The studio

One painter. One card at a time.

Smeargle Studio makes extended card art: the scene inside a card’s artwork, continued outward until it fills a whole binder page. Every design is finished by hand in the studio’s own style — no templates, no shortcuts.

How it works

From download to display.

01

Buy & download

You get a ZIP with print-ready PDFs — A4 and US Letter, for both standard and VaultX binders. Nothing ships; it's yours in minutes.

02

Print at home

Any color printer works. Photo paper makes it pop, but plain paper looks great too. Print at 100% scale — the sheets carry cut guides.

03

Cut along the guides

Scissors or a craft knife. Each sheet gives you the extension panels, sized exactly to standard card pockets.

04

Slot around your card

Your real card goes in the centre pocket, the panels fill the eight pockets around it — and the page becomes one painting.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

+Do I get a physical product?

No — every listing is a digital download. That's why it's affordable and instant.

+Which binders does it fit?

Standard 9-pocket pages and VaultX (both grids are included as separate PDFs). A 12-pocket version exists for selected designs.

+Is the real card included?

Never — the artwork is designed around a card you already own. We sell the frame, you bring the picture.

+Can I request a card that has no design?

Yes — that's what the binder designer is for. Requests are how new designs get chosen, and popular cards get painted first.

+Can I sell prints of these?

Personal use only. For commercial print licenses, contact the shop on Etsy.

Say hej.
