Project Update: Happy Friday! 6 Days Left!!!
Happy Friday! How was everyones week? This was the first week in a month where my family has not been sick and the weather has been decent so I spent a lot of time outside with my two boys. They are the super fun age of 4 and almost 2 :)
Well we are SO EXCITED we unlocked the first pay bump for the artists!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!! You are bringing much needed love and joy to a community that really needs it right now. So we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We have 6 days left to go, and I will be pushing our BackerKit ads to reach as many people as we can before the campaign ends on May 23rd. By the way, I somehow, due to lack of brain, have this ending at 4am EDT! Which for some is fine, but not in EDT time zone I would expect most to be sleeping. Including yours truly, but I will see if I can wake up to see the ending!!! I meant to set it to 11:11 am EDT but I am not sure how that happened.
This is our first campaign on BackerKit, as you know, and it has been a bit of a steep learning curve. I still am so very happy to be here, and I really hope we can encourage more creators to make the move to this platform.
Now for a POLL!
The spreads will be written by the Spread Goddess, Trish Sullivan, who is a magician when it comes to creating in-depth spreads. These will have 4 queries each, and focus on the theme voted on by the community, and feature the artwork for the theme chosen by the community.
As a reminder, these are the ones we have already voted on:
And this poll attached we will be voting for the image for the theme winner for our Astral deck - Aim for the Stars!
If you would love to add this very exclusive book to your pledge, you can do so in the add-ons tab, or you could treat yourself and upgrade to the highest tier which contains this book! It is a great way to support amazing artists AND get a super exclusive and special spread book to go with this very special Anniversary deck.
So without further adieu, here are the options. Please make sure to vote in the attached poll!
Option 1: King of Wands by Mike Tenebrae
Option 2: Seven of Pentacles by Natacha Chora
Have a great weekend! Hope you get to do something fun :)
XOXO

PS: A few people have asked us - everyone who buys a deck, pocket or regular sized, will get the PDF version of the book, so that means if you get the hard back you also get the PDF.
Project Update: A gift for you!
Wow it has been amazing to see our party grow! Thank you so much for being here and for supporting our incredible artists! Because of all of you amazing people we are so very close to a pay bump for all 111 of our artists! Which happens if we hit 75k!!!!
A gift for you!

Are the physical guidebooks going to be available after the campaign ends (through Etsy or something similar)? And will the price be the same if they are? I can't decide if I can justify the cost of one now, even though I'd love to have it since it is the 10th Anniversary, after all, but since I already have a PDF version with my deck and am on a budget, it may not be a great decision to buy now.
Project Update: Release the Lucky Chicken!
Just wanted to let you know we have decided on an early gift! Since we hit 70k today (thank you thank you) we decided to
Release the Lucky Chicken 🥳🥳🥳
Everyone who backs this project will also get this very exclusive card.
The Lucky Chicken will be printed with the deck, but separated! And ONLY backers will ever own this special special card.
When you draw the lucky chicken, you know it’s going to be a good day!
Our way of saying how much we love and appreciate you.
That is all for now :)

Can we see all of the pages for the spread book? I have been wondering if I should add it and I would like to see how in depth it is. Thanks.

Hello 78 team, Im confused about what is going on with the quote for the box shown on the campaign page. It states that Emerson’s quote was chosen, but that isn’t the one that was chosen and I don’t even think it was there to vote for. Final results show it was Quote 4 by Van Gogh as the popular vote. Did I miss something along the way? Quote 4: “Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent Van Gogh
So I love your decks so much! They’re all so unique in their own way! I am an artist that has been making an Oracle deck, and I was just wondering if you have any advice to give me on which printing company you use? I heard of make playing cards.com is okay, but I am hoping to get it printed with some foil and gilded edges. I hope to hear from you, would really like to know about the company you use! Seems like you can get more options on whomever your printing company is! Thank you!
Project Update: The Lucky Chicken Card!
Happy Friday 🥳🥳🥳
Wow this poll has been so fun to watch! This ends today so make sure you get your vote in for the already unlocked sticker! We are also very close to unlocking the 600 backers sticker.
Here is what you have unlocked so far!
And at the time I’m composing this update we are extremely close to unlocking the next community chosen sticker - The Sun - at 600 backers!!!
So, we need your help! Moving to BackerKit means we have a harder time connecting with our usual Kickstarter audience. And I’m pouring all I can into marketing but we are not a huge business at all, and we don’t have the budget giant projects have.
This is where you come in. 💕
We have created an Action Achievement Goal - that I attached to this update. To achieve this goal you must share the link in the achievement goal 500 times. I know it’s a big ask! But we have a big reward attached! We will unlock the coveted Lucky Chicken Card.
This magnificent card was created by the one and only Amelia Leonards and it is a BackerKit EXCLUSIVE card. This means ONLY BACKERS OF THIS PROJECT will ever own this highly collectible card! We have never done this before and are extremely excited!!!! It’s a way of rewarding our Backers and thanking them in an extra special way. It also is an extra gig for artists so it’s a win for everyone!
We set our publishing goal with enough to print and fulfill everything and give our artists 50.00 each for their art. This is way less than they deserve, which is why we have built artist paybumps in. Our first paybump is at 75k and we hope to hit as many pay bumps as possible before the end of this campaign on the 23rd of May. We have 20 days to go!!!
So here are ways you can help us raise money for our amazing artists!
Addons: We have addons galore! Other decks of ours, accessories like pouches and cases and so much more! Here’s the full list:
To add this to your pledge, you simply go to the campaign and click the Add-Ons tab.
We will be fulfilling this in the fall so plenty of time for holiday gifts!
We have two Backer Exclusive Addons. These are the Calendar and the Spread Book. These are extremely special and will only be owned by Backers of this project.
Sharing our project helps so much, and we are so very grateful for every single share.
Make sure to use the attached Achievement Goal Share button in order to be counted towards the 500 share achievement goal to unlock the Lucky Chicken card!
Thank you so much, to everyone who has pledged, shared and sent words of encouragement. We could not do any of this without our community. Thank you so much for loving our artists.
Can’t wait to unlock the Lucky Chicken Card!!!!!
Any questions? Comment right here or email [email protected] to talk to the team :) We are here for you - whatever you need!
