking using the following psd:

Physical part of card making:
The video shows me using glue to attach the bubble, I now use the double sided tape. If you get sticker paper the spraying adhesive glue part is not needed.
If you have any questions pm me here or contact me on www.facebook.com/DarthStreams with any questions.

Hey thanks for doing this! I will get this linked and organized up and get the word out!
-
I finally had time to go through the great product list Darth Streams sent to get into making custom cardbacks. So cool. Thanks Bill!
-
We actually had a forum member asking about supplies for this and I was able to use this to help him. Time to go share this information on the world wide web.
Bill thanks again for going to the trouble to create this great product list. I think it is really going to be a great resource in the future.
