Omg Kim. You are so funny and my YT BFF. 🐼. Do you have a Kickstarter video too? I'm beginning my journey making my oracle deck. Your CMYK was an eye opener! I'm not sure how to check that in canva, but I will research more!
Kim, thank you so much for these tips! I had no idea about CYMK. Even though making a deck is so far away (I don't know if I will ever do it + I have no art skills), it's still a secret dream of mine so more content like this will be much appreciated. Subbed btw!!!
@@FablesDen I have NO idea right now hahaha I wanted to make a Talisman Tarot but I'm still not great with talismans and I don't know if I could create 78 variations!
I hear you sister! The perfectionism, the burn outs and self-scrutiny, followed by long periods of ill health... Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, yada yada ... Thank you so much for your wise words. Melanie. Xox Oh! Do you have any Gemini in you by any chance? I’m Cancer within Gemini rising btw. 😊🌈🧚♀️🌻
Thank you so much for this, especially the last note. I just did a pre-launch for my tarot deck on Kickstarter and it goes live late July but I’m so scared 😖. I have to believe in this though and in myself, so thank you 💙
I love your deck, Kim! Thanks for all you did to bring it to the world. Would love to see more decks from you! I’m interested in hearing about how the collaboration process went with the artist. I’m interested in doing something similar. 🤩
EEEEeeee. As someone who used to sometimes have to create print items for a job, when you started talking about RGB/CMYK I was like "oh no... oh no..." I saw that train wreck coming lol. So sorry you didn't know about that upfront! The shipping and business part is what's terrifying for me about a Kickstarter campaign...
It was a train wreck indeed!! 🤣🤣 But it wasn't that bad considering all the original paintings were handpainted watercolor...so all the colors "existed" in print and there wasn't much adjustment needed save for a few haha
I've seen your deck around different tarot groups. Would love to see more videos on this topic in general. I have a deck that I started and never finished because of my lack of knowing where to begin and the sheer overwhelm.
@@FablesDen and i have this specific silly idea based on my characters and their, for instance, i love pickles and in my reads i am the queen of swords, so in my deck, it's the suit of pickles and i just can about see some of the pickle cards (like the 8 and 10 being stuck in a jar and the jar overflowing - releasing) xD lol thank you for this video, again and yes keep doing these!!
I'm about to make a similar video, because my first indiegogo failed - that being said, my deck has been on the market for over 3 years. I hate to say "it failed" but it did, and a failure like that just taught a lot for me. I intend on talking about my plans to change the next round as I know kind of what went wrong with it - at least for the biggest issue, which was reach. Oh dear goddess it was only seen about 400 times which is nowhere near 1000 backers, I only had 6 backers LOL 😂😂😂
What is your deck? It'll be super awesome to hear about your experience!! 💖 Yeah crowdfunding takes dedication...I remember a friend of mine was like, why are you so stressed? You just publish it and backers would fall from the sky right??" I was like UMMMM NOOOOOO 😂😂😂
Is crowdfunding the only way to create a tarot deck? You know how teespring allows you to sell tshirts without having to package and send, is there a way to do that for tarot cards, or do you have to paackage and send to customers?
You can totally sell your deck on Gamecrafters, Playing Cards.ca and some other print on demand card printing sites! I prefer crowdfunding just because those sites don't really offer a lot of quality in terms of cardstock and boxes.
I want to self-publish my novel and my tarot-style illustrated art cards as companion piece. Which POD book publishers also do packaging and printing for cards well? Does anyone know? Thanks in advance for any replies.
I hate the cmyk thing 💀 my artwork is digital and very neon, when I convert it to cmyk everything is so pale and dull it’s really a drastic change, idk what to do😭 which is weird because for example I got samples from society6 every file I upload to their page is Rgb and literally and result of the print it’s pretty bright and accurate to my original artworks so idk why china can’t just do the same thing 😩
Let me know if you want me to make a video on a specific topic on deck creation / deck publishing / production - comment below!!
Yes please!
Yes
Yes!! I would love to make a video!! I have my website and I am on instagram. The video is definitely the missing link!! Thank you so much!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING ALSO YOUR TAROT DECK IS SO SO SO CUTE ! ! ! ! !
Thanks! Lots of good advice. I am making my own deck right now. I am about 1/3 way through my artwork
Wahooo! Congrats to you, doing your own art work sounds super difficult but really rewarding!

Ahhh how exciting! You can always collaborate with an artist 🥰😍😍😍 What deck would you create??

Definitely good advice! Especially health and disengaging to relax.
Definitely a new subscriber.

I am totally working on more decks! 😋😋 And noted! Will definitely cook up an artist collaboration video down the road 💕💕💕
Fables Den a.k.a. Kimberly Tsan yay 😀
Thanks for this video, Kim. 💕
Anytime!! 💖
Thanks for this great video!
Do you have some examples of how to write the kickstarter sell page, and what good pictures look like ?
Who did you print with! I need help finding the right printer and your deck and packaging look amazing!

THANKYOU! Very helpful. Can I ask who you got to print your deck? Choosing a printer has been OVERWHELMING!
I print with WJPC! I printed all 5 of my decks with them and I'm never disappointed :)
CMYK, question about that... I created my images on canva and did PNG, thoughts on this? I'm not familiar with knowing where to control this in canva?
Can you make a video on how to make your deck on photoshop or what software do you use, if you can't draw but have ideas??
i waited for a response also
Subbed and thank you for this and the list of ressources - i am considering creating my own deck and this is hugely insightful :D
Ahhh do it!!!! Deck creation is so fun 💖💖💖😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Great info, how can I contact your printer contact? Do you have an affiliate link?
Is someone screaming in the background of your video?
