How To Design Your Personal Playing Cards

By Daniel Peters


You can design your own playing cards who knew? As long as you have the basic ideas of what comprises a deck of cards, you can have new styles for these cards. There is no rule that says you should only make use of the usual hearts, spades, diamonds and cloves symbols. Be creative. This should not be too hard because there are a lot of sources or inspirations that you can choose from. Just because you have to stick to a certain set of guidelines or codes that apply to playing cards does not mean that your creativity will be curbed. This is to ensure that the deck of playing cards will be easy to use.

Normally, one deck of cards is comprised of fifty two cards. It is up to you if your deck of customized playing cards will also have fifty two cards, or you can have a deck of lesser cards. This option depends on the kind of game you wish to use the cards for. You can have extra pieces of cards added on your customized deck if you are going to use them on certain card games that would actually require more than 52 cards to be played. If you want, you could even assign new symbols on the additional cards that you will include in your deck and invent a new card game around those designs.

At times customization of cards can as simple as printing letters. Choose the symbols, prepare the unique design you'd want for your customized cards, and find the right print paper. You can make cards that have your pictures, those of nature, animals, people, cars, for your business, etc. these will go on the back of the cards. Of course, in order to come up with the designs, you'd require the use of a computer A good color printer will also have to be used. If your creativity fades you can take a peek through the internet to see what ideas it will help generate. You can even find a lot of ready made designs on the internet that you can readily use for your customized cards.

People who do not have the creativity to come up with their own designs are finding a lot of help from the internet. You will find a lot of websites that specialize in coming up with designs for playing cards. Some offer templates that you can use and will also give you several suggestions in terms of designs that you can add to your customized deck of cards. This is actually a fast means of having your own customized deck of playing cards. However, you may find that this is not a lot of fun, at least when compared to the other option, which is creating your own designs. Customizing, even when it is a deck of playing cards, is supposed to be a fun and creative experience. Thus, you should enjoy it.

Customizing our playing cards has become easier with the help of computers, printer, and technology as a whole. But handmade playing cards are actually even more fun and enjoyable to design. You would have to rely on your creativity and equip yourself with all the right tools and materials to design your own playing cards. A little help from your friends won't hurt too.
