What a TCG-style custom card is
Kids who collect trading card games love the format: a character, a name, a type, a set of powers and numbers. A custom card in that style puts your kid in the frame — their photo, a character name they invent, and stats written for laughs.
These are original custom designs inspired by the look of trading card games. They are not official cards and are not affiliated with any card brand — they are your photo and your imagination, printed on real card stock.
Building the card
Start with a photo that has personality — a costume, a superhero pose, a big grin. Upload it, pick a bold template with plenty of energy, and let your kid drive the details.
- ✓A character name your kid invents for themselves
- ✓A "type" or element — fire, water, lightning, or their own invention
- ✓Playful stats: speed, snack attack, bedtime resistance, silliness level
- ✓A special move or two — the funnier, the better
A gift and a game in one
The design process is half the gift. Kids take invented stats extremely seriously, and negotiating the numbers is its own afternoon of fun. Designing is free, so they can build as many versions as they want.
The printed card — from $17.99, in a magnetic display case — becomes the crown jewel of their collection: the only card in the world with them on it. Siblings and friends usually want their own immediately.
