A ready-made vintage playing card junk journal kit of 20 printable cards from the Cloisters Playing Cards, the only complete illuminated deck of ordinary playing cards known from the 15th century, hand-painted in the Burgundian Netherlands about 1475 to 1480. Its four suits are hunting gear: hound collars, hunting horns, nooses and dog tethers. The kit has all twelve court cards (kings, queens and knaves, including the jester knave), the four aces and the four tens, with rounded ends and red-and-blue borders. Rich medieval costumes and gold-crowned figures make them perfect for game-night, gothic and medieval journals, tags, collage, planners, scrapbooking, card making and wall art.

Print sizes at 300 dpi (they vary by piece type; files are never resized):
• Hand-painted playing cards (20): about 7 × 12 in up to 7 × 13 in, big enough for A4 / letter prints, tags and framing
Everything also prints smaller (A5, A6, tags, ATCs) with no loss.

Pieces included: King of Collars; Queen of Collars; Knave of Collars; King of Horns; Queen of Horns; Knave of Horns; King of Nooses; Queen of Nooses; Knave of Nooses (the fool); King of Tethers; Queen of Tethers; Knave of Tethers; Ace (1) of Collars; Ace (1) of Horns; Ace (1) of Nooses; Ace (1) of Tethers; Ten of Collars; Ten of Horns; Ten of Nooses; Ten of Tethers.

Files: 20 high-resolution JPGs in one zip download (31 MB). Pixel sizes: hand-painted cards about 3,800–3,900 px on the long edge. These are the full-size museum and library scans. Nothing is cropped or resized: each card is the museum's full original photograph, shown on its black background.
