Technical Stuff:
To optimize printing costs, I would like to start with 32 cards as a goal. (this is one sheet of 88x126mm cards)
If that is accomplished and we still have a lot of steam, then let’s shoot for 64 cards or as close to that as possible.
Template:
The finished cards will be 88x126mm. (for reference, a standard tarot card is 70x120mm)
Here is the template in 2 file formats, jpeg and PDF.
- Template jpeg format, first click on it then download
To give you an idea, here is the card I am currently working on (still unfinished.) The image on the right has a white border to indicate the “bleed area.” The finished, cut card is the part inside the bleed area. There will be no border showing. Your artwork should go all the way to the edge (left image) and all the important information should stay within the “Safe Area” indicated by the blue guidelines.
(This is my son's girlfriend Shauna from a picture she calls "Celebrating Myself". )
The template has all the details you’ll need.
IMPORTANT: If you need any help or assistance at all, please just let me know. One of my favourite parts of Button Soup Tarot was working with people to help them get their ideas to a finished card. The collaboration is part of the magic.

Booklet Text: EDIT: You should have received a link to a google doc when you join the project. if you don't have that link, drop me a PM or email.
That’s it!
I haven’t set a “deadline” but logistically, early autumn would be perfect. The sooner work starts coming in though, the more it inspires others, so the sooner it starts coming in the better!
