Wow... this really is awesome. ^_^ I am so totally making myself a set of these cards for when I play! It makes keeping track of per encounter/per day abilities a breeze, plus gives you easy access to the full writeup for your abilities, to reduce the need for pulling out books.
After way too many years of cutting out way too many playtest cards for way too many games, I just wanted to share my discovery that you save a lot of time/money/energy if you don't bother gluing the cards to the card backing when you put them into the sleeves.
Also, if you're dropping them into clear sleeves and you want fancy back art:

I'm not a 4E guy, but I'm a big accessory guy and I just gotta say that you guys are sixteen shades of AWESOME.

I love these backs and will definitely use them once I am finished.
I still need to go back and redo the abilities for the updated wordings (I was using the first versions of the sheets) as well as finish the divine cards.
So, I downloaded the program and will play with it later but I have to ask: Is there a way to make a template (landscape, of course) that will mimic the Monster Statblock for 4E on the back of the 4E Miniature cards? Is that possible? With the little triangles for Saves, and the place for the little picture, and Power text and all?
How would I do something like that? I'm lost. The simple text ones are great, but if I could make my own monster stat cards and have them look the same as the others, my geekasm will be complete.
You mean those? As a matter of fact, those should be pretty easy to create. There may be some problems (I'm pretty sure the image can't work like on the samples). If you can read into the game and style files, it should be pretty easy for you to create appropriate files for the stat cards. Otherwise, someone else might be willing to create the template for you.
What is needed, though, is better pictures of stat cards. The ones I linked above (likely) won't cut it. Ideally, a card cleaned up of the variable text and the image (a separate image of the speed box that appears for additional speeds would be nice but can be a duplicate of the normal speed box).

I am not finding a way to make the cards into a landscape format, anyone having any luck?
Awesome card backs btw, I have a box of individual card sleeves that will work just fine for them. And the monster stat cards if I can get it to work.

You mean the Magic cards? There is no Magic landscape format, at least none that has been adapted for the program and made public.

For the back, I'd prefer them without the "D&D power cards" banner.
Maybe one with the parchment-like Eladrin mage for Arcane, one with a warrior for Martial and one with something clerical for Divine?
Here is the full deck for anyone who is interested. I changed to wording to make it as character neutral as possible. I intend to modify the cards again once I know 100% what the final wording will look like in the PHB.
In case anyone is interested in my template, I uploaded it here.
Thank you for the templates I got them, the only real trouble is do I want to retype all that stuff all over again.

Knight Otu: I took your template... and polished it a bit with a new background, and some auto-bolding.
I've attached an example - what do you guys think?
Also: A link to my take on your template, if anybody wants it... (also includes the version with place for a picture, though I like that one less - too cramped for the longer powers. Plus: You have different colours and a b/w version, if you're unwilling to use too much ink).
Wow, you guys are amazing. Really, great work. I've messed around with the program for a day now and just learned how to change a color, and only to one color. So, yeah. I'll go suck on a revolver now.
