Etsy Printable Party Game
Design a printable party game (cards, signs, bingo) with human-written rules. AI may help with art assets; do not AI-generate the functional instructions themselves per Etsy policy.
Pipeline steps
1 Write game rules yourself
Draft rules, card text, and scoring by hand. Do not generate the instructions with AI.
Best tool: Canva
- Affinity Publisher — Multi-page PDF control
Tip: Etsy prohibits AI-generated functional instructions.
2 Generate decorative art
Create icons, borders, and card backs with AI; curate heavily.
Best tool: Midjourney
Tip: Disclose AI for the listing overall if art is AI-created.
3 Layout cards & pages
Set bleeds for home printers; consistent card size.
Best tool: Canva
- Affinity Publisher — Imposition and bleeds
- Adobe Illustrator — Vector card decks
Tip: Include cut lines / safe margins.
4 Print a real sample
Print and photograph the actual game for listing compliance.
Best tool: Canva
- Placeit — Extra lifestyle mockups only — still need a real photo
Tip: Etsy wants a real result photo for instruction-style goods.
5 List with disclosure
Upload PDF; disclose AI art; state that rules are human-written.
Best tool: Canva
Tip: Link policy pages in your shop policies if helpful.
Export specs
Print-ready PDF pages at letter/A4 or card sizes; embed fonts or outline text. Raster art ~300 DPI at print size (practice).
| Rules content | Must be your own work — not AI-generated functional instructions (Etsy) |
|---|---|
| Art assets | AI art allowed with disclosure + human curation |
| Listing proof | Show an actual printed result made from your files, not only an AI simulation |
