Redesigned the first attempt to design my own tarot cards.
I do have a Tarot Deck, but I have a lot of issues if you'd like to read about it here.

MAJOR ARCANA
MINOR ARCANA
THE PROCESS
I've created two alternating sets that can be overlapped in CRICUT Design Space.
This reduces negative space, thus reducing time to scale, position, and cut.
11cm x 87cm
No gaps/waste between each Tarot Stamp, no thin strips either. It should cut the shapes as is.
I did not have a tweezer to apply the stickers, so I just used these pen-knives.
Printed with CRICUT Joy, sliced with a portable A4 guillotine. I don't remember how long it took.
Completed! Made two sets to ensure no waste! They're thicker than normal cards, but they feel so nice! Corners are a bit sharp, but that's OK, it's just for me anyway. Still effective as a normal deck!
ISSUES
While I have become familiar with my tarot deck overtime, I still had to use reference

THIS IS NOT A GUIDE.
I don't care about lack of grammar - I cannot be bothered.
As always, I'm celebrating Valentine's Day with something special. It's my favourite holiday, regardless of my relationship status. It took me 6 hours to make.

This is the mock-up of what I wanted to do. Initially, it included white and metallic ink, and the card would open like the heart-shaped storybook. With too many similarities and clashing details, I simplified it to card only. Also, my handwriting is bad, so I didn't want to rely on my shaky hands again.
A few key moments here and there like the name of the occasion, our names together, a portrait of us that was taken a year ago nearer Valentine's Day, then the anniversary of when we started dating. I liked the flame heart emoji and opening it this way (as a decoration) was more unique than the other heart-shaped design. Also, heart shapes are difficult to work with
