Giftmas 2025

Fake Trading Cards

Every year I try to make unique gifts for my friends and family for the winter holidays. For 2025, I made fake trading cards of my friends’ characters and my sister’s pet. I designed and illustrated each card, totaling 36 cards including the front and back. Since the minimum requirement for getting these printed professionally was 36 cards, I made some for myself as well.

I wanted some variety with the cards, so not every card is one you’d find for a battle-based trading card game. Some of them are designed like bonus tie-in merch for several types of media. All credits can be found down below.
