Gildercourt Deck of Cards Template
by ShuffleKit
A free deck of cards template with all 54 cards, to print as poker cards or to make into a deck of your own. The four suits run from ace to ten with their pips laid out the traditional way, the twelve court cards are drawn as their crowns, coronets and caps in an old engraved style, and the two jokers have a jester's cap and a juggler's clubs. Every card has its rank and suit in the top corner and again upside down in the bottom one, in red or black, and the back is a deep red lace with a crown in the middle. A Blank card design prints the corners and a gold frame round an empty middle, for a blank playing card of your own, and two blanks come with the deck. Type a rank and a suit, and the card finds its front.

What’s in Gildercourt Deck of Cards Template
Eight designs: Blank Card, Spades Number Card, Hearts Number Card, Diamonds Number Card, Clubs Number Card, Court Card, Joker and Card Back.
Your cards live in a sheet, one row each, with a column for every field the designs read: Rank, Suit, Name and Artwork. 56 of those rows arrive filled in, so there is something on the design before you type a word.

How to make a deck of cards with this template
- Add the template to a project. It brings the Blank card, a number front for each suit, the Court and Joker fronts, the back, and all 54 cards of the sample deck with two blanks.
- Print it as it is, or make it your own: give the court cards and jokers pictures of your own in the Artwork column, rename them, or change the deck's name on the back.
- Each card is a row with a Rank and a Suit. A to 10 draw their pips on their suit's front, J, Q and K go to the Court front, and a rank of Joker goes to the Joker front.
- To change the red or black of a suit, pick a new colour for it in the Suit column's options. The court cards and the blank cards follow it.
- Export a print PDF, nine cards to a sheet of Letter or A4 with the backs lined up for two-sided printing, or send the deck to be printed, cut and boxed.
Printing at poker size
Poker: 2.5 × 3.5 in, 63.5 × 88.9 mm, 750 × 1050 pixels at 300 DPI.
On the Hobby plan, export a print-ready PDF with bleed and cut lines. PNG and SVG come out at the same size, which is what Tabletop Simulator wants. On Indie, send it to a print-on-demand partner through Print & Ship.
A printer asks for an eighth of an inch of bleed on every edge on top of those numbers, so this card goes out as 825 × 1125. The export adds it. Let the artwork run into the bleed and keep the text inside the cut line, and nothing arrives trimmed.
Questions about Gildercourt Deck of Cards Template
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Still have questions? Contact us
Is this a printable deck of cards?
Yes. All 54 cards are in the sample deck, ace to king in four suits and two jokers, each one ready to print on its own front, with a back that lines up when you print double-sided. Run the PDF on 300gsm card stock and cut inside the crop marks; round the corners with a corner punch if you want them to shuffle like a shop deck.
Can I use it as a poker card template?
Yes. The cards are poker size, 2.5 × 3.5 inches (63.5 × 88.9 mm), the size casino and home poker decks use and the size sleeves and card boxes are made for. The indices sit in the corners in large type, so a card can be read when it is fanned in a hand.
How do I make a blank deck of cards?
Leave the Rank empty. A card with no rank lands on the Blank card design, which prints a thin gold frame round an empty middle on white, ready to draw or write on. Give it a Rank and a Suit and the corners fill in while the middle stays empty, with a faint pip of the suit behind it: a blank playing card for a custom rule or a house card.
What happens when I add Gildercourt Deck of Cards Template to a project?
The eight designs, the four fields and the 56 sample cards are copied into a project of yours, with the fields already pointed at the design. Nothing stays linked to this page afterwards, so the author's later edits never reach your copy.
What size does Gildercourt Deck of Cards Template print at?
Poker size: 2.5 × 3.5 in, 63.5 × 88.9 mm, 750 × 1050 pixels at 300 DPI. Those are the numbers to hand a print shop, and the ones to check a sleeve against.
Is Gildercourt Deck of Cards Template free?
Yes. Adding it, editing it, filling it with your own cards and playtesting it online are all free. Exporting print files starts on the Hobby plan, and Print & Ship through The Game Crafter is on Indie. No template sits behind a paid plan.
Can I change the designs?
Yes. They land in your project as ordinary layouts, so you can drag an element somewhere else, put your own art behind the frame, restyle the type or rename a field. Edit a design once and every card on it follows.
Can I use my own cards instead of the samples?
Yes — the samples are rows in a sheet, and they are there to be overwritten. Type over them, add rows of your own, or bring a CSV and match its headers to the fields.
Can I sell a game made with Gildercourt Deck of Cards Template?
Yes. This one is ours, and you keep commercial rights to what you build from it, crowdfunding and retail included.
