I’m afraid I can’t be of help as I have thought about modding some of my decks for a long time but I am scared of messing up. However, I have reblogged quite a few deck modifications in the past so I hope that someone more knowledgeable sees this post and shares some tips 💖

Note: I will be adding the replies to this post

@paigedoestarot said: If you can afford it, Sharpie metallics will work a LOT better than cheap metallic markers. For black edges, Sharpies are best. For any other color, Crayola has treated my decks just fine.

@awitchandhersecrets said: I saw a mod once where they colored the edges with a stamp pad, so you just ran the card’s edge along the pad instead of worrying about the tip of a marker. Looked easier. Only tip was try not to do too many at once. One at a time on the pad worked great, two worked too, but failed once you tried edging too many. Black looked amazing but I can imagine metallic being gorgeous too.

@resonance-of-libra said: There are metallic stamp pads that work, and ones that don’t. I know. I found the ones that don’t and my deck rubbed off all the ink and smelled funny for months and now there’s just … dirty looking stained edges. I dint know what metallic ones work though!

@coffeeandtarot said: Get archival ink pads. I have a “vintage black” (black with gold metallic shimmer) that looks beautiful and the ink hasn’t rubbed off at all.

Hello, Nia. Good to hear everything’s been pretty good. We all live with so much stress nowadays. Exercising (even if it’s only 30 minutes or 15 if you don’t have that much time) does help. Also, if you do drink coffee, try to avoid it as much as possible. (Reducing caffeine and sugar helps a lot). Or you could also write in your journal, take a long baths and light scented candles. That should help. My week was good. Tomorrow I don’t have classes so you know, my soul is screaming “thank you!!!”. Well, I hope you don’t find me rude or something like that, but I don’t really like sharing that kind of information. I’m so sorry, Nia. Nothing personal. But thank you for sending this. And hope you have an amazing, less stressful week. xo
