Have a Look at the NEW Addition to the Paisley Poker Series Playing Cards

In 2021, the Dutch Card House Company (DCHC) embarked on a creative journey with the launch of their Paisley Poker playing card series, featuring the vibrant red, blue, and yellow editions adorned with their distinctive paisley pattern. These colorful cards, sans their marking system to ensure fair play in poker games, garnered immense support with almost 400 backers rallying behind their project.

A popular request has been for a borderless Paisley Playing Card deck, and the team at DCHC is excited to announce that the time has come to bring this vision to life. This new edition features white decor, carefully chosen to accentuate the vivid colors and transform this borderless design into a visual feast.

The borderless back design of the cards gracefully showcases an intricate pattern as it elegantly unfolds especially when fanning their deck of cards. 

For the first time in the Paisley series, they updated the tuck design. The look at feel still completely complement the series, but this time the design runs from the front to the back of the box and can create a display with 3 boxes. A custom seal is used to securely close the deck of cards, providing unmistakable proof that the deck is brand new and untouched when opened by a dealer at the (poker) table.

For devoted Paisley enthusiasts, an exclusive Collector’s deck featuring the Turquoise Tuck. The cards are the same as with the white deck! Limited print to just 150 units, with a numbered custom seal.

Printed by WJPC and available now on Kickstarter for $17.

Paisley Playing Cards Ton sur Ton on Kickstarter

Dutch Card House Co., a playing card company based in Amsterdam, released a popular deck of cards in 2018 called Paisley Playing Cards, featuring a design based on the ancient Persian Paisley pattern. The deck received positive support and multiple series were released, including Metallic Red & Blue, Magical Black & Gold, Christmas, Royals, and Poker. The company is now introducing a new addition to the series, the Paisley Ton sur Ton Playing Cards.

Ton sur Ton is a Dutch fashion term that hints at the combination of similar colors, creating a pleasant matching design of this iconic natural paisley pattern. This series comes in three colorways: Poudre Rouge, Poudre Blue, and Poudre Green. Both Blue and Red are standard editions, while Green is a Kickstarter exclusive edition.

The tuck box for the Blue and Rouge editions comes with an alternative tuck closure. The flap of the box folds over the tuck and slides into the die cut halfway through the tuck. With the illustrious elaborate ribbon banner panning from the top to the back of the box, it compliments the unique design of the flap. The box also comes with embossing on the artwork with silver and rose gold (respectively) foil to add up an extra glamorous look.

The design of the cards is what you would expect in every Paisley Playing Cards series: standards with slight modifications. The back design is a monochrome color of its respective edition, with courts colored either Blue or Rouge based on its edition. These decks will be produced by Legends Playing Cards Co. on their crushed stock with Viper Finish and Diamond Cut, with each edition limited to 700 decks.

Poudre Green Edition features a sideway tuck case – the cards are accessible with a box that opens from the sides. It also features artwork with embossing and green gold foil. The cards are also in the same format as the standard editions, only that it uses the green color scheme to match their name. This deck will be produced by WJPC on their exclsuive paper stock with a butter-smooth finish. This is a Kickstarter-exclusive item, and it will be made based on the order counts in the campaign.

Pledge starts at $18 on Kickstarter. The three decks are also available in Gilded Editions: Poudre Blue with Silver Foil Gilding – Poudre Rouge with Rose Gold Foil Gilding – Pudre Green with Green Foil Gilding. The tuck case for the Gilded Editions will come with custom numbered sealed done in the foil of respective gilding color.

Deck View: Paisley (Royal Purple Edition) Playing Cards

Magician. Royal. Stunning.

The Paisley Royals Purple Edition Playing Cards was the second stretched goal in the Paisley Kickstarter campaign last year. Designed by the Dutch Card House Company, the stunning deck was crafted with the Magician and collector in mind.

The card back features the well-known Paisley pattern in a rich purple background completed with gold metallic ink. The golden ink bleeds over the border for the most royal appearance. Also, the backs feature a marking system for suits and value, integrated into the detailed paisley back design.

The Paisley Royals comes with a classy recognizable traditional look with adjustments made to the color composition to fit the overall theme of the decks. The face cards are printed with metallic ink! Packaged in a luxurious matte tuck box manufactured with two-color hot-stamped foil and embossing! The stunning Gold and Purple foil make this deck a head-turner.

Printed by the USPCC on their famous Bicycle grade stock, crushed and traditionally cut and available for €21 from dutchcardhousecompany.com.

Paisley (Poker Edition) Playing Cards on Kickstarter

Paisley Playing Cards are back, and this time in a vibrant colorway and WITHOUT the marking system. Paisley Poker Edition Playing Cards are perfect for family game nights. The idea for poker playing cards did not end with the cards alone. The team at Dutch Cards House Co. wants to give all tabletop game players a unique set of tabletop counters to play games in Paisley style!

THREE decks are on offer during the Kickstarter campaign, Blue, Red, and Yellow editions. All three decks come with two metallic inks on the faces, back, and tuck.

For the Poker Blue edition, the team chose a dark Imperial Blue as the main color of the deck and tuck. The paisley design has been designed with gold, yellow, orange, and teal shades.  For the Poker Red edition, the dominant color is Velvet Red combined with yellow, gold, blue, and orange shades. The very special Paisley gilded yellow edition comes with an updated color scheme to the courts and Ace of Spades, different than that of the Blue and Red edition.

Inside, the court cards and numbered cards maintain their traditional look to make them recognizable for every card and tabletop game. They all have been updated with some Paisley details with the respective deck's color scheme. This means the court cards of the blue deck are slightly different than the courts in the red edition. This ensures that each deck is unique. 

The tuck has the same recognizable style as all other Paisley editions. The big Paisley logo placed on the front and the Paisley's name suited on the side. This means it has a nice consistency on your shelf when displaying all paisley editions together.

The decks are printed by Cartamundi on their True Linen B9 finish Slim-Line Board. Pledge starts at $28 on Kickstarter. Also available during the campaign is a premium, hand-crafted custom-designed wooden (veneer) box with a black matte finish that will stand out on your game table for sure!

Card Flash: Paisley Playing Cards

Currently, in the fulfillment stage, Paisley Playing Cards is a classic looking deck inspired by the timeless Paisley design. The team at Dutch Card House Company showed their versatility by developing a new deck design, totally different from the first three cardistry-centric playing cards they've produced.

This time, the team created a worker's deck for everyday use and performance. On the outside, the simplistic deep black tuck with mesmerizing paisley design, giving a rich and elegant look to the tuck.

Inside, the 52 cards combine elegance with function. The nature-inspired design lends itself perfectly for a clean yet mesmerizing back design.

The eye-catching court cards appear in their traditional designs but with a slight paisley design embedded in the garments. A nice touch to unify the overall theme.

Also, included in this deck is a well hidden, two ways, marking system integrated into the back design. At first glance, it is invisible to the eye but once you know where it is, it is relatively easy to read. This allows you to focus your attention purely on connecting with the audience.

The deck was printed by the USPCC on crushed grade stock with the Air Cushion Finish and traditionally cut. Available now from dutchcardhousecompany.com for €10.
