Custom Playing Cards

Use your photos to make a great gift

I've always loved these photo playing cards on the Activity Center. You can add your own photos, text and special overlays and print them from home!

A few months ago I personalized a full set of cards and laminated them at my local copy shop so we can actually use them as playing cards.

I love the photos I used of my dog (Ms. Kitty) - so I actually printed a few more to frame and place in my office. This image shows the Queen & Joker versions. I love how she looks like she's lauging on the Joker card!

I decided that I'm going to make a deck for each of my sister's this year for Christmas and customize with photos of them and their families.

I think I might even embellish the wrapping paper by making a special "hand" to represent their family ... My little sister has a "full house" so I'll use a picture of her and her daughter as the Queen's and use pictures of her husband and two boys as the Kings. My older sister has a family of four and they are all major outdoor enthusiasts ... so of course, it'll be 4 of a kind!

I love the concept, but I'm having a hard time seeing how you could actually use these. OK, so you print and laminate them. Then you cut them out with scissors? Every card would be a different size. Shuffling would be a nightmare. Even with just standard lamination, I'd think the cards would be too fat and stiff to be playable. Great novelty item, but unless somebody has some great ideas, I can't see how you could actually make this into a functional deck of cards.
