Trimming the Tarot of the Secret Forest and the Fairy Lights Tarot

[@mojobrody]

what an epic mod job for two seriously evocative decks, You did them a huge favor (and yourself!) I love watching your videos and learning your unique and creative ways of reading and playing with intuition, journaling and the synchronistic art in decks. THANK you so much Dawn Michelle for al; your offerings to this community! see you at nwts!

[@bluelot7546]

EXCELLENT!! I would love to do this but I wouldnt be able to read them - I admire your ability to do that

[@shaneem818]

Hello my Martha Stewart of Tarot. I definitely need to move on to the phase of trying to practice intuitively and I think these decks work for that purpose. Combining 2 similar decks was a great idea. I think I may do this with DruidCraft and Wildwood maybe?? I'll continue my search for similar light/shadow combo to attempt this next stage with

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Hello my dear, I think Druidcraft and Wildwood would be great together! I don't know if you have them, but one of my favorite light/shadow combos is the Darkness of Light and the Wooden Tarot. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@shaneem818]

@@DawnMichelleTarot I have both, Druidcraft and Wilwood but I will definitely look into the Darkness of Light and the Wooden Tarot. I really would like something to counter/compliment the Tarot of Vampyres but I cannot find one thus far. Thank you for your content, it's creative and valuable and appreciated.

This turned out great!!! Just gorgeous 🥰

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Thank you, they turned into some adorable little pocket decks. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

@@DawnMichelleTarot I have to say, you have a real ralent for deck mods and combos! I've drawn so much inspiration from your videos and have been so amazed by your ability to make any deck look even better, that my wishlist has grown exponentially as a result! I wish you all the tarot inspiration in the world ❤

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Aw thank you so much, I am so glad that my channel has been helpful for you. ❤️

[@merulava]

I really couldn't look past these borders when I saw them the first time. But this made me fall hopelessly in love.. they are b e a u t i f u l trimmed!!!

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

They read beautifully trimmed too, like a story. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@TheMagicalCatLady]

These look amazing. I’m not sure why Lo Scarabeo always puts these obnoxious borders on their decks. Especially on something like the Fairy Lights where the artist created the art work to go together and each card has a match that completes the painting. The borders completely destroy that concept. The Fairy Lights has been on my wish list for a while but I really didn’t know how I would cut it to make it borderless. Thanks so much for this vid. This has really helped me and I think I will be getting this deck now that I know I can trim it 100%. You’re videos are always the best. love and blessings 😺❤️❤️❤️

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I am so glad you enjoyed the video, and they do seem like they should have been borderless from the start! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@MxKellyBear]

Such a wonderful project, they turned out great! You always have such great ideas, it's so inspiring. Thank you for sharing this fun process.

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed the video. It's fun to share all my crazy projects with everyone. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@jamesfeeney623]

I love how it turned out! I find these so relaxing and fun to watch

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I am so glad you enjoy them!! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@Rosenliebe]

Love how they turned out, Dawn Michelle! I am drawn to more intuitive readings at the moment too :-)

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Thank you so much, I really enjoy working with them. I tend to be drawn to more intuitive readings now and then as well. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@AnnieDusk]

Oh these look amazing. I especially love the Fairy Lights Tarot 💕

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

They are so pretty together and tell a beautiful little story when you lay them all out. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@janetdanes7945]

Very interesting. Thank you.

[@soliferi]

i had the forest deck for almost 10/12? yrs, got rid of it. bought the fairy lights now i want it back. T.T ceccoli works well with fairy lights though.

[@mackenziesim9268]

They look fantastic!

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@Stephanie-md4ed]

These look great! I've been too much of a nervous Nelly to mod any of my decks but this one is tempting, especially the Fairy Lights with those paired images.

[@Stephanie-md4ed]

And that Fiskar trimmer you've got looks badass!

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

It's a lot of fun to do, you could always try your hand at it on some cheap playing cards first. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@SpiralMystic]

They look so gorgeous. Those images deserve no distractions. ..... I'm still deciding whether I wish to have this deck as purely intuitive. Similar to the Bauer deck - I would preferred to have both options (such as a discreet suit/number). Great to see that cutting off so much doesn't hurt the images, which was what I was wondering. Blessings x

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

You could always make a small notation on the card itself to indicate suit/number and them trim away the borders and titles. That's kinda the best of both worlds. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@missyrae2010]

They look amazing! 😍

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@ashleyhill8737]

Thank you 😊

[@anitahedgeways5280]

This is great! Wow, now I kind of want these just so that I can trim them 🤣

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

It was a fun project to do and I really love them trimmed, I highly recommend it! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@melissabrooks9680]

I literally just got both in the mail just so I could trim/mod them after seeing this 😂. I agree with reading them intuitively instead of RWS way. The art is beautiful.

[@rosehip6976]

Thanks for the informative video. Do you think that its possible to trim both these decks with scissors. I don't have a guillotine?

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I would think so, I've seen lots of people do some really wonderful mods with scissors. I'm just so uncoordinated with scissors I use the cutter. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@rosehip6976]

I totally enjoy your videos. I've trimmed all the borders off both decks. The tops and bottoms arent even at all. Its not a problem - I'm not a perfectionist, I don't riffle shuffle and it seems to suit them. Thanks again, Take care

[@eradanslherbe]

Dawn I just purchased both decks and was curious what are the size of the cards (in inches) after modification? Thank you! I only bought these because seeing them modified by you. So excited!

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

They are pretty small after the mod about 2.25 x 3.75 inches. Great little pocket size! I hope that helps and that you enjoy the decks as much as I do! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@eradanslherbe]

@@DawnMichelleTarot that is tiny but they look incredible Dawn so I am going to modify them. I hope mine will turn out like yours. The 1st deck I tried I did not use tape nor did it in daylight. I just used tape to perfect them and they look fantastic! Smaller than what this deck will be lol but fantastic. So, always listen to Dawn is what I learned : ) Thank you for all you do and show us Dawn. Hugs!

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I am so glad!

[@rustinst.claire2006]

I love the art in the Fairy Lights Tarot, but the weird CGish symbols really clash with the artwork and I have never been able to buy the deck because of it. I am ok with using symbols but at least make the style match the artwork :\

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I agree! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
