Step 1: Find a Usable Screen Cap

O.K first things first you have to find a screen cap of the prop card (or any paper prop you want to make!). In this case I will be using a screen cap from the t.v. show "Angel" thats right folks you can now be apart of Angel Investigations and Help the Helpless!

Step 2: Find or Make Graphic

Next we need to make or find the right logo for our card in this case it was easy just did a search for "angel logo" and found a nice and clean graphic (which is essential for a top notch prop)!

Step 3: Open Sez Me Dude!
