Hi friends! Today we're customizing a regular deck of playing cards with photos from your life! We love sharing our favorite photos in unexpected ways around the house. Next time you have friends over for a game of cards they'll be so impressed with your adorable customized set!
This card set also makes great gifts. Think Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day… the possibilities are endless!
Here’s what you’ll need to make your own set of playing cards:
1 deck of cards
52 printed photos (repeat 5 or less photos)
Scrapbook adhesive 
First, we resized our photos to be 2.5 x 3.5 inches (the same size as our playing cards) and then printed 52 of them with the Canon MG6320 printer. We used the 8.5 x 11 Canon Matte Photo Paper to make the colors really pop. 
Once they were printed, we trimmed each photo and applied scrapbook adhesive to back side of each playing card. We carefully lined up the back of the playing card with the back of the photo and pressed them together. Then, we took scissors and trimmed the edges and corners of the photo so they were the same exact size as the playing card. Repeat these steps with your photos until all your cards are completed, and then you’re done!
TIP: We'd recommend repeating 5 or less pictures across all the cards, so you aren't giving away your hand! Maybe even fewer if your friends have a crazy memory. 🙂
Thanks so much for joining us for another round of crafting with Canon USA. We're having so much fun printing photos. Please let us know if there are any photo printing projects you'd like to see here in the future!

What kind of adhesive did you use. I would like to make some of my own, but needed
to know what kind you used?

OMG so cool! Αβσλθτφε! (Greek for Awesome) Cant wait to see what you’ll make next! ????????????????????????
What a great idea!
this is a good idea for when you have a deck of mis matched cards, since you lost a few and found a few and kind of adopted a few!
what kind of scrap book adhesive did you use? would mod podge work or would that warp the card? also, is double sided tape a reasonable alternative?
This is a very silly question but do you know how to actually get the photos to print the right size. Even if I select it and paste on a4 file, it always changes it.
How about four different photos, one for each suit? You might memorize the suit photos but you wouldn’t know which cards per suit anyone else is holding.
Well, now that I read other’s people comments, I realize that there is a little change to make (because of the ease to cheat). But I still love them!
This one is great! I would never have thought of that!
Omg, this was the coolest thing ever. I collect playing cards so definitely have to try this. xox
If you made the pictures smaller and put them on the front of the card rather than the back, the way that the old playboy cards used to do with pinups that would work and you could use 52 different pictures
People are dumb. I say this with the most love possible…but seriously, it says, IN THE TUTORIAL, use 5 images or less so that not every single card is different. Only every 5 or so.
This is such a cool idea! I’ll definitely have to try this out!

If you used 4 photos and used the different 4 for the 8’s, Aces, 10’s etc then it would not give your hand away!!

Amy, The cards are thicker than average, but not hard to play with at all.
