The earliest playing cards are believed to have originated in Central Asia around the 9th or 10th century. The cards we use today are derived from the French, which gave us the suits of spades, clubs, diamonds and hearts.

It was around 1800 that Americans began making their own cards. American ingenuity soon invented or adopted practical refinements such as double-headed cards to avoid the nuisance of turning the figure upright, varnished surfaces for durability and smoothness in shuffling and rounded corners to avoid the wear that card players inflict on square corners. Americans also invented the Joker.

I’ve always liked the look and feel of playing cards, especially a new deck with all of the cards in pristine condition and perfect order. I also like to come up with my own playing card clip art with effects you might not normally see.

The free playing card clip art below comes in three categories. The first one is a complete set of regular playing cards for anyone who might want to add their own effects, the second one has a “puzzle” effect and the last one has a “stretched and pulled” effect.

You’re free to use this clip art on your personal or commercial site as long as you do not use it for sale or to form your own free collection of clip art.

Enjoy!
