This came out so good!! 💚
I did remove the silver gilding as soon as I got this deck and I am so glad I did!! I haven't been courageous enough yet to the ink part... Still resisting this! lol.
What an intensive labor of love, but it sure is BEAUTIFUL❣️❣️❣️
That it is, but I really enjoy the process. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I did this same thing with my Fountain Tarot! I adoooore it trimmed sans silver guilding and borders and re-edged in a complimentary matte peach! Its quickly become my soul deck - amazing how much of a connection you can create with deck modding!
This mod looks fab! Thanks for sharing
Ooh I bet that's a beautiful mod! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I also don't like this cheap gilding. It wears the cards down so much quicker and hurts the hands. Maybe I can do this with my Mystic Mondays Tarot deck, because I love the minimalistic coloring on it, but that gilding is the worst ever! It arrived chipped, and after just two shuffles, several of the faces were scraped up. 🥺
I've had my eyes on this deck for so long. Each image really triggers my intuition, and it's all so magical! 😍😍😍
-- Oo! Ostara!! I want that deck, too! Before I was aware of this community, I was very active in the art community, and I followed several of those artists. Seeing them put together a tarot deck was the most surreal cross over of worlds, and I love it! A few of the cards I'm not big on, but overall, it's such a unique beauty. You've done an amazing job on those edges ♡♡♡
Totally give it a try, it makes such a difference for me. I find that if I leave that cheap gilding on a deck I won't end up working with it all. Plus, modding a deck makes it really feel like my deck. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
@@DawnMichelleTarot I just dipped into my budget and bought the tools you recommend 😅 I'm a little scared of creating imperfections, but I have nothing to lose because, as you've mentioned for yourself, I've really stopped touching those with gilding. Not sure if I'll edge because I don't want to get colors all over my hands, but I don't mind the understated cardboard sideview. Thank you for giving me the courage 💞
You do such a beautiful job trimming, I love the end results. That said I don't mind gilding it doesn't bother me at all and occassionally I think it is a real feature (hello matte gold and holographic black).
Oh I agree, sometimes it really does finish up a deck beautifully. I have several indie decks that I've left the gilding on because it's high quality and just works well with the deck. Just seem to be the mass market gilding I don't like most of the time hehe. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
❤️your mod videos! some of my fav! 💖
I am so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
It turned out beautifully! And love the Ostara deck. Someday I’ll try this when I get around to buying all the tools and inks. I really admire people who do crafty artsy things, but all the stuff to acquire feels like a rabbit hole I’ll not sure I’m ready for. Tarot itself has been bad enough or that. ;)
Hehe that is very true. I have actually found that I actually don't buy mod supplies unless I have a specific project in mind so my stash has grown pretty organically over the years. Now journaling supplies and tarot decks... That's where I dive deep into the rabbit hole. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
It depends on the quality of the gilding, some gilding really annoys me and I've been wishing it wasn't there, this is a brilliant idea. Also I love what you did with the chalk inks and the effect you created.
Another AMAZING show of style, skill, and patience! I'm worn out just from the video! And doing another deck in between?! 👏👏👏 I dub thee Master of Mod!!!
Hehe thank you! It's a lot t of work but I really enjoy the process. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Yep! I haven’t bought this one yet. I think if it comes out in a linen cardstock...I’ll go for it. I just don’t like high gloss. You are right about that silver gilding.
The gloss is not my favorite either for sure, but its better now without the gilding. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Absolutely love your deck mods!
I am so glad you enjoyed them! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
big cards, gilding, and glossiness are things I don’t like either. I wanted to cry when I got the deck. How does any deck creator not find those things annoying? I will never understand. 3 annoyances in 1 deck sheeeeeesh 😂😭
I totally agree, however I think in the case of the mass produced stuff the deck creator/artist probably doesn't have much say. I'm guess they just go with what's cheapest at the time of production. Such a shame though, I wish it would have looked like the oracle. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I told myself I wasn't going to mod my TOMM but now I'm REALLY thinking about it because the finished effect is so pretty, and you're right - you didn't lose really any noticeable part of the artwork and i love the softer feel of non-metallic cards... erghhhhhh now I have to find out if my dog has fully recovered from her (hopefully temporary) fear of the sound of my paper cutter.... :-|
I love it! It made it feel so much softer and has such a better feel in my hand now. I'd recommend it! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Ohh the edges match the back so beautifully now!! I've been meaning to buy this deck but for some reason it's been super expensive here in Spain ☹️ Thanks for sharing!
I've heard it's been hard to get ahold of in other countries, I think ilit was mentioned that is was something to do with covid. So hopefully that won't always be the case! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I got such a bad cut from mine! I actually put band aids on before using certain deck because of how bad they get. Little painful fu**ers! I haven’t finished the video yet but I am just thinking of how nice the size will be also! They are slippery & I would have more control if it were smaller…I had picked them from the ground so many times the first couple uses…
I got a big ass paper cutter (my husband lol) it came and I never used it because it was crooked! Like the guard at top of it that can’t be moved. It’s a scary one anyways…I’m glad to see the smaller one works well enough to just cut through cards. That’s all I need!
I hate it when that happens! I've had some gilded decks bang up my hands pretty bad too. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Love this, I trimmed the gilding off my Spirit Cards in a similar way and I really liked it more than trying to sand it off. I haven’t tried the chalk ink pads before, I need to try that out! I am also not a fan of bright gilding and the cheaper variations in particular!
I wish they'd just leave the cards naked so we could choose what color we want on them. 🙂 The chalk ink covers beautifully but it does have a bit of a texture or "chalky" feel to it. But I find if I just run a light coat on any other stamp over it, it takes it away. It might eventually wear off too, but I can never seem to wait long enough to find out! I just bought a handful of tombows to try on my decks next after watching your Priestess deck walkthrough and mod at the end. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
When you dab on the distress ink, It's like putting make-up, blusher, but on the cards :D
Lol yep, making it all pretty! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
The edging is gorgeous, Dawn! Perfect color! The silver gilding on my Tarot of Mystical Moment’s also chipping off a bit, but I’m not gutsy enough to mod my deck yet. 🥲
I am so glad you enjoyed it. I really like it much better without the gilding. Still wish it wasn't glossy, but I can deal with that. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Honestly, I have only a handful of decks in which the gilding adds to the ascetics of the cards. Mostly it's just there....flaking, ruffing up my hands and not adding any pleasure to the use of the deck. I really wonder if mass market companies have people who follow you tube and IG for comments about their decks. I think we've all made it clear how we feel about the icky, cheap gilding, especially gold which I'm so tired of. I've never trimmed a deck to specifically remove gilding, but I think it's a great idea! Love the new edges on Ostara!
Same here! Maybe they have an old school focus group they still use from back when gilding was a new thing lol. I wish they'd just leave them naked and then I could do what I want with it. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Interesting. I wondered what the process was to take borders off and do edging. Cool.
It's pretty much like trimming borders off a deck, I just take the least amount off as possible. Just enough to remove that gilding. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
@@DawnMichelleTarot you did a good job. If I tried that I would wreck them
I sanded down my Shadowland Tarot and it worked well. I don't have health problems doing so, and there wasn't too much mess, so it was great. That card stock is good but not sure if that method would work with thinner card stock.
The Ostara turned out to be great! I'll be doing that too and the color matches are great, I'll try to get those too! Thank you!
Good to know! I'm just more confident with a trimmer but I do get asked about it so I might try my hand at it sometime. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Loved this video! My ostara seems to have been cut in two different batches, so the size varies and it's impossible to shuffle it. I think I'll degild it as you did, because I love riffle shuffling.
That will definitely help and then you can cut them to all the same size. I hope you enjoy the process as much as I did. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
While the gilding can look nice, it can feel sharp to me as well.
Same here, most of the time it hurts my hands. There is only a few decks in my collection that have really good gilding that doesn't bother me.
🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Bonjour Michelle, j'adore comment vous avez refait le tarot et c'est aussi une très bonne idée pour le Tarot ostara que je possède également, je ne sais pas pourquoi tous les éditeurs de jeux mettent du brillant sur les bords des cartes? (doré, argent, métallique..) Merci beaucoup pour la vidéo 🙏
I don't why they keep doing that either. I wish they would stop so I can just pick whatever color I want for the edges. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
@@DawnMichelleTarot Peut être en limant légèrement les bords?, Je pense essayer ssur un vieux jeu
I just ordered mine mystical moment tarot, I'm excited. I understand the disapointment on glossy card stock, that how I feel with the heaven and earth tarot, on reviews that I watch I expected it to be matt but it come in high gloss card stock which turn me off, which is a shame since the images was gorgeous. Wonder if there are way to make it matt
I think some people have experimented with spray sealants to try and make a card matte, but I'm not sure how it turned out and I haven't been brave enough to try it myself. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
I love these decks, but I didn't even think of de guilting it. I love the guilt , I think it is beautiful, my only problem with it is that it make shuffling a little harder at the beginning...
Mine was a bit hard to shuffle at first too, I think sometimes they are kind stiff when they are new. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I hate metallic gilding, and it irks me when people ask for it all the time because then I’m usually stuck with it. I haven’t modded any decks yet, so usually I just deal with it and hope it wears away.
I feel the same, I'd rather they just leave them plain so I can do what I want with it. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I'm inspired! I love this deck, but the card stock is killing me. It looks like removing the silver helped. Do you know of a way to make it less shiny?
I haven't found a way to fix glossy yet. Hmm... Maybe I should do a video and see if I can find anything that would work. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
This deck has been out of stock with U.S. Games for a while now, I hope it's coming back! If so, I'll take the gilding off too, because it's sharp and unpleasant.
I heard that too, I think it sold out and is in the process of being restocked. I hope it comes back soon for everyone. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I'm tempted to do this with my numinous because my copy has chipped gilding and it hurts my hands!
It's a great way to revive a well worn gidled deck. I've done that too for older decks where the gilding has been beat up. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Interesting mod. Do you use both the female and the male kings?
I don't personally. I have the male kings in my deck and the female kings set aside. I did mod them all so I can switch them around if I want. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I dislike gilding I really wish deck publishers would stop gilding decks. Edge the decks in an appropriate colour or leave them alone and let us edge them ourselves.
I vote for edge themselves ourselves too! I so enjoy not only selecting the colors but spending the time with the deck. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
