The Minimalist Flat Lay Collection

This minimalist flat lay collection features paper card mockups that put all the focus on the design and allow you to create photorealistic stationery mockup scenes with a selection of beautiful, high-resolution paper textures and shadow overlays made from real photos.

PSD templates. You will need Adobe Photoshop to edit the mockups. Alternatively, you can also use Photopea, a free online image editor that lets you load, edit, and save Adobe Photoshop PSD files. But note that Photopea, depending on your internet connection and especially with larger and more complex files, can be quite slow to work with.
Smart object layers. All paper cards are easily editable via smart object layers. You can move them or remove them. You can rotate the cards to change their orientation. And you can even add more cards by copying or duplicating the existing ones.
Customizable shadows. You can change, adjust, and customize the shadow effect of each of the cards to your own needs or liking.
3 paper textures. Each mockup offers 3 different, high-resolution paper textures placed both above and below the card layers, which allows you to use them applied to both the cards and the background, or only to the background. All paper textures are made from real photos of paper, and they're all provided as monochrome images so you can easily color them by combining them with background colors.
12 background colors. Background colors are provided as Color Fill layers in the PSD file. There are 12 predefined colors, but you can easily customize them or add your own.
9 shadow overlays. Each mockup offers 9 beautiful, high-resolution shadow overlays made from real photos of shadows, both geometric (windows, blinds, wall openings) and organic (botanical, plants, branches, leaves). When you choose a shadow overlay you want to use, you can further customize its look by increasing or decreasing the opacity value or even by changing the default blending mode.
The combinations are endless. With movable and removable paper cards, customizable shadows, 3 paper texture options, 12 predefined and customizable background colors, and 9 shadow overlays, the possibilities and combinations are truly endless.
User Manual PDF file. With each mockup, there is also a User Manual PDF file included with screenshots and very detailed, step-by-step instructions.
