174 backers pledged $5,888 USD on March 25, 2015 to fund this KickStarter project which featured unique and custom cartoon style drawings about love on each card, forgoing the use of traditional pips.  They were designed by Natlia Silva and printed by MPC on 310gsm French casino quality card stock with black core (linen finish), available in standard deck and uncut formats.

Original plan was to print the tuck box without any embossing. During the campaign backers were offered to upgrade any number of their decks to include embossing on their tucks. This upgrade cost $2 per deck. Once the production finished and Natalia received the cards there was an apparent problem. All 500 decks were produced with embossed tucks and not only that, they had the wrong embossing applied (where the entire area around the hearts and title/tagline were negatively embossed as an indentation instead of raised hearts), see Update #8 on the project page.

As a result of this error MPC reprinted the deck for those backers that wanted the correct embossing applied to the tucks.

The final numbers of decks produced were:

• None without embossing
• 500 with 'wrong embossing'
• 130 with 'correct embossing'

This entry is for the decks with 'correct embossing'

Database entry for the decks with 'wrong embossing' can be found here

The idea for this deck, The Lepidopterist, started as just that: an idea — one that I wasn't sure would ever come to fruition. Between jobs, I would work on it and, after many months, it was finally ready to bring to you! The real inspiration for this deck came from two main things:

• Art Nouveau design and architecture, specifically conservatories/sun rooms

• The incredibly beautiful Chrysiridia rhipheus, better known as the Madagascan Sunset Moth

Both are so unique and so beautiful. Art Nouveau brought an elegant, almost psychedelic, look to the end of the Victoria era and the Sunset Moth has such vibrant, iridescent colors, it almost doesn't seem real. Their special appeal combined to inspire this project.

Thus, The Lepidopterist playing cards were born— a deck of cards inspired by elegant architecture and nature, bringing elements of both into the creation of something I hope you will be proud to be a part of.
