I felt the same way Georgina. I was actually turned off this deck until I saw (I think it was Katey Flowers) it trimmed. I don't usually trim a deck before at least attempting to work with it in it's original state, but this one I just knew wasn't going to work for me with those borders.
Wow! That deck looks 1000 times better. I love your arts and crafts you do with Tarot. Super awesome. I’m definitely not an arts and crafts kinda guy, but you give some really fantastic tips and tricks. I love your thought process behind things and how you organize and lay your work out. Super rad 👊🏼
Thanks so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it. I was the kid who used to color over my books and cut them up and make new things with them, so I guess doing it with my decks is a natural evolution hehe. 😊
I love purple, but I definitely agree that those borders did not match the color palette of the deck. I never even thought of trimming decks as an option - thanks for opening up my imagination!!!
This tutorial is great! What a difference it makes using your methods. I will never trim a deck again with scissors. Thank you so much for sharing your tips!
I am so glad you enjoyed it. I actually need to update this video because now I use an even more precise method with a ruler and my trimmer. If you check out any of my recent Mod with Me video you'll see that method. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
You hit ALL the right points as to why we trim decks! Truth, I only have trimmed ONE deck....lol! I love watching others trim their decks. 😃 I use scissors because I tend to skew cards using a slide or guillotine trimmer. LOVE my Kodamaru Pro!! I think most of use that one.
The Jolanda really looks great without the borders and the size makes it perfect for taking along and for bigger spreads. Maybe I should trim mine too - but first the Star Tarot, I finally decided that the borders have to go after using it for months. And I love the square Sacred Traveller!!! Thanks for sharing ;-)
I adore the Jolanda trimmed, it changes the entire energy of the deck. I just trimmed my Star Tarot yesterday, should have a video out shortly on that one. I just couldn't take the borders anymore. :)
You are so brave! I won’t even buy a deck if it has something like those blunt corners because I couldn’t cut my cards but you have opened my eyes to a cool project if I really love a deck. Thank you 😊 Awesome job!
Trimming my decks never occurred to me until I found your awesome videos. You have opened up a whole new experience for me. Thank you so much! I bought a beautiful Russian deck about a year ago, however the borders of it were in Russian and very distracting so I trimmed them and what a difference. I agree that it really gives a whole new connection to them that is awesome. Now I’m working on others and I love it. Thank you again. Also I love your other videos and can’t wait to make a junk journal.
Ooh love the sacred travelers oracle trimmed to square!!! 😲💗 I prefer the guillotine style as well. I trimmed so many decks a few years ago but don’t do it as much. But when I do, I have to break it up in batches otherwise it gets torturous. Great tutorial! You are a natural teacher.
Thank you so much Meadowlark Mystic, I really enjoy sharing what I have learned. The Sacred Traveler is one of my favorites now, it really beautifully both intuitively and directionally now.
Thank you for this well done video. I am going to do it with my Copy if the Jolanda Tarot! Then edging it ! That’s a good way to bond with a deck ! LOL Beautiful deck ! I love the results !
@@anushkasaxena3465 aw I'm sorry to hear that, I've ruined a deck or two in my day too. I'm glad you've got the hang of it now tho, it's so much fun to trim a deck down and give it new life. 😊
ur videos r really very great pronunciation n flow of speaking is very good since two three days m keep on watching ur videos on tarot collections n now trimmig video mk my heart overwhelmed but the equipments u r using r very costly dear i l go to photostudio there i tk the machine n from stationary shop i l buy the corner cutter.
Boho Tarot Oh my goodness, thank you! I’ve spent the past few days watching so many of your videos, my Watch Later list is full of even more. Officially obsessed ☺️❤️
@@ImogenWalters you are so sweet! That is too funny because I have a playlist called "Imogen" (does that sound weird and stalkery? Lol) I really enjoyed your 30 days challenge, it was very inspiring! ❤️
Great tutorial! I have the slider cutter and I use scissors to finish up. I also have the Aiom corner rounder and used it twice and then it didn't work after that. I got a replacement which didn't work at all. I need a corner rounder now. Love the finished product and can't wait to see it edged.
Thank you Carm Men! I love the sunstar kadomaru pro corner cutter, in my opinion it's the best one out there. Do you ever have any trouble with your slider cutter? I really love the guide on those, but I can never get mine to cut very well.
Your videos are great! You should have Amazon links to the products in your videos that way we can find them easier and you can get some kick backs from our purchases😊
@@DawnMichelleTarot yes look into😉 I did order the closest to what i could find on Amazon for trimming my decks today and found the corner rounder pro on there for around $10. I have not modified a deck before so🤞
If you pop over to my newer deck modification tutorials playlist you'll find an entire video dedicated to the tools I use and there should be links in the description box of that video. :)
I agree, it really changes the whole energy of this deck. It's not one I probably would have been called to work with much had I left those borders on. :)
Very nice work. Are you able to share a link to the Fiskars guillotine paper cutter you use? Also, I would love to see how the re-backing of the Tarot of Transformation turns out.
I think I used the old small one in this video, but the new trimmer I use (it's a bit bigger and sturdier) is the Fiskars 9 Inch Bypass Paper Trimmer (amzn.to/2LksQdJ) I haven't rebacked the Tarot of Transformation yet, but I will make a video of it when I do. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Altvox. I don't see a model number on my cutter, but its the smaller 4 inch one. For the most part it's a great size for decks, there have only been a couple of really large decks that it's been a bit more of a challenge with.
Generally I can tell what card it is by looking at the imagery, especially with my RWS inspired decks. I think it just comes with knowing the tarot really well. I hope that helps! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
I am catching up on all of your videos, ha, love them! :) I have been thinking about buying a trimmer. This one is available online where I live but I am wondering: say I would like to trim 7 mm (1/4 inch) edges off of my cards, rather than eyeballing where I need to cut, would that be possible with this one? I am asking because one of my decks has borders with irregular, wonky dropshadows on them (horrible, I know!) which would make it hard to trim.
Very good tutorial! I never would have considered buying this deck before seeing it freed from its lavender prison. It looks lovely now. 🥰
I felt the same way Georgina. I was actually turned off this deck until I saw (I think it was Katey Flowers) it trimmed. I don't usually trim a deck before at least attempting to work with it in it's original state, but this one I just knew wasn't going to work for me with those borders.
Lavender prison LOL well said 🤭
I didn't know what you were talking about until she showed the deck in question. I was like, "Damn! That IS a prison!" Lol
Wow! That deck looks 1000 times better.
I love your arts and crafts you do with Tarot. Super awesome. I’m definitely not an arts and crafts kinda guy, but you give some really fantastic tips and tricks. I love your thought process behind things and how you organize and lay your work out. Super rad 👊🏼

the result looks so much better :)
I think so too. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
@DawnMichelleTarot YAY!! I found your modification playlist!! Thank you sooo much!! These videos are wonderful and inspiring! 💜
I am so glad you’ve found them helpful! 🥰
I love purple, but I definitely agree that those borders did not match the color palette of the deck. I never even thought of trimming decks as an option - thanks for opening up my imagination!!!
They've actually kinda grown on me but I may still trim them at some point! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
This tutorial is great! What a difference it makes using your methods. I will never trim a deck again with scissors. Thank you so much for sharing your tips!

Thank you 🇬🇧
What a difference trimming made for the Jolanda Tarot!!! Wow!
It really does, like a whole new deck!
You hit ALL the right points as to why we trim decks! Truth, I only have trimmed ONE deck....lol! I love watching others trim their decks. 😃 I use scissors because I tend to skew cards using a slide or guillotine trimmer. LOVE my Kodamaru Pro!! I think most of use that one.
I'm the opposite, my scissors tend to get away from me and that's how I end up with wonky cards lol. I'm with you, I love watching trim videos!
Boho Tarot k

It looks so much better, the artwork is visible now,
I love that about trimming decks, it usually really frees the artwork. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
You are so brave! I won’t even buy a deck if it has something like those blunt corners because I couldn’t cut my cards but you have opened my eyes to a cool project if I really love a deck. Thank you 😊 Awesome job!
It's such a fun way to connect with a deck and make it your own. I love the process. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

I am so glad to hear that! I love modifying my decks, it such a wonderful experience. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
Thank you, I’ve finally done it, I’ve ordered a guillotine trimmer. I’m going to try it on my Mary-El deck!
Ooh how exciting!! I love my Mary-El trimmed. Are you taking it down to just the artwork or keep titles?
Just love your mod videos. :) I love my paper cutter and rounded edger. Thanks for showing us your creativity!!
Aw, thank you so much, I love mine too! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
Very well explained tutorial! Thank you! 🙂 I have the same corner rounder and it works great.
Thank you Olga!

You have the best quality Tarot modification videos and I love them, but damn I cannot get over how you pronounce guillotine. 😂😭♥️🙏🏻
Thank you, I work very hard to create a quality video for everyone. Do I pronounce it weird or wrong? Totally possible! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
Thank you for this well done video. I am going to do it with my Copy if the Jolanda Tarot!
Then edging it ! That’s a good way to bond with a deck ! LOL
Beautiful deck ! I love the results !
Thank you so much, I love spending that kind of time with my decks. Sort-of wish all of them needed to be trimmed. :)
Omg!! I've been looking for the jolanda ❤❤❤ wish i had that deck looks great nice work 👍☺
It's a difficult one to get hold of for sure! It tools me months to track one down, finally came across it one eBay. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
So nice! I love it... watched it with a big pleasure...🤍❤️
great work done
i cried wen i trim down my very first deck now i knew how to trim it down n its corner thanks yar.
Thank you!

@@amberrae3818 I will indeed, it's a great idea to help support my channel. 😊

Hi. Thank you for video. Can you give the links for those corner trimmers and the guillotine please.
If you pop over to my newer deck modification tutorials playlist you'll find an entire video dedicated to the tools I use and there should be links in the description box of that video. :)
What a transformation ♌🏵️♌👌
I agree, it really changes the whole energy of this deck. It's not one I probably would have been called to work with much had I left those borders on. :)
What a difference!!!
It is a huge transformation! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

Oh wow this border is something else 😬 good thing you can trim it off!
Thanks for showing us the details of your technique. What is the model number of the Fiskars cutter you like best?
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Altvox. I don't see a model number on my cutter, but its the smaller 4 inch one. For the most part it's a great size for decks, there have only been a couple of really large decks that it's been a bit more of a challenge with.
Can you please share the name of the deck on the far left (with the crone womxn) at 0:13???
That is from the Druidcraft Tarot. My copy is trimmed down to just the artwork. I hope that helps! Thank you for watching.
Thank you!!! 💜
How can you remember which card is which meaning?
Generally I can tell what card it is by looking at the imagery, especially with my RWS inspired decks. I think it just comes with knowing the tarot really well. I hope that helps! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
Where did you get the small guillotine paper trimmer from?
It bought mine off amazon, there should be a link in the description box of the video. :)
can you tell me the name of that deck at the beginning of the video that’s the yellow one of the hand holding the pentacle 0:13
That one is the Llewellyn Tarot. It's been trimmed down to just the artwork. My favorite deck of all. I hope that helps! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
@@DawnMichelleTarot yay thank you
Thank you for a lovely video! At 0:08 you start off with a bunch of decks, Could you tell me from what deck the ace of pentacles is from?
And also at 0:26 what deck is the one second from the left? 😊🌻
The Ace of Pentacles is from the Llewellyn Tarot, my favorite deck. 🙂 I am so glad you enjoyed the video! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
@@SandiSandiASMR the second deck from the left at that timestamp is Tarot of the Spirit. Hope that helps! 🙂
@@DawnMichelleTarot thank you! 😊
Also, it's so weird seeing you mot using measurements and not cutting one side off first 😂😂 I'm so used to the new method haha
Oh I know, I need to make an update video and probably delete this one! 😄
What was the name of the pink corner cutter?
I don't think I have a pink one anymore. I use the Sunstar Kadomaru Pro now. I hope that helps! 🙂
