SIDESHOW CUT CARD - Let's Do This!! FREE TO A GOOD HOME.

Unread post by Gina »

Gents- I want to design a metal cut card for my kickstarter campaign. My theme is SIDESHOW. All my inspiration is from old school banner art. I'm looking for some suggestions!!! If I use your idea for the cut card, I'll send you one for free!! Even if my kickstarter campaign isn't funded, I'll still mail you the cut card as a thank you! I can only afford to give away one but appreciate any and all feedback!!!!

No need to send any artwork - I'm just looking for a cool idea for this one special "add on" :)

Well, it's a 'cut' card, so...
Magic related more than sideshow, but they often went together, especially this old gag (cut a lady in a box in half).

Knife throwing would be interesting too

How much detail or color can you have on it? Also, I assume you mean cut card like dealer cut card, usually pastic, but you are doing metal. Etched, painted?

It might be neat to do a before and after on either side too, especially if the after appears to have gone horribly wrong, but you can show that behind the scenes it was just an act (show how it was done).

I guess Barnum and Bailey are the spiritual grandfathers of the Sideshow.
And If metal etched it needs to be a fairly simple design.

I love the vintage poster / Ad look too

Maybe an admission ticket? That's if you go with the simplified route.

Don't know where exactly you could get it done but this guy has a penchant for including card sized metal certificates in his projects, the're typically just black ink:

Gambler's Warehouse had one made as well (I have one) and I have to say the detail on whoever made that card is pretty fantastic, and they used a few extra colors:

I'm loving all 3 design ideas but I think the play on word for "cut" card using the knife thrower or magician sawing someone in half is fantastic!!
I'm on it.
WINNER ECNATE. I could hold off another day or two for more suggestions but why when I like this one? :) For the metal cut card, I have a stateside vendor so let me knock out this artwork and get it sent up ASAP! ECNATE, I'll have the cut card prize for you right when the campaign starts!!! Stannnddd byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

heh heh awwwwww - inspiration comes in many forms MonteCarloJoe - Even though I didn't like your idea, maybe I was subconsciously motivated to add a circus vibe to the cut card edge..
You get the free cut card too then. :) Besides, you helped me with feedback on my other posts too! It takes a village to create a deck of cards... (that might of been the cheesiest thing I've ever written.. ever) :)

Long story short, I appreciate your help.

Since you helped me with the idea, I'm sending you a free cut card as a thank you!! (I'm told they should be completed by 24 September! I'll keep you updated!)
