My dear friends,

The campaign has officially come to an end… and I honestly don’t know how to put into words how grateful I am.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Thank you for believing in The Gentle Tales Tarot, for backing the project, sharing it, commenting, encouraging me, and following this journey from the very beginning.

Every single pledge meant the world to me. As an independent creator, knowing that so many people connected with this little fairytale is something I’ll never forget.

This campaign has been full of emotions - moments of excitement, moments of doubt, and so many unforgettable memories. Looking back now, I couldn’t be happier that we made it to the finish line together.

But this is only the beginning…

Very soon I’ll post another update about the Backer Survey and everything you’ll need to know before shipping begins.

And… I may have a few little surprises waiting for you. 🤭✨

So keep an eye on future updates - you definitely won’t want to miss them!

Once again, thank you for making this dream come true. I truly couldn’t have done it without all of you.

Now it’s time for me to focus on preparing your decks and getting them one step closer to your hands.

With all my love and gratitude,

Dasha 💛🍄🌙

✨ Only 48 Hours Left ✨

My dear friends,

We have officially entered the final 48 hours of the campaign!

First of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported The Gentle Tales Tarot. Every pledge, comment, share, and kind message has meant so much to me. Independent projects like this only exist because of people like you, and I will never take that for granted.

I also wanted to share something personal.

Last Thursday, I was playing padel tennis with a friend when I had a bad fall. I landed face-first, hitting both my jaw and my head against the ground. After being examined at the hospital, I was diagnosed with a concussion.

It’s now been several days, and although I’m slowly recovering, the pain in my neck has been much worse than I expected. Some days it’s difficult just to get up and move around normally.

It was a reminder that life can change in a single second, even during something as simple and joyful as playing a game with a friend.

So please, take care of yourselves. Be kind to your body, don’t ignore pain, and cherish your health. It truly is one of the greatest gifts we have.

I also wanted to let you know about my plans after this campaign.

I’ll be taking a creative break, and I most likely won’t be launching another Kickstarter project this year.

My dream is to make my next campaign something truly special—larger, more ambitious, and more professionally produced than anything I’ve created before. To make that happen, I need time to learn, plan, and better understand every aspect of running a project on that scale. It will be my most challenging project yet, but I want to do it the right way.

So if you’ve been thinking about backing The Gentle Tales Tarot, this may be my last Kickstarter for quite some time.

Thank you for believing in my work, for encouraging me through every step of this journey, and for helping bring this little fairytale into the world.

I appreciate every single one of you more than words can express.

With love,

Dasha 💛

✨ Project We Love ✨
4 months ago – Mon, Jun 22, 2026 at 03:29:39 PM

Today I received the wonderful news that The Gentle Tales Tarot has been selected as a Project We Love by Kickstarter.

To be honest, the past few weeks have been an emotional roller coaster. Creating a deck is one thing. Sharing it with the world is something completely different.

There were moments when I felt excited, moments when I felt discouraged, and many moments where I questioned myself and wondered whether I was doing enough.

So receiving this badge means a lot to me. It feels like a reminder that even when progress feels slow, the work still matters.

No matter where this campaign finishes, I am incredibly proud of what we created together. Holding the sample deck in my hands for the first time was one of the happiest moments of my creative life.

I also wanted to share something personal.

After this campaign, I plan to take a creative break from launching new decks. I have many ideas, stories, and concepts that I want to explore, but I want to give myself the time to create something even more ambitious and meaningful.

Because of that, I honestly don’t know when my next project will launch. It could take many months before I return with a new deck.

For now, my focus is on making The Gentle Tales Tarot the very best it can be.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

And thank you for helping this little fairytale find its way into the world. ✨🍄🌙

A Little Reading from The Gentle Tales Tarot ✨🍄
4 months ago – Fri, Jun 19, 2026 at 09:10:50 PM

Hello everyone,

Today I wanted to share a small reading from The Gentle Tales Tarot and give you another look at the deck that so many of you have helped bring to life.

For this reading, I pulled:

✨ Eight of Swords
✨ King of Wands
✨ Four of Wands
✨ Five of Cups

The message felt surprisingly fitting for this stage of the campaign.

The Eight of Swords reminds us that sometimes we become so focused on obstacles that we forget how many possibilities still exist around us. The path forward may not always be obvious, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

The King of Wands speaks about vision, determination, and believing in something before everyone else can see it. Creating a tarot deck is a little like that. It starts as an idea, a sketch, a dream, and slowly becomes something real.

The Four of Wands is a card of celebration, community, and shared milestones. Every pledge, comment, message, and share has helped make this project possible. This campaign is not just my achievement - it belongs to all of us who believe in bringing more beauty, wonder, and storytelling into the tarot world.

The Five of Cups offers an important reminder not to focus only on what isn’t perfect. There will always be challenges, delays, and things that don’t go exactly as planned. But there is also so much to be grateful for, and so much still waiting ahead.

As I hold the physical deck sample in my hands, I feel incredibly grateful for your support. Seeing The Gentle Tales Tarot become a real deck after months of work has been an emotional experience, and I can’t wait to share the finished version with all of you.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

🌿 The Gentle Tales Tarot continues to move toward production.
✨ Silver foil edges have been approved.
🍄 The mystery card remains one of my favorite surprises hidden inside the deck.
📖 The guidebook is complete and ready for print.

Thank you for helping bring this magical little world to life.

With gratitude,

Dasha
Creator of The Gentle Tales Tarot

The Sample Has Arrived! 🌿✨
4 months ago – Wed, Jun 17, 2026 at 04:22:59 PM

Hello, my friends!

I finally received the sample deck today!

And of course, the first thing I did was grab my camera and start filming. 😄

I recorded a video where I open the deck for the very first time, remove the shrink wrap, and see the finished cards together with all of you. No rehearsals, no second takes — just a genuine first reaction.

I should probably apologize in advance because I was definitely a little nervous… and my hands were sweating like crazy. 😂

I’ve added that video to the top of the campaign page so everyone can watch the moment with me.

Since Kickstarter limits video length, I also filmed a second, much longer walkthrough showing every card in the deck and uploaded it to YouTube:

🎥 Full Deck Walkthrough:

And honestly?

I’m in love.

This is my very first deck with silver foil edges, and it looks absolutely magical in person.

The silver catches the light beautifully, the colors came out exactly as I hoped, the box quality is wonderful, and the artwork feels even better in print than it did on my screen.

When I started looking through the cards, I did what I always do when a project finally becomes real…

I cried. 😂

Because somehow the finished deck exceeded all of my expectations.

The box.
The colors.
The card stock.
The silver edges.
The artwork.

Everything came together even better than I imagined.

I truly can’t wait for you to hold it in your own hands.

If you watch either of the videos, I’d love to hear what you think in the comments. Your feedback is one of my favorite parts of this whole journey.

Thank you for being here and sharing this magical adventure with me. 🌿🍄✨
