About this Product
This is the original Gripper Playing Card Holder* that started it all! (No pockets, no frills, just a great card holder!)
A unique and fun playing card holder for all the Seattle Seahawks fans out there!
(Note: This card holder is Made on an order-by order basis only.) Please message me regarding the amount of holders you'd like BEFORE placing your order! I will respond letting you know if I have enough fabric. Thank you!
Now about this playing card holder:
It's easy to use: as your cards are dealt to you, gently spread the card holder just enough to slip you first card in between the felt pads. The rest of the cards slide right in next to it, one by one. This unique card holder will hold a whole deck of cards and more!
The Gripper Standard card holder is unique in the world of hand held card holders. It's my own design, with a patent pending.
As with all my Gripper card holders, you'll notice this one has a nice padded feel to it. A nice bonus is once your card hand is inserted into the holder, the cards will not fall out! Thus the name "The Gripper"! (You will still be able to add, remove, or rearrange your cards.)
- Made with only quality materials, your Gripper playing card holder will last you for years to come.
- Photos are for illustration only unless stated. Designs tend to change throughout the fabric, so no two card holders are alike; playing cards not included.
- Note that all my Gripper playing card holders are made in a pet-free, smoke-free, and most important, a VIRUS-FREE environment.
- *Voted best card holder for 6 years in a row!

Meet the Maker
Hello, and thank you for stopping by! My name is Rob (posing with my beautiful wife Jeanne) and I'm excited that you've decided to drop by to learn a bit about me and why I make playing card holders!
Prior to becoming a crafter, I was a self-taught artist, dabbling in watercolors, oils, acrylics and pencil. When I retired the first of 2007, I tried my hand at producing paintings of landscapes, birds, flowers, and even portraits. However, it didn't take me long to find out that unless one is extremely talented the artwork pretty much goes unnoticed.
I'm having a good time in my retirement and this new chapter of my life, but I'm the type of person who needs to be busy.
So when my wife retired a couple of years later, we decided to try the "Snow Bird" scene for a while. (It was fun, but all the driving to and fro plus the packing, etc. got way too tiring so that was the end of that.)
But while we were there I discovered that many retirees loved to play card games. However, I also learned that there were many who had problems holding the cards due to hand issues, way too many cards, etc. So I decided to set out to find a solution. After many trials and errors, I came up with a prototype which, after consulting with my wife (who has done quite a bit of sewing and quilting) I improved upon and set out to test my "invention" at craft fairs. To my surprise, they went over so well that I actually sold out at my first one! I quickly made more that evening and participated in another craft fair where I just about sold out again.
After arriving back home, I improved upon my design yet again and started making more for our next trip to the south. The next craft fair was a testament to word of mouth advertising, as many of my customers were referrals from the customers who bought from me the previous year. Thus, the Amazing Gripper Playing Card Holders were born! My unique card holders have continued to evolve to what you see here in my shop. Over the years, I've added many styles to the delight of many of my loyal customers.
So there you are - my story in a nutshell. I hope you enjoyed reading it; please continue to browse my shop and contact me if you've got any ideas or comments. Enjoy, and have fun at the card table!

How it’s Made
Made with quality materials, I create my Grippers in a little shop located in my backyard. I do it all: buy all the materials needed, prepare everything to be made into one of my unique playing card holders, package and ship them, and do all the advertising needed. Unlike all the imitators out there, all my Grippers are meticulously made with great attention to detail. Because of that, each one actually takes anywhere from 1 to 2 days to complete.
