Pretty sure this question was already asked just a couple days ago bud. Search bar on the right does wonders :)

Your best purchasing a template. If you can't afford one then your trying to get into the wrong hobby.

Yes because I'm a noob and this technique did not work for me. I scanned an original and couldn't get the hologram layer off so I could see it in my scan. It sucked. So I just bought the damn template and edited it accordingly

It takes a lot of time. Many hours, sometimes hundreds, go into making the templates you see on cards sold by vendors. Hand-tracing using the pen tool in PS, pretty much. Purchasing a template is your best bet.

go to your local college and take a photoshop class. get a high resolution scan of the id you hope to make a template of. make this a layer in photoshop, now use your new found knowledge from the college class you went to and recreate the real card layer. sell that template and make back the money you spent going to college.
