I've heard that the metal cut cards might be in short supply, so I checked with @TheChipVault and @Cratty and I have their blessing to design some plastic cut cards to be made in the near future...
Update: ORDER HAS BEEN PLACED! Here are the 4 designs we ended up with:
Hoping for them to be in my hands in about a month to be reshipped out to all of you!

I plan on offering only one design, with different artwork on each side, in both bridge and poker size. One side is inspired by the $5 chip, gold-on-red. Here are the three candidates:

With Chinese New Year coming up, I wanted to use Chinese "foo" / "fu" lions ... or dogs, or lion-dogs
on a few of the design options. I decided to to include a third design, incorporating the Buddha, who appears on the gorgeous $100 chip. This design also serves as a tribute to @Johnny5, with the Buddha resembling the one on the inlay of his China Club tribute set design for @Chippy McChiperson, Nirvana Lounge.
The second set of designs, meant to appear on the opposite side of whichever design from above gets picked. The inspiration for these designs are Chinese paper cutting art pieces:
As mentioned above, I am featuring a foo lion head often seen at Chinese New Year celebrations as part of the lion dance. The second design is a more intricate paper cutting design, featuring two carp fish, symbols of fortune and prosperity in Chinese culture, and in Japan, where they're known as "koi". Speaking of Japan, I decided to incorporate both the foo lion and the maneki-neko into one design for the third option.
Which design from each group would you like seen made into a cut card? Again, I plan on doing only one pairing, unless there's really strong demand for a more than one sets of designs.
Update: I'll be offering 3 designs in both bridge-size and poker-size:
FYI - I subbed in a different dancing lion for Design B.
The opposite side of each of the above three cut cards will be the maneki-neko dressed up as a foo lion:
And yes, the maneki-neko on red background is a new design option!
Please indicate your specific quantities desired as follows:
Design A: 5 bridge, 2 poker
Design B: 5 bridge, 2 poker
Design C: 8 bridge, 3 poker
Pricing will dependi on our final quantities. There is no specific MOQ per design, but I do have to order in specific increments. I'd estimate ~$1.50/cut card for now, with the hopes that price will drop if we get a decent size order together...
(Not sure when I'll close orders, but probably not for a week.)
Edit: Final design should be as follows:
Update: New "Design D" option now available. Reply with add-ons or revisions to your existing order!
FYI - I will likely close orders by the end of this week!
