If you're using playing cards, why not make them custom design playing cards? A part of human leisure time for over a millennium, cards have been used for everything from children's games to grown-up gambling. Talented magicians use them as a staple tool and they are unique promotional material for advertisers, too.

Whether decorating the face of the card with something a bit more special than the standard design, or using the blank canvas of the back, playing cards are ripe for designers to customise. We've found our favourite designs and listed them here for your enjoyment. For more unique design, see this breathtaking paper art roundup.
