PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A HAND TRIMMED DECK OF CARDS. WHILE THE BORDERS HAVE BEEN REMOVED, SOME SLIVERS OF BLACK LINE MAY REMAIN.
This is a customized deck of cards with the borders trimmed off them. Each card has been trimmed by hand, bringing it closer to 60mm x 111mm sized card deck (as opposed to the original 70mm x 120mm deck). These are not cut with a heavy duty “stack cutter” you might find in major card printing factories, and as they are being customized outside of the factory setting, results will vary. I will do my best to keep each card consistent with the rest of the deck. I use a process with a rotatrim professional M12 trimmer where each card will be trimmed to a set size, usually making the cards quite uniform, both visually and to the touch. Then they go through the process of being cornered by “The Warrior” Round Corner Cutter.
Please note that not every deck will be exactly the same size as the next. (for example if you bought two customized decks they might not be the exact same size, but should be very close).
The process is time consuming, taking, on average, about an hour to completely trim the borders, so these custom decks will be available once in awhile (when I get the time to create them). If there is enough demand, it’s something I may produce in very small batches every few weeks.
Please do not buy this deck if you are quite OCD about your decks, and be aware of what this custom deck entails. As you can see in the pictures while these cards will fit in the box, they are sufficiently trimmed to where they will be a bit loose. We’ll still include the box, but again it’s something worth considering.
I feel much more comfortable selling a customized deck after I can see how the deck looks, so If i deem it is cut to a sufficient quality, then I will offer it up for sale. As such, these “borderless” editions of the deck are not readily available. When trimming borders, it’s not always 100% perfection and sometimes the blade will stray a fraction of a millimeter (for example you might find a sliver of a black line where the border line used to be). If I feel it’s minimal, I’ll allow it to pass, but again it will be at my discretion and again, please only order if you can accept slight imperfections in the trim.
——Now, on to the actual imagery in the cards!———————
This is the “Stars” or version of the deck. All the imagery is the exact same as the “dots” or “sparkles” edition (the one with the purple box). The difference is really in the design of the laminate. The “Stars”, as you might imagine, gives off a shimmering starry effect.
The Spring Waite combines all the vivid , lush colours of new life with the natural world of butterflies, flowers and even bunnies!
We have a rabbit drawn Chariot card. The Devil is a bee. (wonderful creatures but they still scare people!...and then there's the allergic reactions!) Several characters spread their butterfly wings and loads of flowers !

*Cards are laminated with a cold lamination machine. The sheet needs to go through rollers to adhere to the card. Be aware that sometimes this process leaves faint roller impressions. Typically, this does not take away from the lamination effect or card illustration. We do not consider this a printing error. It is part of the lamination process.
The cards are standard size 70 X 120 mm , Custom, Bespoke per order.
350 gsm cardstock and 78 fully illustrated cards.
