I had printed all the images out USING THE contact feature. That makes the image small enough for the square. I colored all the images with copics. I made four of each card to place in the pocket. I also sponged around the corners of each image to make them stand out. The background paper is from my stach. I also had the buttons for the front of the card. I printed MIKI out four times. I use differnt pieces from each one in order to pop up differnt areas to differnt heights.
