I absolutely love your videos! Knowledge, creativity, serene reflexions - You're a blessing!
Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoy them. 🥰
Your videos are so comforting.
I watch to relax and de-stress during these troubling times.
Aw thank you so much, I am so glad you find them comforting. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Not only have your videos inspired me to modify a couple of my decks, but now there seems to be an oracle deck out there that I could love!
How wonderful!! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
I know this is an older video, and I'm not sure if I've commented before, but I absolutely enjoy your videos. Seeing you play around with different things to modify your decks has inspired me. I've edged a few of mine, and although they aren't perfect, it's the intention and energy spent with my deck that makes me feel more bonded with them. Thanks for sharing your deck mods. It's encouraged me to get artsy and really connected to some of my decks.
Aw thank you so much, I am so glad you are enjoying my videos. I love modifying my decks, really helps to make them feel like my own. 🥰
Love your series on mods!
Thank you so much! 😊
I loved the edges of the decks!!😉
I just watched this video again and finally trimmed my first deck😃 It is amazing to see a new deck appear or like looking at the images for the first time🤗 I really enjoy your videos and have watched almost all of them some more than once😉 I watch from my other CZcams account on my roku and I don't think there is a way to comment watching that way? I just finished trimming my Spiral tarot which is now a mini and curious to see if you end up trimming yours. Like most others I sure wish they had created it with a larger image. Thank you for sharing😊
Thank you so much for watching, I am so glad you enjoy the videos!! Modifying a deck really can change it's whole "personality" and can be such a wonderful bonding experience. I haven't trimmed my Spiral Tarot as I am currently doing a study with it. My intention was to trim to afterwards, but the borders are kinda growing on me the more I work with it, so we shall see. 😊
@@DawnMichelleTarot yes it is the one deck I'm not sure if I liked it trimmed and might order another copy someday😉 There really isn't much room for error when trimming that one. I have yet to edge any of my decks yet so maybe that will help😊
I used mr sketch scented markers on my plain edged deck to match the color to my deck color. It makes it look a lot better.
Love your Delos modification so much! Looks awesome :-) I edged my Crystal Visions with glitter and used nailpolish on the fronts to add some bling. Still haven’t decided if I will finally trim and back my Tarot of Transformation or not - every time I use it I think about it, but for some reason I never do it. Thank you for sharing your mod decks, Dawn Michelle, I love this kind of videos. Looking forward to your next one. x
Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed it. I think I have decided to trim and reback my Tarot of Transformation after I get done doing some depth work with it. But I am still undecided about just how I want to trim it. 😊 Ooh I would love to see your crystal visions modifications, mine turned out a bit of a hot mess, but I really enjoyed work on it!
Ooh glitter nail varnish, that sounds amazing, have you shown on IG ? Im thinking I need to bling a deck..I haven't quite decided on which deck, but what a great idea...much love Gxx
I can't remember if I shared it on IG, probably a long time ago ;o) With everything going on health and family related at the moment I haven't been active on there for a while now. Love right back at you Sweetheart xxx @@madwitch9977
Yep ... I hear you on the hot mess, I still get glitter on my hands every time I use the Crystal Visions, but I love glitter, so that isn't a bad thing, hm ?!? As soon as things calm down a bit here I might share it on IG ;o)@@DawnMichelleTarot
oh im sorry i didnt know you were poorly..life is busy ..but i love the idea..i wil have to try it 😍😍much love and hope you are on the mend xxx
i love your mod for tarots love all of them love your videos
Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoy the videos!
Can't wait for the video on how you do the distressed method 😍
I think I showed that in my mod tutorial with stamps. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Great mods here. Love seeing your work!!!!!!!!!!!
I must get myself the tea dye distress stamp + the gold one because that edging is gorgeous. Can't wait for your video on the Nicoletta Ceccoli (sorry for repeatedly commenting this). I'm getting it too and I'm super interested in how you 'reshuffled' or changed the images to suit your understanding!!!!
I love the tea dye with the gold stamping mixed together, they are so beautiful! I am working on my Nicoletta video (you're not the only one to ask about it!) Hopefully that will be done before too much longer. :) Thank you for watching!
Im going to check your channel..later..to view ur decks!!i like the tone of your voice..so sweet and soft!!
Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoy it! ❤️
Really want to see how you've restructured the Ceccoli tarot. I recently got mine and am having the hardest time with it.
I've got a video in the works about how I went about doing that. I had a really hard time with it too until I restructured it in a way that made more sense to me. Maybe going through the same process might help! :)
oh yes pease , I would love to know about ur journey with the Ceccoli Tarot as I am thinking the same thing about changing the cards , to different titles , as I too don't think the images go well with the original titles , please do a video soon .
I did a video a while back on how I restructured my Ceccoli Tarot, I think if you just search out the deck name on my channel, it'll take you to it. I think I might have put it in the Transforming the Tarot playlist as well. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Omg im jealous already..you have so many tarots!!i only have 2 decks..lol
I only had 2 decks for decades! I've only expanded my collection to this extent in the last few years. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Just found your channel and I am loving your videos! So many great deck mods!!!!
I am so glad you found me and are enjoying the videos! Thank you for watching!
Beautiful decks!!
So nice to know about the Prismacolor markers, I tried to edge a deck with Sharpie recently and had a bit of color bleed around the edges. I love how the Crystal Tarot looks trimmed. And I love how the Cosmic Tarot looks with the different colored edges! They all look great, really :) I would love to see more about how you back your decks - I just backed one of my decks, and it looks pretty good, but I'm wondering if it will last... Such a fun video - thanks for sharing all your modified decks :)
Also try Crayolas (I just uploaded a video on markers that talks about them.) I use them all the time now and I rarely get any bleed with them. I do have a video on rebacking coming up in the next few weeks. That one I am really looking forward to making as well because rebacking does come with its own unique struggles lol. Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
@@DawnMichelleTarot Thank you! I'll go check out the new video!
Thank you for sharing your experience with mods. I just did my Schiffer Gaian Tarot and it was a hot mess. In part due to their inconsistency on where they printed the titles (I wanted to keep them), my fancy expensive Genesis paper trimmer apparently needs a new blade but it is no longer being made, and I used sharpie to edge which bled horribly. I wasn’t sure if it was the sharpie or the cut of my trimmer that caused it, but I’ve been scared to edge my Shadowscapes and Tarot Fauna now. The mildliner is probably a great fit for the shadowscapes. I don’t know what color to edge Tarot Fauna in yet. The backs are mostly black, but there isn’t a lot of black on the fronts. I am loving your antique edgings and am looking forward to that video!
Sometimes you gotta watch the actual printing of the cards, the borders and titles and such don't always line up and that can be so frustrating, I feel ya there! I know some people have great experiences with Sharpie, but they always bleed for me. I recommend the prismacolor black or believe it or not, crayola black. They don't bleed near as bad. I just uploaded a video specifically on markers if you want to check that out, that might be helpful. Try the mildliners, I have found that I can almost always wipe away the excess (again I talk about that in my marker video) that might work better for you. The stamping video is coming in the next week or two! Thank you for watching!
Hi Dawn, thanks for this great video. It's so inspiring for modders~ May I ask what's the brand name and product color number of the art marker you used for Magical Forest at 11:54? That's such a mysterous and beautiful color! Thanks.
I am so glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately I don't remember which exact color I used for that deck. In general, now I use tombows mostly. Sorry I couldn't be more help! Thank you for watching. ❤️
You and me both, I need to get a second Chrysalis tarot ..I did my Anna K in a bronze to make the front..I lopped the borders off my Dreaming way, but didn't edge...I love your deck collection, but its really bad for my depth year!! much love Gxx
Ooh, Anna K in bronze, I bet that is pretty! That is one of my favorite decks. Oh, I'll try not to derail you with my collection videos (should I not mention that I have done 8 videos covering my entire collection that will be coming over the next few weeks? hehe) I am terrible, every time I get a new deck I look for a way to modify it, which is very possibly why I have so many dang decks! :)
nnnoooo ..thats soo cruel 😂😂😂..ill love it !! cant wait xxx
Sooooo just sending my decks to you and when you just happen to find the time to do all the work to make the decks perfect...is that a thing...no...ok. Just thought I'd ask :) I've trimmed a few decks and they came out great but my edging...lots of micro boarders... My next deck is the Thoth. I don't know all the names but when I see it freed from the borders, it's just gorgeous :)! Thanks for the videos.
I work really hard to try to avoid micro borders, it's why I try to avoid inks that dry instantly. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
@@DawnMichelleTarot I'm watching your tarot journal video now. Love it ! You have given me so many ideas on how to up my creativity :) I also loved your video on deck mods as part of tarot practice. It really resonated with me. Thanks for all the work you put in your videos and sharing them with us :)
I am a new sub and I am binge-watching your videos in no order whatsoever, so I am sorry if you have addressed this question on any of your other videos, but: when you added the black ink to the Delos, did you do it card by card as the edges are usually done, or did you hold the deck as one single unit? Thank you for sharing everything you do on your channel, I am enjoying it so much! 💕
Hi Annie, welcome to my channel and I am so glad you found me. With the Delos, I colored all the cards first, one at a time in their designated colors and then I used my finger to apply black distressed ink to the whole deck at once. I wouldn't recommend this technique with marker or sharpie because it will bleed, but with the ink pads, it works pretty well as long as you use your finger and you don't pretty too hard. I do have a video in my deck mod playlist where I talk about edging with stamps and I show this technique, you might find that video helpful if you want to just it a try. :) Thank you so much for watching! :)
@@DawnMichelleTarot Thank you so much! I have never modded a deck but I have been so tempted after watching your beautiful mods!
these are my fav videos of yours! what edition do you have of The Darkness of light? and is it your favorite? because I’m searching on Ebay for one! ❤️
I think mine was the 4th edition but I've since rehomed it so unfortunately I can't check. 🙂
@@DawnMichelleTarot oh okay, ty 💕
So I am interested in knowing what color you would edge a trimmed Thoth deck
I edged my trimmed large Thoth in a bronze-brown color to match the backs. I love it!
Hi, thank you for you tutorials, my question is when using permanent contact do you find that after use the edges lift and if so how to you fix it, thanks
I haven't found any lifting on mine, although I did use some mod podge to glue down the edges on one of my decks because I accidentally bought removable contact paper. That seems to have worked well. I hope that helps. Thank you for watching. ❤️
what do you mean by additional painting on the deck?
Sometimes I paint over the top of my decks. 😁
What deck is that on your title screen upper left?
That looks like the Darkness of Light tarot. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Does the Blue Messiah and Cosmic cards have large punched corners or medium?
I think I used large because the cards are on the larger size. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
May I ask what you used to edge your Mary El? I’m starting to mod mine, and I’m having an issue with bleeding. I usually use a sharpie or a copic marker. The only thing I have that doesn’t seem to bleed is a crayola lol Unfortunately the crayola isn’t giving me deepest black.
I believe for the Mary El I used the Magnum black sharpie because I had trouble with my normal art markers adhering to the edges of the contact paper. Generally for black I use a prismacolor chisel tip art marker. It gives me the deepest black with the least amount of bleeding. I hope that helps! 😊
Boho Tarot Thank you!
I just wanted to ask what yellow marker did you use on the angels and ancestors deck?
The base yellow on the angels and ancestors is Mildliner brand yellow. It's actually a highlighter, but it works beautifully on card edges and has a fantastic yellow tone. I also used that on my Llewellyn deck as well. With the Angels and Ancestors, I did add a distressed ink over the top to give it that aged look, but the base layer is the same on both of those decks. Thank you for watching!
I'm new to your channel so I apologize if you've answered this before but do you ever find that your decks don't shuffle as well after trimming? My Enchanted Map Oracle deck shuffles awful after I trimmed them. It's such a shame because I love the deck!
Welcome to my channel, I'm so happy you found me! :) Yes, I do find that with certain decks, they really don't shuffle well after you trim them. I think it depends on the card stock. My Llewellyn tarot for example doesn't really riffle shuffle very well since it's been trimmed and I mostly have to overhand shuffle that. But, my Cosmic Tarot still shuffles like a dream with a riffle shuffle. So I think it really comes down to cardstock. I'm not sure there is any real way to tell how it's going to shuffle after a trim, I generally trim anyway and if it doesn't shuffle great afterward, I just switch to overhand shuffling it instead. I hope that helps! Thank you so much for watching!
@@DawnMichelleTarot Thank you! It's good to know I'm not just imagining it. I couldnt find any info on that problem. I even made an instagram post about it but didn'tget a lot of responses. Someone mentioned trying a flour trick but I've not tried it yet. It seems both methods of shuffling don't work great. But it's such a neat deck. 😊
@@meghannjones7112 Have you seen the multiple pile method of shuffling? I have used that a couple of times for decks I can't riffle or overhand shuffle. Basically you just make 4 or 5 piles and deal the cards out randomly into each pile. Then scoop them all up together. You can do that a few times to get a good mixture. It's kinda fun too. :)
What is the corner cutter you use to round your deck's corners? Yours always look so perfect!
Also, before you, I had no idea anyone trimmed their decks but me and mine look terrible compared to yours! LOL I can't wait to try to some of your tricks to make mine better :)
I use the Sunstar Kadomaru Pro corner rounder, it works wonderfully.
🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
It takes some practice and I've had a lot! I practice alot on cheap playing cards and inexpensive decks before moving on to my good decks. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
What is the card stock of your Darkness of Light deck?
I have rehomed the deck, but best I can remember it was a bit stiff and difficult to shuffle. Although mine was an older edition and I do believe the cardstock is different now.
@@DawnMichelleTarot I asked it because I have the 4d edition and it is the linen finish,and I had the problem to edge this linen stock.
What gold marker or pen would you recommend to add permanent embellishments to card backs? I'm afraid of it coming off during shuffling so I need to choose wisely! Thank you!
The only pen I've ever used on the front (or backs) of cards had been a gold Sharpie paint pen. It worked well on my Lovers Path Tarot, however I have some issue of it not sticking well to really glossy cardstock. I hope that helps! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
Boho Tarot thank you!
12:15~ Can I ask what's the name of this deck? It is really beautiful!!
Cosmic reading cards & Blue Messiah reading cards blended together.
Have you ever trimmed a round deck?
I have not as I think I only have one or two round decks. I think that would take a good pair of scissors and a steady hand. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
what do you mean when you say you repainted a deck??
I have been adding metallic accents to my Druidcraft Tarot. 😊 I have a video coming out in November that goes over the process if you are interested. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
@@DawnMichelleTarot I can't wait! The Druidcraft is my all time favorite deck, I have 3 copies lol!
