Congrats, Lisa! Without a doubt, this cardstock guide will influence countless Tarot creators and collectors. Our team at Shuffled Ink really appreciates you choosing us to be a part of this incredible project. Thank you for everything you do for the card community! 😍
This was totally impressive. The research, organization, summaries, editing. You are quite a talented woman, Lisa. Thank you for all the work that went into this.
I love how nerdy this is and how Lisa just saved me HOURS of research (aka procrastination, LOL) by doing it all! 🤣 But seriously, THANK YOU, Lisa! I also loved all the shuffling sounds!
Thank you so much Lisa. These are super helpful information. I just started figuring out how to make a card game print and this really helps me to choose the right type of card.
As a tarot lover who is also obsessed with stationery-my soul just evaporated into a mist and dispersed itself into the air like dandelion seeds flying to heaven.
Fantastic video, it made my nerd-heart happy! Thank you so much for all your hard work on this video, it was a joy to watch and will be such a valuable resource for our community. ❤️
Wow. Great work with this video! Really helped me out about what paper to choose for my cards. Printing pnp board games. The art on tarot cards are so beautiful. Have a Great day
Oh yes, gilding and foil changes the weight for sure... so does the ink :D So lots of people from the playing card community dislike inked faces, because the ink will 'chip off' when shuffled. Inked faces also change the thickness of the card; so you could use your calliper to see the differences here, and David from Magic Orthodoxy puts his cards into a calliper when he does his reviews. What an amazing video, I learned so much, and love the showcase of the torn samples! Very satisfying
Thank you for such an informative, thorough video - I learned so much! All the differences in cards is really fascinating. I just got into collecting playing cards and I didn't know about cores at all.
You should change your name to Lisa Paperz 😊 And this video should be purchased by every single card printing company for such a great demonstration of what to expect. thank you for the time you spent!
Hello Lisa, thank you so much for all of this information and guide is fantastic. This has helped me immensely as I am at the point of sending in my oracle card deck to a printer. Many thanks!
Wooow, now look what arose from just one little question on Facebook! :D (yes, it was me who asked there about cardstock, you're welcome ;) ). But joking aside, this is just awesome and incredible and it's so packed with all possible information! My undying admiration for all the hard work and effort and (undoubtedly) lots of time you put into it. Hats off, Lisa!
Thanks for the idea! It is one of my most fave things that I did this psat year..... and it wouldn't have happened without that first, thoughtful question! :)
Thank you so much for clarifying that no printer calls the finish "rose petal". My husband is a printer and he has yelled at the RUclips videos I'm watching. Of course, Tarot people still call edge painting and edge foiling as "gilding" which still makes me a little shouty.
Omg it’s finally here!! I’m so excited! Not even two minutes in but I already know you put so much work and love into this and it’s gonna be awesome ❤️
So helpful, especially the core & stock types ~ very confusing when you have no clue & are trying to make the best deck possible. Your consolidated info. & detailed descriptions really helped me choose the right options. Thanks so very much for your time. I will agree, Shuffled Ink & Make Playing Cards have both been very helpful in answering questions, patiently, they're great!
Phenomenal research work, concise and clear summary of what you learned. I couldn't help thinking it would maximize ad revenue (and therefore give you more return on investment in putting this incredible project together) by releasing a series of shorter videos with hooks at the end of each. I've put this one in my watch later list so I can enjoy it in 20 minute chunks! UPDATE: Just finished the video and am in complete awe of the work you did on this, and the knowledge you shared. Also, all the people who contributed to the video, the creators and makers, thank you!
You're right... it would have certainly increased the ad revenue to put it into shorter videos... buttttt the reason I decided against it is that I want this to be a userful resource for folks.... it was sort of intended to be an act of service to this community, and I realized that making it into a series with a playlist etc would make it a lot less convenient/useful for those who are looking for the info, particularly people who are less YT savvy and may not get the whole playlist thing.in the end as anyone looking for the info would have to find and watch each individual video to get to all the info. So sweet of you to think of me in this way, by the way, it means a lot. And thank you for watching!
Holy moly!! 😵 I had no idea that cardstock was this involved and detailed. Thank you, and all involved, for creating this resource! For the record, (and hello future deck creators: take note! lol) I LOVE a nice matte colored edging and the added sheen is a nice touch, but that sharp blingy gilding (as pretty as it looks) is hard on the hands and ends up chipping regardless of how careful you are with shuffling a deck. Thank you for continuing to provide content that's useful and fun in this space, Lisa. Much love to you and Peggy (and the fur babies!). 💜
Thank you to all who contributed to this video. Lisa, thank you for taking on this confusing subject matter. It is much appreciated! All my best, Amber
I'm going to watch it now. Let's see what you will bring up. ... for I do have quite a lot of love for card games (from playing cards to games like "once upon a time" to CCG), note cards, post cards, ... and there are quite some "divination decks" out there, that do have horrible cartony card stock (like Froud's Faeries' Oracle or the Hoodoo Tarot) while having quite well produced guide books (which always puzzles me). My solution to bad card stock (or damagable print quality) usually is: card sleeves. It's not perfect because the sleeves impact shuffling to some degree, but overall it improves the usability of some decks in huge ways. When it comes to sizes: Mini American Board Game Size (1 5/8" x 2 1/2" or 41cm x 63cm) is the tiniest size I feel comfortable with and the biggest is around quite big (3.5" x 5.5" or 90cm x 140 cm). 4.5" x 6" (11,4cm x 15,24cm) is hard - meaning I haven't found a way to handle them properly.
What a fantastic video! I'm a year late to this party, but I loved everything you shared, thank you so much! Having 61 year old arthritic hands means the thick, large decks with that soft touch finish are unshuffleable for me. This is very helpful as I have been disappointed over and over with purchasing decks that arrive and I cannot shuffle them. I nominate this video for the RUclips academy award for educational documentaries! Two thumbs up!
Incredible video chocked full of useful and valuable info. And you wrote out an article AND made a printable reference. Informative and easy to understand. You are such a natural teacher. Thank you for sharing this wealth of information with us! ❤❤❤
WOW- What a great resource this video is! So thorough and detailed. A gift to all us indie tarot/oracle makers. 💖💖 Thank you for including Goddess on Earth ORACLE ...AND for the tremendous effort you went through to offer clarity into this murky but important aspect of manufacturing indie decks!
THANK YOU. Seriously, just thank you. I will need to rewatch this a few times to remember everything but I'm so grateful (especially for the downloadable!) ♥
Wow, this is amazing, Lisa! Your videos are always so fun and informative. Would you be so kind as to share more information about The Space Tarot. I am interested in ordering it, but can't locate it. Thank you so much!
Had to come back a day later because I realized I forgot to "Like" 😅 This is an awesome video, and I can see the immense amount of time, preparation, and editing that had to go into this. You definitely filled a gap here on TarotTube, so thank you for putting this out 🙏🏽
This was such a great video. You put so much effort into really researching and editing this, and it shows. Such a valuable resource for the community!!
I don't plan on making a deck anytime soon but I watched this all the way through. Well more listened because I was cleaning. The amount of passion and dedication put into this deck is so heartwarming. Thank you so much Lisa for answering so many unasked questions and giving us SO much of your time. We appreciate you beyond words 💙
Thank you SO much, Lisa, for this incredibly in-depth and thorough cardstock review! Your research and presentation were so methodical and meticulous yet explained in a way that made them accessible to all. What a gift you have provided to the tarot community at large! 💜
This really brought out my inner nerd 🤓 I enjoyed watching this so much and learned loads! 😀 Thank you Lisa for putting so much work into the creation of this video! 💖💖💖
Absolutely adored how in depth you went on this! And how well organized and easy to follow it was. If you're ever looking for another "nerdy" topic to cover, I would love to see a video about tarot deck sizes, because there's such a range of them and sometimes it's hard to tell what's going to be just too darn big for my hands.
Great job, Lisa. Thank you for your hard work on this one. I'm only slightly nerdy about card stock but was fascinated enough to watch the whole thing in one sitting lol. The air cushion in the linen stock is why a lot of playing cards are created that way for cardistry purposes - gives the cards more jump for tricks. Thanks again!
Also, I've recently been seeing listings describing cards as 'resin'. I don't know what that is, but wonder if it's related to the coating, or if it's like a plastic card.
@@toadstooltarot huh that's interesting.. haven't encountered that but resin is a liquid then cured material so... Yeah. I feel like it would be very very inflexible though? Curiouser and curiouser!
Turns out with tarot cardstock it's like with paper you write/draw on - the gsm is NOT what is important. It's the type of cardstock/paper, the finish and so on. But gsm is so much easier, it's a number and many people are obsessed with it (for cardstock and paper) and in both cases it's silly cause there are so many other things that matter...
I'd been looking forward to this ever since you said you were working on it, and it did not disappoint! This was really helpful, and I truly appreciate all the time and effort you put in to doing the research. Thank you so much!
I can't shuffle. I have tried!!!! I just suck at it. I can't even shuffle a poker sized deck. 😭 As a result, I could really give a 💩 about cardstock. Even super flimsy barely better than paper cards are fine with me. But I still watched this entire episode about cardstock and found it very informative. I had no idea there was so much to know about making cards, and I can see this video being super useful for anybody looking to make a deck some day. You're so awesome for doing this video, Lisa, I can't even begin to imagine how much work went into this. Just gathering all your decks for this video and sorting them must have taken hours.
THANK YOU SO MUCH !! This was such an informative, eyeopening video. I really appreciate all the time and effort that you so obviously went to in bringing us all this information. A Big Thank you!
Thank you so much Lisa for this video. It was super helpful and in-depth. I had never tried to rip a card to see the core, it was really cool seeing all the cores also all the different finishes. I definitely have more knowledge about this cardstock world for the next one. Thank you~~~~
Wow! Thank you soooo much, Lisa! I knew some of this from binding books a long time ago. You did a great job breaking down the lb. vs gsm vs pt and making it easy to understand. My inner nerd is just squeeing, lol. A great, great resource for indie deck buyers and creators! Thank you!
I don't know how I missed this...I'm such a card stock snob. You basically gave us a card stock college course...good job! Is it bad that I was still shopping decks during this? Maybe I'll make a deck someday...but I would be struggling with art first.
You just had to include the Baba Studios Alice deck, didn't you? Ugh it's so freaking pretty I neeeeeeeeedd it LOL This video is so cool, turns out I'm more of a nerd than I thought.
Haha I had to rip at least one card! So Skip bo game is blue core cardstock! This is fun! I’m at the different finishes part, maybe this is answered a bit later, will the UV finish give more lighfastness (sp?) to the cards?
Poor Skip Bo! 🤣🤣🤣 As for lightfastness, I'm actually not sure if UV curing provides any additional lightfastness. My assumption/guess would be that the most important factor in lightfastness would be the pigments/inks used in the actual printing, but that's just a guess!
Great video. I learned a lot. I may have to grab a sample pack from MPC. I want to see in person how the finishes impact color. I find things I print with them are often different from what is on my screen and I wander if the finish makes a difference.
My European-Unit-System mind spinning like crazy, trying to translate inches to cm. 😅 Just kidding, thank you so much for the video. It's very helpful and I cannot even begin to imagine how much hard work it required.
I'm lowkey kinda gutted that I forgot to talk about mini decks - which, btw, also vary in size a bit!! While 1.75x2.5 seems to be fairly standard there are some a little taller and some a little wider which I found out when Peggy started acquiring some of those!
1 inch is 2.54 centimetres. So 2.75 inches is 6.985 centimetres. My brain hurts when I have to use metric because I have no idea what anything is in metric, although Canada is technically a metric country. The only time I use metric is when I'm driving for km/h and Celsius for the weather. Everything else is in pounds and inches and Fahrenheit, lol.
Firstly, thank you for doing the hard work of compiling the information and articulating your findings. This is so helpful!!! You did not mention that foils tend to not be environmentally friendly and was really looking forward to seeing if you would discuss metallic details that are environmentally friendly.
Congrats, Lisa! Without a doubt, this cardstock guide will influence countless Tarot creators and collectors. Our team at Shuffled Ink really appreciates you choosing us to be a part of this incredible project. Thank you for everything you do for the card community! 😍
Thank you for all your help!!
@@Lisa_Papez It's our pleasure!! Thank you for bringing this amazing resource to fruition.
@@shuffledink291 It's an epic resource. And great job Shuffled Ink.
This was totally impressive. The research, organization, summaries, editing. You are quite a talented woman, Lisa. Thank you for all the work that went into this.
Gosh, this was such a thorough dissection of cardstock and such. TFS and for those that contributed.
I love how nerdy this is and how Lisa just saved me HOURS of research (aka procrastination, LOL) by doing it all! 🤣 But seriously, THANK YOU, Lisa! I also loved all the shuffling sounds!
Oh, cracking the gilding on a brand new deck is sooooooo darn satisfying 🤤
OMG it really is!
Thank you so much Lisa. These are super helpful information. I just started figuring out how to make a card game print and this really helps me to choose the right type of card.
As a tarot lover who is also obsessed with stationery-my soul just evaporated into a mist and dispersed itself into the air like dandelion seeds flying to heaven.
Oh my nerd heart is so happy right now. Thank you for your time and effort to bring all this information together!
OMG Lisa! Thank you so much for such valuable information! Made my homework much more easy!
This was so incredibly well done….I am beyond impressed!!! 💖💖💖💖
Thank you Sarah! 🥰🥰
Incredibly helpful video! Thank you so much Lisa, this is an amazing resource.

I prefer borders. I wish it was financially feasible for deck creators to offer a bordered and borderless version.
Oh hell yeah. Saving to watch this later ❤️❤️
THANK YOU SO MUCH !! This was such an informative, eyeopening video. I really appreciate all the time and effort that you so obviously went to in bringing us all this information. A Big Thank you!
Great video! This is invaluable to new deck creators! ♥️
Wow! What a great resource video! Thanks Lisa! I learned so much.
Yay it’s here! Not even watched it yet, I just wanted to say thank you for putting all the work in 💜 I’ll go watch it now 👀
Omgsh those slow mo bridge shuffles are so lush to watch!!! 😂 what an amazing deep dive into this! So educational and helpful Lisa. Thank u 🙏 😊 Xx
Thank you so much Lisa for this video. It was super helpful and in-depth. I had never tried to rip a card to see the core, it was really cool seeing all the cores also all the different finishes. I definitely have more knowledge about this cardstock world for the next one. Thank you~~~~
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! Thank you soooo much, Lisa! I knew some of this from binding books a long time ago. You did a great job breaking down the lb. vs gsm vs pt and making it easy to understand. My inner nerd is just squeeing, lol. A great, great resource for indie deck buyers and creators! Thank you!

Great and informative video! Thank you, Lisa!✨🌟✨
This is absolutely brilliant!
This was soo interesting and educational! Awesome job!☺💚

I need a trump/pocket size tarot deck with playing cards stock lol
So hey is the playful heart tarot deck a typical sized deck or is it slightly bigger? Great video btw thank you for the work you put into this!
Slightly bigger!
Well done!,
Thank you!
My European-Unit-System mind spinning like crazy, trying to translate inches to cm. 😅 Just kidding, thank you so much for the video. It's very helpful and I cannot even begin to imagine how much hard work it required.
Oh dear.... conversions! LOL So glad you enjoyed the video!
hAHAhahaha same
Hi! Looking for a thick card stock for original RWS something like first run Wild Unknown…any recommendations my friends?
does the art paper give it any archival quality? LOnger lasting ink et
hi lisa! Do you like the MPC a35 or s30 better for tarot cards? :)
Then there's mini size decks, which are 1.75" x 2.5", and I have two Lenormand decks that are 2.5" squares. :-)
I'm lowkey kinda gutted that I forgot to talk about mini decks - which, btw, also vary in size a bit!! While 1.75x2.5 seems to be fairly standard there are some a little taller and some a little wider which I found out when Peggy started acquiring some of those!
I've never seen the blooming cat tarot 🙀
It's so dang cute!!! You can find it here: www.cosmiceye.org/product-page/blooming-cat-tarot-deck
@@Lisa_Papez it is! And $29 is pretty dang cheap but I'm trying to behave. Not sure about a kickstarter i backed and that's just bugging me
Is there any way to add notes with measurements in cm? Everyone else in the world uses cm, I don't understand what an inch is 😭
1 inch is 2.54 centimetres. So 2.75 inches is 6.985 centimetres. My brain hurts when I have to use metric because I have no idea what anything is in metric, although Canada is technically a metric country. The only time I use metric is when I'm driving for km/h and Celsius for the weather. Everything else is in pounds and inches and Fahrenheit, lol.
Linen cards fart 😳
Firstly, thank you for doing the hard work of compiling the information and articulating your findings. This is so helpful!!! You did not mention that foils tend to not be environmentally friendly and was really looking forward to seeing if you would discuss metallic details that are environmentally friendly.
