Question about copyright laws

I have a deck of playing cards with spectacular artwork on it. I want to use them on greeting cards that I am making, but a friend pointed out that this would probably be illegal. What if I put the artist's name on the back of the card along with the name of the set that it came from? Thank you for your assistance!

That does not make it permissible. The legal way is to contact that artist (or whoever holds those rights). If you don't plan on making money with it and just want to play around, then that's a risk you take.
