You need to use the Search function for this as the topic has been discussed several times before. Try using 'cardmaker' as the author when searching as he does that sort of thing professionally and offered useful advice for DIY card making some time ago.

thanks for that, i did search 'how to make my own playing cards', to many results lol.

www.cards4magic.co.uk have an item which was advertised as enabling own card production but I think it involves a laser colour copier and therefore a trip to the lcoal printer/copy shop.

thanks for the pm Demitri i was wondering where i could get good decent card stock, and what thickness should i use? . i think WhSmith would have to be the closest card retailer near me, might they have it?

For the template, just use any heavy stock paper - this isn't what you're printing on. Find some that is just as thick as a playing card. I forgot to mention you'll also need blank face or blank backed cards (whichever you're looking to make)

Thick card is sold at Staples, Office World and, on line, by Viking Direct.
