This was so helpful! I am a yoga teacher and want to make a yoga pose deck for new teachers to help them build sequences and deepened their knowledge of poses. I have also been thinking of creating an oracle deck. This really helped me to know where to look to get started. THANK YOU!
Ahhhh i love a deck that has poses on it! I’d totally buy that especially if there’s more meaning to why this pose is special and the benefits. As you start creating, let me know if I can help answer any questions you may have. It’s easier these days to create a deck but it can still be overwhelming. May your guides lead you to the most aligned opportunities as you create your decks 💜
Yes 🤗 I love the pouch design!! Mainly because growing up, my Aunts kept theirs wrapped up in black or purple scarves. And I think it's easier to carry along. I keep a deck in my purse lol Best of luck with your ventures 💜🙏🧿✨
This was so well put-together: crystal clear and incredibly informative! It's obvious you walk in the spirit of "we can all win!" and I'm here for it! SO many thanks, Empress!
This really inspired me to get back into my old plan of doing my Affim cards. I had mental blocks for some reason and my it more complicated. TY so much Sis 💕
i know it can feel like alot, but just take it one step at a time! someone (probably more ppl than you think) needs to see those cards that you're creating!
Thank you for this short but very informative information. Wow, you made this 2 years ago and today I'm here because I need information on how to design a deck. Thank you super much.
This was so helpful! I wasn't sure how relevant the content would because I'm seeing it 2 years later so I passed up your video several times, while wasting tons of time watching others that were no where near as helptul! THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Everything I needed :)
Appreciate you for the help 🙏 excited about my deck, and a lot of information and details about making a deck has taken alot of stress off of me so truly thank you prayers my decks are 💯 % authentic and sell like hot cakes 👍 appreciation to you.
Definitely do more research! I wanted to be as careful as possible but I believe Canva has changed their policies around when it comes to what can be used for resell
Great video I spent hrs working on these details right here and I legit didn’t even think ab red and blending 🙃thought it was a given. Glad I came across this. 😊 thank you
Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate you transparency. I've had a calling in my heart to create decks but didn't know how to get them going. This was so helpful. Blessings upon blessing to you
yesss, answer the call! I know it can feel overwhelming but just do one thing everyday, and before you know it, it'll be done! I thought my procrastination would get in the way but that nudge from spirit was soooo strong, I couldn't ignore.
I just came across your page yesterday and Im so happy you made this video because it definitely helped me in my new project. I would love it if you did an updated video of any new information you found or other tips for making an oracle or tarot deck.
YAAAY for your new project! Super excited that this was helpful too. I'm WAY overdue for an update though lol let me see what I can put together in the next week 🙈
This is excellent advice/information. I really appreciate your help. I've also been pondering on the process of getting a booklet printed too but I guess that challenge can wait for the time being! I see you have other interesting videos so I've subbed. Thank you!
Yeaaa the booklet definitely would take more time but if you feel called to do it, DO IT! you can also choose to create a digital booklet that goes with the deck to eliminate more paper printing
hey there I don't see the affiliate link, I want to make sure you get your credit. also this was extremely helpful I appreciate you for doing this.. you have such a warm spirit
Echoing much of what has been said here, creating my own deck is on my list of things I'd love to do, I did start on my own artwork and have been looking for just what you shared... totally appreciate this episode and detail explanation. Thank you ☺
Sooo helpful and exactly what I needed, thank you so much for the break down. You came to mind to ask for info and then you popped up on reqs, thank you spiriiit! (:
So i use squarespace for my website & I self-managed my shipping mostly because it was easier. I know some folks use a 3rd party or shopify but my orders were small enough for me to manage.
good question, I used 21pt with a Kage Black font for the basic cards. I suppose you could go as small as 14 but wouldn't suggest lower than that. You could print it out on regular paper to see how it works!
Hello! I have created my cards and I Am planning to use my own photography as my image...did you copyright your work if so did you copyright it as you would a book??
that's how MakePlaying Cards (the company) works! I selected custom design and then uploaded the set that I wanted to print. For the customizable name decks, I had to upload a new set for each name.
Hiiii, I do sell them on my website and order them in bulk! I currently only package in a red burlap gift bag but hoping I'll be able to do a deck box in the near future.
Sure! Since I already shipped items for my Etsy shop, I had a lot of supplies already! I'd say I spent $250 (red bags for the deck, thank you cards, 2 trial decks, candy freebies). I used USPS small mailing boxes which you don't pay for until you ship. This meant that I could make shipping a flat rate for customers. I already had tissue paper but had I bought some new kind, that would've roughly been $20-$40. Also, I already had a shipping label maker (you don't need one but I hate writing addresses repeatedly, you can also prepay and print at USPS). I did pre-orders but had I bought some decks in bulk that would've been more money towards that initial cost.
Thanks so much for this! one question when you say "make it your own" does that mean you can use graphics on Canva to print as long as you "alter" it to make it your own ie change the color, add elements etc.?
It's not very ethical but there are certain card printers that will print copyrighted material, I wouldn't recommend fucking with that unless you don't plan on selling it though lmfao.
Just quick question guys.. I've wanted to make a few of my own oracle decks lately (This Video has much highly help- Thank You SO MUCH darlin) but I wanted to put image's with mine of the basic over all feeling and theme of each card, where could I find Images that I could use without a copyright on them or that I am able to use for free???
Hi!!! I apologize for not responding sooner, I've been trying to catch up on work. If you have a Canva account, they do have a clause where you're able to use their images for free. You can also google "copyright free images". AND you can use picmonkey, unsplash, and shutterstock! You can also commission digital artists for images using Fiverr or Upwork! Let me know if I can answer any more questions :) and congrats on your oracle deck project 🥳
Absolutely! I sell the decks on my website and have been selling since I made this video. It was 1000% worthi it and I'm ready to design a new deck and do it again lol
Someone else asked this and here's what I totaled: Since I already shipped items for my Etsy shop, I had a lot of supplies already!

6:06 The Rider-Waite deck is 7cm x 12cm. I'm not sure if that was Waite's idea or if the older French cards were already that format.
Thank you for this short but very informative information. Wow, you made this 2 years ago and today I'm here because I need information on how to design a deck. Thank you super much.

I have procreate . I sketch then trace but coloring has been an issue for me 🤪 but want to make an affirmation deck
aha! see that was my issue too with procreate, mostly because I didn't have an iPad! You should totally do the deck though!
Thank you Goddess for sharing 💃🏽

I can’t believe it’s been 4 mos since I read these comments 🤦🏾♀️ anyway, how is your deck coming along?
@@inktoprosperity 🤗 I'm back to the drawing board... rethinking my theme. how frustrating.
Thank you very much for making this video!
of course! I'm thinking about making an updated video, any questions/topics that you think I should cover?
thank you for posting this was really helpful :)

wooo, i love to hear it!
Thank You. I swear you are giving me my little sister vibes! Ya'll even look alike.
LOL they say everybody has a twin somewhere!
TY 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
thanks for sharing
when you are describing the dimentions of 3,5 and 5 . is it in inches?
YES! Probably should have clarified that 😬
What of my biggest issues with newer decks is they are really thick and my hands can't shuffle them!
omggggg same same same same!
Love your channel. New sub!!
ahhhhh thank you!!! hope you have a beautiful week :)
This was awesome! Do you have to manage shipping them to everyone or do you also use Etsy, Shopify or Amazon?
So i use squarespace for my website & I self-managed my shipping mostly because it was easier. I know some folks use a 3rd party or shopify but my orders were small enough for me to manage.
I am slowly trying. Looking for steps
Hey sis!!! What manufacturer has the two piece boxes? I’ve searched everywhere for a company that does those.
makeplayingcards.com and printninja.com are the ones I've looked into! There may be more too, you could also check Etsy for solo designers!
This is so helpful. I do have question - What size font do you use in Canva to make sure it readable if you are adding pictures?
good question, I used 21pt with a Kage Black font for the basic cards. I suppose you could go as small as 14 but wouldn't suggest lower than that. You could print it out on regular paper to see how it works!
@@inktoprosperity Thank you for responding back. I will definitely print it out, to see what works for me.
Hello! I have created my cards and I Am planning to use my own photography as my image...did you copyright your work if so did you copyright it as you would a book??
absolutely copyright your work! It's a process but totally worth it
How did you get the company to design each card with a different text image?
that's how MakePlaying Cards (the company) works! I selected custom design and then uploaded the set that I wanted to print. For the customizable name decks, I had to upload a new set for each name.
Hi love, I have a question. How did you package them to sell? Do you order your cards from make playing cards in bulk? Thank you in advance ❤
Hiiii, I do sell them on my website and order them in bulk! I currently only package in a red burlap gift bag but hoping I'll be able to do a deck box in the near future.
enjoyed your vlog...how many cards do you make for a standard deck?
It really depends! My deck was 54 cards including the instruction/about me cards.
But for regular playing cards, it’s 52. For tarot decks is 78.
Your cards are beautiful, great job! Thanks for the video it helps alot 🥰
Thank you love!
Loved this video and it was super helpful. I wanted to ask (if it's alright), what did you personal deck end up costing you all together.
Sure! Since I already shipped items for my Etsy shop, I had a lot of supplies already!
I'd say I spent $250 (red bags for the deck, thank you cards, 2 trial decks, candy freebies). I used USPS small mailing boxes which you don't pay for until you ship. This meant that I could make shipping a flat rate for customers. I already had tissue paper but had I bought some new kind, that would've roughly been $20-$40. Also, I already had a shipping label maker (you don't need one but I hate writing addresses repeatedly, you can also prepay and print at USPS). I did pre-orders but had I bought some decks in bulk that would've been more money towards that initial cost.
How much all together did you spend
For shipping etc ?
Shipping out to customers? or for supplies/cards?
Thanks so much for this! one question when you say "make it your own" does that mean you can use graphics on Canva to print as long as you "alter" it to make it your own ie change the color, add elements etc.?
Yes!
It's not very ethical but there are certain card printers that will print copyrighted material, I wouldn't recommend fucking with that unless you don't plan on selling it though lmfao.

Marketing and selling ideas? Thanks.
i have SO many! Should I do a video on this?
@@inktoprosperity Without question! And it will be blessed.
I’m curious if you were able to sell these and if you have felt it was worth it?
Absolutely! I sell the decks on my website and have been selling since I made this video. It was 1000% worthi it and I'm ready to design a new deck and do it again lol
@@inktoprosperity that’s awesome !!!
Hey, do you need to copyright affirmation cards?
do whatever you need to protect your brand!
Print ninja also requires you to purchase a minimum of 500, which might seem like a lot, but the cost per deck is a lot cheaper
YES! That was another reason I didn't go the PN route. I knew I didn't have the capacity or funds to do 500 orders. But maybe someday in the future.
Where can we purchase theses at..
I'll be opening orders in a few weeks :) Limited supply but if you sign up for my newsletter, you'll get the notification!
@@inktoprosperity okay thanks
You're so cute.
How much was it to do your own cars I'm trying to do my own and where would I call
Someone else asked this and here's what I totaled:
Since I already shipped items for my Etsy shop, I had a lot of supplies already!
I'd say I spent $250 (red bags for the deck, thank you cards, 2 trial decks, candy freebies). I used USPS small mailing boxes which you don't pay for until you ship.
