And it's a go! Thank you, and some important info...

Oh, wow. Just wow. $13,000+ dollars. 260+% funded. 269 backers. 

Please give yourself a nice long hug, pat yourself on the back, and smooch yourself in the mirror. Because you did this! You made this happen, and I'm just so happy to be a part of it. 

I'll post an update in a few days with the next steps, the timeline, and the info I need from you. But for now, I'm going to rest, celebrate, and spend the day in thankful prayer.

There is ONE thing I'd like you to do today, though, and it's very important.

You have an idea that's been on your mind for awhile that feels too big. Too selfish. Or just too weird, unnecessary, and hard.

Whatever that idea is, take one tiny step towards making it happen today.

Because The Simple Tarot Deck started as just a big, selfish, weird, unnecessary, and way-too-hard-to-even-dream-about-doing idea. And then I took one tiny step (doodling some terrible sketches of the Ace of Swords). 

And now, here it is, about to born into the world with a couple hundred people excited to be a part of it. It's crazy (and crazy wonderful) to be on this side of a completed BIG creative project, and I want you to experience some of this joy directly and selfishly, for yourself.

So, please take some time today and do Your Thing, whatever that thing is. 

And if you want some encouragement, support, or a Hell Yeah, please leave a comment and share what Your Thing is. I'd seriously love to be a part of it, and be YOUR backer someday.

All my best,
Angie

Only 9 hours to go! (And the last Milestone Bonus was unlocked!)
about 6 years ago – Wed, Oct 31, 2018 at 05:41:33 PM

Hello, my tarot-loving friend, and Happy Halloween!!!!

There's only 9 hours left until we close out this project (and about 1/2 of those hours are going to be filled with costuming shenanigans), so I'll keep this short...

We got some awesome support thrown our way from Kickstarter itself...check out their Halloween-themed Twitter takeover, featuring The Simple Tarot Deck. Whoa, huh? So awesome!

We also just hit 250 backers, so the final Milestone Bonus has been unlocked...tarot magnets! These will be an Add-On after the campaign, so don't worry about doing anything right now.

And finally, there are a couple other tarot deck projects that are ending tonight that I wanted to point out. I've got no affiliation with either one (other than backing them myself). 

• The Dreamer's Arcana is a non-traditional tarot deck that I love for the artwork. Not for tarot beginners, but so so so gorgeous.
• And I'm in LOVE with The Adorabyssal Oracle. Dark, friendly oracle cards with the cutest monster companions. It's like these cards were made for my soul. :)

Kickstarter has been awesome to me, and I want to share the love. Go check out those projects, and help to support the work of creatives!

Happiest Halloween, and thank you, thank you, thank you for being a part of The Simple Tarot Deck,
All my love,
Angie

$10,000 Stretch Goal Announced! (Survey results)
about 6 years ago – Thu, Oct 25, 2018 at 07:56:35 PM

These results surprised me, but I'm excited that we have something fun for our next BIG goal of $10,000! And, if you've been paying attention, it looks like we're going to hit both 200 backers AND 200% funded within the next couple of days, too. 

Yay! I LOVE unlocking these extras.

For the big $10,000 Stretch Goal, we'll be unlocking THREE things. (I couldn't pick just one).

• Signed & numbered copies of the deck - this will be exclusive to Kickstarter backers, and you'll get to choose whether you want your deck signed or not
• Death card Tote Bag Add-On for $20, plus shipping
• A full set of 78 tarot journaling stickers (1" x 1.5") Add-On for $8, international shipping included

For the next two Milestone Bonuses, we'll be unlocking:

• Tuck boxes!!!! When we hit 200% funded, all Deck backers can choose a tuck box in addition to the velour bag. 
• Three new PDF tarot spread journal pages, when we hit 200 backers. (A daily draw page, plus two different Zodiac Spreads).

Thank you so much for your input. The survey results were overwhelmingly in favor of signed copies and the tote bag, which surprised me. The tote bag was a last-minute addition, and I'm so glad I included it!

Tarot stickers are always popular - and they're perfectly sized to fit on your Milestone Bonus journaling pages. They also fit in the 2019 Tarot Planner (which will be an optional Add-On AFTER the campaign ends), if that's your thing.

There was a strong write-in campaign for tuckboxes (thank you gryffyn & Criswell for pushing for them!), and a light interest in all the other items. 

There was one other awesome idea that I'm going to keep secret until we get closer to our next Big Stretch Goal. The possibility that we'll hit $15,000 is quite small - but if we start to get close, I'll tease you a little bit more. :)

Much love,
Angie
