Holly Humberstone Playing Cards

£15.00

Release date: November 27, 2026

Created in collaboration with artist Lucy Humberstone, the Cruel World universe brings you its own, limited edition, art playing cards. Featuring all of your favorite characters in a series of paintings and hand drawn designs, this official Cruel World deck is the perfect addition to the contents of your bag, bookshelf or stocking. Let the games begin. 
A message from the Artist:
It has been a total dream to design a deck for the fairytale world that my sisters have created & to contribute in my own way. 
The designs on the cards are a series of ‘Cruel World’ inspired paintings and drawings. For the King, Queen and Jack cards I sketched images of Death, Holly and the Knight - characters you know and love from the music videos. The back of the cards was created from a scan of the vintage corset, worn in the CW music video, layered with vintage lace and airbrush painting. 
Cards have a special ability to bring groups of people together - I hope they bring you luck and good times.
