Flip cards. Cook ideas. Serve doodles!
Flip Doodle Deluxe is the latest in low-fi doodling tech for artists of all ages. This deck of 72 cards is packed with all sorts of ways to spark new ideas and grow creative skill. Even better, you can invite as many friends as you want to join in!
How it works
Prompts – Green-backed cards have 12 words on them. Draw one or two cards from this pile and choose any two words to mash up into a fun, random idea. Like Spoon and Axolotl or Bat and Helmet. Then get to doodling. There are 528 prompts and pretty much infinite word combos to inspire your creations.
Challenges – Orange-backed cards have all sorts of art challenges for those who want to share their creations and/or just level up their personal creativity. After selecting prompts, draw a Challenges card and choose one to take on.
Dice – For an added challenge, roll two six-sided dice. Use the numbers rolled to narrow down your options. For instance on a roll of 3 and 5, use any two words with those numbers next to them. Dice for Flip Doodle Deluxe can be ordered at checkout (while supplies last) or feel free to find your own!

Yup, I’m all-in on doodling. If you haven’t noticed, this whole idea of doodling is really important to me. It’s not just about the nonsense of it all, even though that’s my favorite reason to doodle. It’s about stretching our creativity. Growing our capacity for generating ideas. Bending reality and seeing things differently. When we grow, so many possibilities open up not only for personal creativity, but sharing experiences with others.
Made for
Inspired artists + creative pros – As creatives, maintaining a sense of play is at the core of staying inspired. Flip Doodle Deluxe is all about playing with ideas and experimenting with possibilities. I’m also excited by the potential for connecting with others through Flip Doodle Deluxe. There’s all sorts of possibilities – live drawing events, fun product discovery sessions, putting on art shows, inventing new ways to use FDD cards and more!
Discerning parents – Promoting creativity within children is something most parents would agree is important. But what if creativity could be a source of entertainment? Sure, Flip Doodle Deluxe gives parents something fun to share with their children. But the real joy comes in seeing a child choosing to focus on their creations for hours. Time they’ll enjoy away from aggressive marketing tactics and social toxicity online.
Educators at all levels – In talking with teachers and professors, they tell me they’re looking for gamified, interactive experiences that promote collaboration between students. They want to support students who value their creativity. Flip Doodle Deluxe is made specifically with these ideas in mind.
BTW – I offer onsite, facilitated sessions with Flip Doodle Deluxe. If you or your team is interested, just ask!
