Design & Development / Thank You For Your Help With PlayingColor!
« on: May 15, 2017, 02:06:24 PM »
Hey!

So I posted here a while back ago with my new coloring deck of cards I created and many of you interacted with me and provided with so much valuable advice. THANK YOU!!

Here are some amazing colorings that people have created!







Unfortunately, issues in my life has made it difficult to continue this business and I'm now down to my final 7 decks of cards, but I would like to thank you again on behalf of PlayingColor in helping me on this journey!!

Love, Claire

Hey all!

Sorry for the inactivity but I've been caught up a few issues at home but I'm back baby!  :D

After my somewhat successful kick starter for PlayingColor https://www.playingcolor.com/, I've been shipping them from Australia and even gave my friend a few decks to take with him to US so he can ship them out from there to lower costs for the customers!

However, I need a long term solution for fulfillment/distribution for playing cards and wondering who have you used and how much were their costs?

Claire

Thank You Fess! It was hard to get it lower due to the unique order and MOQ required, as well as the expensive shipping to US  :(

Oh wow I had no clue about MPC issues with their stock. Thank you for this knowledge! I'll definitely go check out the post 2009 cards.

Thank you!

Don, I tried printing standard playing card paper from MPC but the deck was a bit too difficult to colour well with Sharpies. The colours would mix, smudge and fade as it would dry. I am still trying to find a good version for the paper to match the various markers.

Oh, I've definitely been inspired by the "adult coloring books" trend but the fan base is mostly colouring pencils. Therefore standard playing card paper will be difficult to use for colouring with pencils. I'm aware that standard coated pasteboard stock with laminate coating will have issues with longevity but I'm still working on various versions trying to find the best middle ground I can for the paper! Get the best of both worlds.  :)

Oh wow these cards are absolutely lovely. Loving the colour scheme!

Thank you Fess. I was hoping in making them colourable so the card holder can personalise however they want. Let them have a bit of creative fun that they can then play with  :)

Hi Skinny,

I've actually found a good supplier who can offer uncoated stock for the cards. Unfortunately, they won't be perfectly playing card quality but I will try match it as best as I can. The cards I got from them handle crayons, colored pencils, or markers without soaking / ruining the back design. So pretty much you've got a colouring book but playing card sized and themed  :D

I am planning on designing a traditional court card deck but that will take a while, probably early next year. I want to make it perfect and more professional looking with enough details on their outfits.

I'm just curious about launching the "Mandala style" as above to see what people think and get my hands dirty with playing cards  :)

Also something to give the poor parents to keep their little ones busy over the holidays  ;D

I know! Shame I missed out on them when they came Down Under last year I think.

At least I got to see Fleetwood Mac to make up for it!

Thank You so much Don for this valuable feedback.

The paper, I’ll need to double check but if I recall correctly, it’s 300gsm 1 side coated and the other is standard uncoated stock to allow for any drawing/colouring on the cards. It’s thick enough to block out the light and also for the ink/pencil not to seep through to the other side. It’s not ideal per se to the absolute standard of professional casino grade playing cards but it does balance the feel of playing cards with colouring.

Oh definitely with people. I’m currently working on another deck which is more like the traditional design with Jacks, Queens and Kings. And oh absolutely the Joker, people seem to be most excited to colour him in.

Damn I am jealous... >:( Always wanted to see them!

I honestly enjoy ogling them. You are right that "unique" and "good" are not necessarily synonyms as I've come across some gorgeous decks that lack any possibility to play with. Like they are really nice to look at but the pips and colour scheme makes it difficult to see the numbers and figure out what card you actually have.

I am actually finishing up a design at the moment. I posted my design looking for feedback on here but still waiting for the moderator approval. Still a newbie  :)

Hi Everyone!

I'm thinking of launching a KS soon. I'm currently working on a unique deck of cards which you can color in. I thought about how fun it'd be to have a deck with 54 unique designs that you can customise and personalise, like use colouring pencils, pen, watercolours, etc.

These cards are hopefully something you've never seen before. Here’s some designs I’ve made and shared with friends to get coloured.










Anything you’d suggest I should consider? Please comment and share your thoughts and idea

Hi!

My name is Claire Green. I'm a 2nd year uni student from Australia who has recently become obsessed with playing cards. Thought this would be an awesome forum to join  :D

I had a recent assignment where I had to create some playing cards and the response I had from students and teachers was quite positive...

I really look forward to sharing it here and getting feedback  :)

What else about me? I have a silly Siamese cat and I love to spend my day chilling and drawing whilst listening to music, namely Jean Michel Jarre, The Eagles and Pink Floyd.
