Cartas Blancas Self-improvement playing cards

Cartas Blancas self-help cards are based on the idea that positive thoughts are the key to achieving whatever is desired or cherished in life. Each card contains 2 positive phrases which the enquirer then relates directly to his/her situation, without the need for any one else's interpretation. The design of the cards is clear and simple, and an informal typeface has been used.

CartasBlancas

Cartas Blancas contain 54 cards plus instruction leaflet inside a sturdy box, and are available in Spanish or English versions.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
