Hi guys
I need a quick favour.
I got my new business card design in .PSD format, but the business card company says they need to receive the file as an illustrator file since it has hot foil stamping on both sides.
Is anyone with illustrator able to accept a PSD file from me, open it in Illustrator and save it as an illustrator file, keeping the layers intact?
There are no images on the design, it's just vectors.

eh - was a bit hesitant to post up my own design but I wanted to thank all of you. Especially Przemek Rafa for doing the Illustrator thing for me


Silver hot foil stamping on 350gsm linen stock. Both sides, the lines continue along over to the back where the rest of my contact details are.

Its a good metaphor of your photography skills; clean and professional. Quite often I feel silver foil stamping is used incorrectly and ends up with a gimmicky, "I added silver to my design because I could" feel... but this is a great example of how to use it correctly, very slick. Its a good looking card.
