Craft Ideas for Upcycled Playing Cards

Tell us what YOU use old playing cards for in the comments!

That's 5 DIFFERENT Poker-type playing cards (VINTAGE/Retro).
meaning 80's or earlier, that seems reasonable

They must have a picture of some sort on the back. They can be any suit. No plain cards, like Bicycle, unless they are super special, like a vintage Casino card.
Standard sized cards only, no huge or mini, please.

You know the drill.

While visiting my Dad for Father's Day, I raided my mom's hutch drawer where she keeps the playing cards and grabbed the 5 vintage decks I knew were hiding in there. I will be sure to keep a look out for more whenever I'm out junking. I haven't used old playing cards for crafting before but I look forward to using these for some gift tags and bookmarks.

Early on, I used a couple for ATC backings, but I decided that hiding them under art wasn't what I wanted. So most of mine end up on smash pages or art journal pages. I love vintage playing cards, and one of these days, I'd also like to make up an entire deck with vintage cards where no two are alike!

What a cool idea, BlueGinhm , to make a vintage deck of cards. I wonder how much size of decks varies though?
