What makes Greengate Images bingo sets special?

• Jessica R. M. S. • Bingo

With so many bingo sets out there, I wanted to share what makes mine a little different.

Table of Contents

🎨 Beautiful Design

Each bingo set is designed to be visually appealing and cohesive. I spend time choosing fonts that reflect the theme (and are still easy to read), designing the FREE space and header to match the look, and making sure everything feels polished and intentional.

The goal is for each set to not only be fun to play, but add to the atmosphere. This is a game that fits in beautifully with your decorations and looks great laid out on the table.

⏱️ Time and Thoughtfulness

Each bingo set takes 20 to 50+ hours to create. Some of the steps include:

  • Researching the topic
  • Deciding which elements will be featured (this probably takes the longest!)
  • Gathering and editing artwork
  • Designing the playing cards
  • Checking every detail
  • Converting all pieces into a clear set of print-ready PDFs

I put in this time so that the final product is more than just visually appealing, it’s educational, diverse, sparks conversation, brings up happy memories, and helps players connect with the theme in a meaningful way.

✋ Hand-Created Art (Not AI-Generated)

All artwork in my bingo sets is hand-painted or hand-drawn by real artists (including some by me). I never use AI-generated images.

I license artwork from illustrators around the world and follow shop policies and usage rights. If I can’t find the exact image I need, I’ll create it myself. I also keep a record of where every image comes from and credit artists in each listing, even when it’s not required. I'm so appreciative of their talent and don't want to take these artists for granted!

(Even all of the mockup photos you see are taken by me using real backdrops and props.)

📚 Research and Accuracy

Each bingo set is carefully researched so it reflects the topic honestly and clearly, whether it’s a state, holiday, event, or general theme.

I double- and triple-check spellings and terminology, and if I get suggestions or corrections from customers, I take them seriously. Many sets have been improved (or newly created!) thanks to helpful feedback.

🧩 Practical, User-Friendly Format

I try to make my products as practical as they are beautiful. That means:

  • No edge-to-edge bleeds (so printing is easier and more consistent)
  • Simple layouts for minimal cutting
  • Readable text, with large-print versions when possible
  • Enlarged calling cards
  • All sets include either word captions, numbers, or both, to avoid confusion during gameplay
  • Bingo board numbers are included, making it easy to verify that each card is unique
  • Sizes and formats that work well across a variety of settings, like classrooms, senior centers, parties, or home use

💬 Kind, Professional Customer Service

I’ve worked as a graphic designer for over 25 years--with universities, nonprofits, churches, corporations, and small businesses. Now, I get to run my own shop and choose the projects I’m most excited about. I love it!

I answer questions quickly and do my best to help with anything you need. My goal is to make sure your experience is smooth, helpful, and kind.

Thanks so much for reading, and be sure to let me know if you're looking for a specific topic to add to the shop. I love suggestions.
