Idea Generator Prompt Cards (Printable)

A versatile toolkit to spark endless combinations of creative ideas.
This printable PDF deck contains 60 prompt cards divided into six categories: Theme, Mood, Medium, Constraint, Audience, and Twist. You can shuffle and draw from each category to quickly generate new directions for your project—for example, combining “Dreamlike + Black & White + 5-minute time limit” or “Historical + Playful + Create for Children.” The pack comes with clear instructions, game-like variations for solo or group brainstorming, and a set of blank cards so you can add your own. The prompts are designed to be adaptable across writing, illustration, design, photography, and more, making it a highly reusable tool. Whether you’re battling writer’s block, preparing for a workshop, or just exploring fresh directions, this set transforms creative stagnation into inspired momentum.
