June 2006
Start with the measurements of 1.75" by 3.5".
Start with one rectangle then duplicate it 4 times by Alt+drag the first one into place and the Control+D the subsequent ones, then change the colors using Pantone colors in CMYK.
Create a 40 point star.
Create a rectangle over the star.
Use Pathfinder - Subtract from Shape Area. Click on Expand.
Change the opacity to 33%.
I then added in the name of the company slightly off center to the mid point of the star.
Next I created a rectangle at the bottom of the card and changed it's opacity to Lighten to incorporate the star behind.
Finally, add your pertinent information at the bottom in white and it's ready for to be printed.
