did you end up making one? Sorry for calling you out, but I'd love to see if anything became of this.

Thank you so very much for this video. I've been looking for information regarding the process of self publishing.

You're a huuuge time saver for this. Thank you.

I knew of MPC but not the template and all those steps...so helpful! Thank you so much! :)

Thank you so much for sharing this! I really appreciate willingness to truly help others with this knowledge. 💕😊

What a great resource; a printer that has all the technical bits already figured out for you! Now my mind is reeling with possibilities. Perhaps I will try this one day! Thank you!

Thank you for this information. You explain the steps in a way that I can understand. I work with tarot cards for personal development and growth, and have always been curious about how the cards are made.

Thank you for your video...it was exactly what I was looking for...It helped me out a lot ! Thanks again!

Great content on the making card parts. Was very helpful. Stuck on box part.

Absolutely excellent 👌. Thank you so much for sharing. Bless you. Love ❤️ and light, friend

Your video helped me a lot as I am planning to do the same as you did starting today! Thanks.

Thank you so much Luna! I have always wondered how people create their own decks....I'm definitely going to try this!

Thank you so much and one question in 2021 relating to MPC how do you get images both sides of the cards, no matter what I do I only seem to get image to back ( individual tarot image designs) and the front only gives me color and text option and no image? Any clues ?

@anatourian8084

When it first start designing the cards, In Step 1. You have an option/ button to select same image for all fronts or different images. You have to select different images for all fronts. Then it gives you the option to import the files. As far as the text, or color, you can just select "skip" and it will just go to the next step. Hope this helps!

How much is it to do just a normal 78 card tarot deck?

Where do you get the tarot book printed with the meanings for the cards? The ones offered with the cards at the printer you suggested are small

Did you draw the images yourself? Just curious

Hello, thanks so much for sharing this information, it has been truly helpful for me.

@anatourian8084

I have done tuck boxes since that is the more economical version. You can definitely do two part boxes and even magnetic boxes, however you'd have to go through professional printers. Those will usually only take on a minimum of 500 decks. And as far as costs of printing you're looking at something around $11.000

Mpc don't do oracle cards?

I made oracle and Tarot cards for myself but what if I want to sell them. My pictures I did not create, I copied them from random places online. Do you know the legalities of doing this?

That was a great tutorial. Thank you! Is there a place where I can get the booklets printed? MPC does not have proper booklets option.

They have added some options. However if you want a more chunky book, then your best bet is amazon self publish. You get a bunch of options in terms of book size.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! If I want to create a template for the front cards that includes each card's messages and statements, do I also want this outline to be within the red lines? Or can it be directly on the red lines?

I was so excited about creating a deck but seeing this makes me realize I probably won’t be able to do anything with it. I don’t even own a computer. Just have art supplies. I was a little discouraged before, but now I don’t think I can even do it. It’s just unfortunate bc I already created a lot of the artwork and had a great idea for the structure of the deck.

@anatourian8084

4 жыл бұрын

You shouldn't give up. If you have the art done you can create a deck. Even if it means going to your fedex and working on their computer. You need to take pictures of your work, or scan them and then work from there. You can also download an editing program temporarily. The printer site has also an option to add the type in there. Remember, every deck creator started somewhere. Good luck!

Bless you for sharing this information. I do have a question about selling on Etsy. I made a deck at printers studio and put it for sale on my store site at printers studio. When you sale your decks on Etsy that you printed on Printers Studio, do you order from your site on Printers Studio and have them ship to the buyer? I want to sell the deck I made on P.S. and sell it on etsy but I am confused. Do you end up having etsy and printers studio both take a percentage. Or do you just buy it from your account site on P.S. , without setting up a store site and ship it to buyer from etsy's address. Sorry if my question is so confusing. I hope you can help me figure it out. Thank you for your time. Teresa

I order my decks from them and then I distribute them personally. That way I can control and make sure everyone is getting their decks in time. Or if there are any issues I am aware of them. When you sell directly from the printer, it takes longer and you really have no control in terms of shipping. I also like to package everything myself and add thank you notes and such. Makes it more personal. Hope that helps :)

so... I work with charcoal and want to do this but also use 18x24 charcoal paper... how do I scan these? lol

@anatourian8084

5 жыл бұрын

Well, first make sure you fix the charcoal with spray. Then, you need to scan them in pieces and assemble in photoshop. Or go to a place with a large enough scanner. The other thing you can do is just take pictures of the pieces. Get a tripod and do it that way. Use natural lighting or a natural light lamp. Good luck!

Hi Ana, I'm not sure if you still monitor comments here. You suggest scanning at 300dpi. I always scan 600 dpi by default just because that's my scanner's highest setting, so I assumed it was best. Should I change to 300dpi or is the highest better? Thanks for the guide!

@anatourian8084

3 жыл бұрын

You can certainly scan at 600 dpi. Image would be better quality. However, the files will be very large and sometimes will take longer to upload or work within the program. Usually if you scan say an image that's 4 x 2 @600dpi. You can resize to 6 x 8 at 300dpi. It would be work. But if you scan an 4 x 2 and 200, you can't make it bigger.

It doesn't have to be. It really depends on the final card. If you want a traditional tarot size then any rectangle size. But you do need to make it a bit larger than the final size. I would not make a square image or circular since then you'd have to do a lot of cloning and editing in photoshop to have enough art.

Just saw this. Hmmm.. unfortunately it's not something easy to do. The type of paper you need for cards you'll lot find at your regular staples. It's also hard to print them off your computer. Unless you have a high end printer. The only thing you could do is print them on a good stock and perhaps laminate them. That will give you something that could be shuffled and wouldn't get damaged.
