Questions on online tools for card designing

I hope this is the right forum to ask these questions. If not, my apologies.

1) I've seen a lot of memes in Homage to the best card thread (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=1204.0) which are basically Dominion cards with changed picture and/or text. The question is - how do you make these changes? By using Photoshop (which I'm total noob at) or is there any online tool which allows it?

2) Is there any online tool / plugin / website / whatever which allows for designing of custom cards for card games? I'm thinking along the line of http://www.mtgcardmaker.com/ , but hopefully with larger amount of options with regards to card layout - e.g. option to expand card image across the whole card, instead of limiting it to upper part of the card.

Any answers would be greatly appreciated :)

1) If you're just changing the picture, then using an image editor (even Paint should do, though it's not as convenient as others) is probably the easiest way. If you're changing the text, too, it might be easier to use a card creation tool to create the entire card.

2) I don't know of a site like that, but there's Magic Set Editor, which is a program you'll have to download. It comes with layouts for MtG, Yugioh and some other games, and you can create your own layouts if you want to (though it's a slow process) or try to look for more layouts on the Internet (there's one for Dominion, for example). And for Dominion, there's also the Photoshop template on these forums.

Dominion card templates: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=9491.0

I appreciate the link to my template, but that is a link to an old version and it's not there anymore. The latest version is in my sig, and it's through dropbox now. The files are just too big to host for free anymore. Make sure you check out the readme file if you need help with using it.
