Acrylic playing card blanks

[Aussie]

Long story short:

A neighbour of mine is always giving me a hand with handyman issues, he does these things only because he is a really nice person and expects nothing in return. He and his wife are huge card players and have a huge shed in their yard and host card nights every Friday night, with up to 30 people attending. They play cards and drink till the small hours of the night, never any issues, never too much noise.

I would love to be able to pay back - I would love to be able to turn say ten or so pens for them, but want playing cards along the body of the acrylic. Slimline design. I have googled and haven't found what I want so am throwing this out there for help.

I live in Australia but happy to pay postage as this is a payback to a really nice genuine person.

"The Classic Nib" has some playing card blanks by Patterson Grant.
Didn't see any for slimlines - might want to change to a different kit, or ask if the blanks are available for a slimline.

Patterson Grant's card blanks are awesome. I would REALLY think hard about putting them on the Sierra platform. Here's one I've done on an Elegant Sierra.

MIKL lives in your state of Victoria and he does them too. Private message him and see if he can help you.
His pen is the one on the front page at the moment.

Patterson Grant to my knowledge is the originator of the playing card blanks.
His blanks are amazing.

From what I've done so far, 8mm is the smallest I would ever do. If I did a slimline there would be very little acrylic covering the blank at all. These are all 8mm tube pens, tec bolts and tiny giants.

An inlay blank may be a good choice as well.
