I made my own Door Cards. Strip the vinyl and foam from the old ones and trace them out on some 1/4 inch hardboard (Masonite) then cut and drill to match. Use spay glue (3M high tack 77 works good) ad put a layer of foam on the hard board (I used 1/2 inch low density foam from a fabric store) then cover with the fabric you want to use. You can emboss designs into the foam by cutting and removing segments of foam and then use contact cement on both surfaces then work the fabric/vinyl/leather over the panel and press it down into the groves of the foam. leave about an inch around the outside edges and cut-outs so you can wrap it tight around the back of the card and secure with contact cement. Relief cuts will be needed around the corners/cut-outs on the back side of the card so the fabric doesn't bunch up.
