A huge thank you for sharing your process. Like others, you have inspired me and helped me get started with designing my own deck. I have tinkered with the idea of how to create my own cards now for years. Fear has been my biggest obstacle, along with the cost. I've had to reinvent myself in the past few years, including going through a career change, relocating, losing a child, and going through drastic life changes. Your passion, creativity, and practical steps in how to do this encouraged me to start my card project today with confidence. You are a guiding light to us.
Aww that's the sweetest compliment, Rose. Thank you and I'm happy to inspire your deck creation journey. In terms of cost, you shouldn't have to put out that much...there are plenty of print-on-demand companies so you don't have to purchase all the decks and then sell them. You can also do a pre-order so you only purchase what is already sold. Best of luck to you!
This was the most helpful and best explained instructional on doing this I’ve found. You’re an incredible teacher. Thank you so much!!!!
Aww thanks! I'm so glad you found it helpful!
I created my oracle deck now to make them . Printing them from companies are so expensive omg .
40 to 50 decks😱💟...i am amazed n love this explanation❤❤❤
Thanks so much!! Thank you for visiting!
Thank you for the advice
Thank you for sharing your process! Your video helped and inspired me so much! The decks you create are beautiful! Your passion really shines through in this video :)
Thanks a bunch Rachel! I'm glad the video was helpful.
Love this idea you are oh so clever my dear. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
Glad you like! Thanks for visiting
Thank you so much for sharing! This has helped me tremendously!
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
Thank you so much, Kristen for this video.
I just got your 120 questions deck and can't wait to print it on colored paper!! ❤💛💙💚💜
You're very welcome, Lennan. Thank you for your purchase. I hope you enjoy the deck!
Wow! You are so creative and talented 🌺 Thank you for sharing this.
Aww thanks Vanessa...these are easier to do than you might think. I'm glad you enjoyed watchin.
Thank you for sharing. I have all of these supplies just laying around and had been wanting to create some affirmation cards, coming across your video was confirmation to do it.
Yay for confirmation. It's time to create those cards. Thanks for visiting!
I would love to sit and look through all these beautiful decks you've made. They look awesome! I've made a few oracles already (I took the construction paper, glue, glitter, stickers, and old magazine route!) But I'm inspired to try some of these techniques you've mentioned.
Your work is lovely👌 thanks for sharing
Aww, you're too sweet. Thanks for visiting. Your oracles sound awesome...I love working analog too.
Thank you so much for posting this video! Thanks to you I have just finished creating a deck of my dreams! ^___^
Wonderful and congratulations! Glad to help.
I just made my own, having a dozen sets printed for Christmas gifts. It was a word only one but with fancy writing & I printed them out as 2" x 2" plastic cards. I will put them in a tiny tin. :) I'm working on my next deck and have started a combined Tarot/Oracle deck too. LOVE your ideas and your decks are all great. I need to find the box pattern, really upgrades the deck. Thanks for sharing all your ideas & techniques, really helpful hints & tools. Sending you Love, Peace & Harmony from Arizona.
Thanks so much for visiting and sharing your projects. I love the idea of tiny tin decks as gifts!! You can find my sturdy box tutorial here: czcams.com/video/H619FqvEDRY/video.html
Can you teach us how to make the boxes please?
I already have...here's my CZcams video (and I've added it to the description): czcams.com/video/H619FqvEDRY/video.html
I have double sided cards. Pics on one side and words on the other! This video has been great! Should you have to laminate if you have a matte linen 350gsm card stock?
Glad you liked the video. You don't have to laminate at all. I do it to add to the card's thickness, durability and shuffle-ability. Test it both ways with a few cards and see which you like better.
Thanks for the wonderful video! Can you tell us where you got the box for the deck that you show nearish the end? Again, thank you!
I make the boxes...the video is linked in the description. Thanks for visiting!
I love this video and your others. It's so helpful to get some hints and tricks on how to make your own oracles. I was wondering if you mind sharing the model numbers or links of the Scotch Laminator and HP DeskJet printer you own and use? Or, if you recommend other ones? Thanks in advance so much!
Thank you! You can use any HP Deskjet really. It's not the printer that makes the colors pop. It's the Neenah Bright White cardstock. Scotch changed their lamination so I now use Apache Laminating Pouches from Amazon.
@@OverTheMoonAcademy Oh thank you regarding this information. I SO appreciate it. You're so generous with the information you share. Thank you.
Would you please consider making a video about how to print double-sided and whatever application I’m not very tech oriented and I would really like to be able to do this please
Thanks for commenting but there's no way around the technology. To print double-sided, you have to know your printer and the applications you wish to use in order to create that type of deck. You can always use a print-on-demand service and have them do it for you.
Okay well thanks anyway. I watched your video a few times and saw the part where you had printed out words. I used canva as you suggested which was really helpful just not sure how it will print double sided from the template itself. thanks
I have a cricut machine it’s cuts out anything . I am going to do this . You rock thank you for this info .
That's awesome. The cricut is on my list of things to get this year!
💛💛💛💛💛
How do you make your card box? Please and thank you 😊 I am learning to make my own Oracle deck just now lol . Your a super teacher . I want to sell mine .
Thanks! I shared my box tutorial video link in your comment below "Can you teach us how to make the boxes please"
Thank you for sharing! So cool! I have a question about Printer Studio…Do you know where they print and ship from? How long does it take you to get your cards from the time you submit them? Are you happy with them? Thanks!!
Printerstudio is based in China, I believe. It takes roughly 2 weeks for me to receive my orders (I'm usually only ordering one - three decks at a time). I'm happy with the products I receive from them. However, if you're asking questions about being a deck publisher, I'm not one. If you want to publish your own deck, I suggest looking into a variety of printers and doing some research to see what will best suit your needs.
What apps or software do you suggest for graphic arts? Can you use stock photos if you intend to sell?
I would recommend working in Canva since it has so many graphic tools and the platform is pretty user-friendly. But use whatever software/apps you know. You can use royalty-free images/stock photos for commercial use...just read the terms of use to be sure of the usage guidelines.
Hello there I am attempting to print my first deck however I'm finding it difficult coming from canva to get the correct size and dimensions. It wants to print each card on a whole page and then the card is giant. If you have any advice it would be most appreciated. Thank you kindly.
Thanks for visiting! Go back to the video roughly 7:34 where I say I make the images in Canva but I pull them into Google Slides to print. I don't print from Canva. I just make the images in Canva. Hope that helps!
@@OverTheMoonAcademy Oh yes that does help tremendously thank you so much for your lovely video and prompt response. ✨️🤸🏼♀️
About much did it cost you to do it on your own
It costs me less than $10 and roughly two hours of time to make a 40 - 50 card deck I would say. But that's because I already have all the supplies and buy cardstock in packs of 200.
I paint all of my art . From water colors .
Me too how are you doing? I feel im so slow at creating i wonder if ill ever finish😅
Do you sell all the cards you make, or you go throw a company ?
I don't sell ALL the cards I make, but you can find my printed cards on Printerstudio - www.printerstudio.com/sell/otmoraclecards and printable decks on Ko-fi - ko-fi.com/overthemoonmagic/shop
