One of the special issues of Paper Crafting took large diecut shapes of red and black cardstock (diamond, heart, spade, club), mounted actual playing card on them, strung them together to make a garland to decorate the room. They also did layered circles in poker colors to make pretend poker chips. They color copied and reduced playing cards to about 1 1/2", mounted them on cardstock and attached them to drink hoops for drink identifiers. They even color copied real money (lots of pieces of it together) to cut down the copies and place as inserts into the paper plates (which were also red or black). So the plates appeared to be lined in $.
