Modifying Your Tarot Deck to Reconnect
Вставка

- I have always loved the Crystal Vision for its beauty but never really grab for it as much as some others, like I used to. Maybe putting my own personal touches to it will help me to reconnect?

It turned out so beautifully! Thank you so much-I’ve watched a couple mod videos before, but yours made it seem so simple, non-intimidating-I already have the guillotine, corner rounder, and a couple pens in my Amazon cart. I’m excited to personalize and connect with few of my decks. Loved this. :)
Thank you SO much, I appreciate the compliment
Love the speed and music of this trimming. It was nice to see the cards as you put them to one side. The backs look ok. I really want to trim the Druid Craft Tarot and I'm so scared of making mistakes. However this is a good bank holiday video thank you 🙏💜🙏
Ps fiskars is a great guillotine
Wow! Such a beautiful transformation 🖤💜👌 Love it! 🤩
Thank you 🙏🏼
@@the_hermits_cave if you ever feel called to... would love to watch a walk through of this deck, now that it is modified 🙂
Oh My!! Good for you!! I still have only modded one deck. You got the best corner rounder. It’s the one most of us use. What a fantastic job!!! Beautiful!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you my friend. Yup, the corner rounder is great 👍🏼
Thanks Simon, that was really good! 😊👍
Thanks for sharing this; I've always been curious how they turn out. I really think this deck is so much nicer after the trims and colouring and the illustrations really stand out so much more now. What a beautiful deck .... must go check it out.
Looks a lot better Simon,enjoyed watching this,but now can’t get the music out of my head.😬
Ooops! 😜
Oh WOW I just finished watching this . it's amazing how the colours pop now.im going to get the same tools as u simon.yip I'm a copy cat lol.but as I've never tried it before I've only just edged decks.as I now prefer borderless decks as the pic pops makes so much difference.i think I may have a row of decks now to do .the prices aren't bad for the tools .plus the cards will b easier to handle . many thanks for sharing xx
Copy away!
I have trimmed my crystal visions and also added a bit of sparkling embellishment to them. So much better without the writing on the edges and it also makes the art really stand out, hope you enjoy working with yours now simon, blessings😀🙏❤
I think I will. It’s tonnes better
Awww, the Crystal Visions! I so love this tarot! It is not only beautiful but such a personal deck to me! I really like it both ways - with borders and trimmed! Your edging matches the cards so well, Simon, and reminds me of the pink shade I chose for my Paradoxical Rose. (I'm going to let you on a little secret of mine....I now own the Deviant Moon...)
You do!!!!! Have you shared your thoughts on it?
That’s why I mentioned you, you inspired me to reconnect with it 😍
@@the_hermits_cave Oh, not yet! I have not even mentioned the Deviant Moon on my channel, yet! While it did take me a while to actually "click buy", 'now' was the rightest time and I am so impressed with it, so much so as I'm considering ordering the Paradoxical Deviant Moon, once it's available to purchase (depth year or not...my big 40th is approaching fast, so there are loopholes! LOL!😊)!
I modified my Everyday enchantment tarot deck and i love it more 🤩
What a transformation Simon!. I’ve um’d and ah’d about this deck for years, now I’m convinced I’ll get it. It’s those white borders and copyright that have turned me off. Seeing it trimmed and edged shows it in a completely new light.
Nice job Simon, the Kadomaru Pro is a very good corner rounder that’s what I use. An hour ago I put new corners on my Lo Scarabeo Universal Tarot mini, Lo Scarabeo never rounds them properly. Thanks for the heads up on the Forest Fae deck, ordered it yesterday, got it today, would this deck be considered an Oracle deck, nice deck. I use a Fabre Castell perfection ink eraser pencil to remove the copyright, it takes a little while to complete, but when you’re done your deck has a completely different feel to it. Great video as usual, enjoy your evening.
Ooh great tip. I’d not heard of that pen. Thank you 🙏🏼
Lovely job! I always enjoy modifying a deck. It really does allow you to connect with it. Love the pink edges! Fun video and I enjoyed the music!💜
Thank you 🙏🏼
Its vibe felt like a totally different deck afterwards 💜 What a great transformation!
Thank you for adding the music, my son and I really enjoyed it yesterday 🎶🎶💖🎶🎶
You’re welcome, thank you for watching (both of you!)
That pesky US Games copyright is exactly why I don’t use my Joie de Vivre as much as I would without it! I plan to trim it one day when time allows 😅
Great video!! I’ve never modified my decks before but you have inspired me. Thank you. 🙏🏾 I also have the Crystal Visions Tarot Deck and I love it. 💜😊
Brilliant.. Thank you. 🙏
I trimmed mine too and edged them in purple, but your rose pink goes very well too. Maybe I’ll dig mine out and start using it...maybe.
You have inpired me to start doing deck mods. During Black Friday 2020 I got the same cutter and a lot of ink pads on special sales. I had gotten the corner rounder before that. It's time to do it!
I have already trimmed and used a round corner cutter on my crystal vision deck but I do like the pink edges so will get a marker. I use it a lot since I trimmed it.
I think I’ll be using it a lot more now too!
I also had to modify that deck to connect to it! I do think it’s a pretty little deck
Oh wow!
I love this video. I have a couple of decks that need to be trimmed. I may give it a try. I have only edged two decks, but never trimmed anything.
I've been liking that deck for awhile, but never bought it due to the white borders. when you have some things that you are not using some times you have to repaint it a different color or cut out the borders from the deck, I have a candle holder and tiny stand was bought at a store that 4 years ago and have used them for a bit, but after moving, barely used it. last year I was going through my stuff in my craft room stuff that was literally trash, went in the trash and others I was going to keep and others to keep to the side for either to drop them off at used stores or to a get together of other witches and have them have a free for all ''OHHH Free stuff''!
I came across that small stand and Pillar Candle Holder and decided to repaint them, The stand an Eggplant Purple and the Pillar Candle Holder a Crimson Red and been using them since!
I have the Black Moon Astrology Oracle Deck and the Paulina Tarot that have the White Borders, I would like to cut the borders, but need to get around to purchase the hand cutter at a Craft Store, but be waiting for sales for me to purchase it. That deck you used to cut the borders and color the edges really made the art pop and the color you used matches really well with all the cards. Look lovely and I believe/Hopefully helps you to reconnect!
Thank you, that’s my aim 😉
That turned out so well! Definitely going to pick up one of those guillotines for my next project , thank you for sharing x
You’re welcome and thank you 🙏🏼 ❤️
Hmmm ... I'm generally a bit reluctant to trim decks. Especially when it comes to gold edged borders. Maybe I'll do it for/to the Czech version of the Shadowscape Tarot nonetheless.
The "illustrated crystallery" deck .. has been a quite complicated deck for me. First and foremost the connective issues are linked to production and production quality (cardstock, ...).
What I did in trying to make it work (better): I trimmed the borders. With a ruler and a carpet cutter. That helped a lot to get the pictures clearer - even though the borders were quite pretty. I sleeved the cards (glossy inner sleeves). And then double sleeved them (clear matte front & back). That helped. However, I was not happy yet - the pictures got ab bit too soft-focus because of the matte front. So I de-sleeved the outer ones. That solved the softness issues, but worsened the card stock issues. I left them that way for a while.
Right now (after watching the video), I got the cards other outer sleeves. With a glossy front and an opaque green back. Now the cards have kind of pine green borders again at the front. Surprisingly that helped me to see the pictures clearer (which still had been an issue). I switched the bag for the cards again (from tin box, to Olde Fae card game bag, to runes bag) and got them a rudimentary box. I assume changing things in relation to the deck will come to an end, soon.
... other modifications: Some decks got sleeves, too. Vulnerable or flimsy card stock ... being the main reasons.
Sounds like a lot of trial and error. It’s important we can work with our decks though and so it’s whatever helps with that.
Woohoo!! You’ve moved up to the big time Simon! 😆 I have the same tools. These are the best for trimming.
They really are 😊
Beautiful zombie Simon 🙌🏻💜
Zombie?
I was so inspired by this video that I've ordered Crystal Visions just so I can mod it out. It looks so beautiful without the borders, and I love the way you edged it. I've never done a mod before and I'm excited about it.
Good luck!
@@the_hermits_cave Thanks, I will need it, lol
I enjoyed watching this back Simon 😊 I was thinking about the Fiskars guillotine myself because the one I have is so big and clunky. I already have that corner rounder, I love it best corner rounder I have found. These turned out really great, they look perfect 🥰
Thanks lovely, I’m so pleased with them! 😍
My cutter is awesome, except the top plastic thing is not exactly 45 degress to the blade, so I can't use it as a guide X,D
Dawn Michelle's guide suggestion is something I use and it helps with getting the cards even more even sized. :) but you're right, there should be an official one already!
It’d be so easy for them to do
Fantastic! 😍
Totally agree with you about the copyright symbol. It’s why I never buy cards from US Games.
The last yellow box RWS had the copyright removed.... maybe they are listening
I love all your videos so much! I just recently trimmed the crystal visions deck and it's amazing! lol .. I don't know why I don't use the deck more too :)
That’s exactly what I thought 😉
@@the_hermits_cave I have to admit I think the reason I don't use this as much as I probably should is the cardstock..It is so thin for me
Nice
You would think US Games and other publishers would twig on that their customers DONT WANT the copyright on their cards. Put it on the backs if you must...I could deal with that
Thats a nifty little trimmer you have there! Id be more confidant with that than my free hand. Im just an edger at this point, I havnt graduated to trimming yet ; )
It’s only a matter of time I’m sure 😝
I’m a bit vary of trimming my decks, but I edged a few. It took me a while to get comfortable with the coloring, so maybe trimming wouldn‘t be so bad after a few tries...
It’s always difficult taking that first step!
I actually have the same guillotine, love it. I tape on a ruler to the exact place where I want to trim, to get them even all through, otherwise when you get tired and somewhat unfocused (happens to me 🤪) you can slip 😅
Good idea, do the cards not slide under the ruler though?
@@the_hermits_cave no they don't 😃
Hahah this is exactly how I have spent my bank holiday too, trimming my Bonefire Tarot and re-edging it. Fab video Simon :)
Oh how cool!
For some odd reason I was unsubbed to your channel!!! 😯
What is UA-cam playing at!
I’m such a scaredy cat to do this but maybe I’ll get an extra copy to practice on and yes I love the Crystal Visions Tarot it was the first deck I really felt drawn too and where I feel my tarot abilities kicked in! 😅
Be brave, you'll be glad you did ;0)
@@the_hermits_cave Ok now I have too!😅🔥
@@thetarotmagician 🤣
Just now I realized I was unsubscribed from your channel. I didn't unsub you! But I'm back now.
Don’t worry, UA-cam does that sometimes, for some odd reason!
where can i find those two equipments?
If you're in the US I got that exact trimmer at JoAnns fabrics, and that same corner rounder off Amazon. I have not been brave enough to use either yet, lol.
@@tarottarantulas its really a big decision to do it i guess, but i need to be able to not do it out of choice! haha
