Card decks are a very popular product, with many Vervante customers creating their own versions to use for so many fun and valuable ideas like tarot, recipes, fitness, mantras, study guides, writing prompts, daily prayers, and more. We know you love card decks. We’ve shared lots of ideas in the past for creating and using card decks, and now want to talk about the step-by-step process to follow for creating a card deck of your own. Step #1: Card size and specs First, you need to decide your card’s physical specifications. When we say custom, we mean it, and offer lots of variations you can use to create the perfect card deck for your purposes. We can print card decks: In any size Any number of cards in each deck Variety of paper options With square or rounded corners Each card can have unique designs on either side Color or black & white (or both) Step #2: Get a Quote Use the “Get a Quote” link on our website home page or send an email to [email protected] sharing the specs for your new card deck to receive a free quote for printing and production costs. If you send an email, please include the following information: Size of cards Square corners or rounded corners How many cards in the deck Color, black-and-white, or a combination of both Step #3: Design Now it’s time to create your card deck masterpiece. You can hire a professional graphic designer, or you can do it yourself using a program like Canva. If you need a template to work with, we offer free downloads from our Templates page for card decks and tuck boxes. (Be sure to click on the small PDF icon on the list to access the template.)   Step #4: Sending print files Once your design files are ready, you can upload the print-ready PDF to your Vervante author account. For card decks, we need one PDF for the entire card deck. For example, if your card deck consists of 40 cards, we need an 80-page PDF. Once you have your print files ready you can upload these from the Send Files link via your Vervante Author Dashboard. Our team will download the files, review your specification document and let you know if we have any questions. If there are no issues with your files, we will add the card decks to your Vervante Author Account. You will receive an email notifying you that your card decks are now available for ordering. We have an expert guide detailing these steps and more, “How to Create Custom-printed Card Decks,” on the Vervante website Expert Guide page. You can also watch videos with card deck ideas and instructions on the Vervante Video Vault page. Step #5: Packaging & Presentation Great card decks deserve great packaging. We can package and present your custom card decks in unique ways that increase their value in the eyes of customers. Packaging ideas: Custom printed tuck box Custom printed rigid 2-piece box Plastic “pop up” box Cello sleeve Ring Drawstring bag Metal tin Plastic envelope The custom printed boxes are available in minimum order quantities of 250.  You can send us drawstring bags, metal tins or other creative containers for card deck presentation and storage.  For an even more creative presentation, you can send us items such as crystals or stones that can be packaged and shipped to customers with the cards. Need to include instructions or a guidebook with your card deck? We can do that too. We can print small perfect-bound or accordion-folding instructional booklets the same size as your deck to fit in the same packaging.   If this has inspired you to create your own unique card deck, we're here to answer any questions and help you get started right away.

We're constantly amazed by the clever, unique, brilliant and beautiful books and products our customers create. Today we’d like to introduce you to Rhonda Hull, Ph.D., a seasoned author, artist, speaker and guide. Through the conscious use of the energy found in words+art+collaboration, Rhonda is a powerful advocate of whole-hearted living and to support her message she has created a series of Keepsake Treasures products that are easy to share, easy to carry, and always stay in your heart.  The story of Rhonda's Keepsake Treasures Q: What inspired you to create these products? I have long been some form of teacher, mentor and guide, but neglected to see my lettering and calligraphy as a worthwhile part of who I am and what I offer.  Walking the path of cancer with my barely 2-year-old grand-nephew (now 14), followed by becoming actively involved in the ongoing journey of my grandson when diagnosed with autism at age 3 (now 13), and then facing my own health challenges as a result of the stress of it all, I learned the power and importance of self-care, and in having a circle of ones who you love and who love you unconditionally. I learned that the things we think are so important become less so, and that love really is the answer to every question. Every moment can be a keepsake moment, even the messy ones.  I knew it was time to bring my art forward as a way to touch hearts and make a difference. The importance of savoring even the bittersweet moments is what I attempt to reflect in my products, dedicated to uplift and offer encouragement to those maneuvering the meaningful and messy moments of life. Q: What advice would you give other aspiring authors or creatives? Dare to believe it’s possible. Take at least one step beyond your comfort zone. Dream not only outside the box, but as if there is no box. Get clear on the people you want to serve.  It was amazing to me how by daring to hope, and ask, and take risks, and believe it was somehow possible, be willing explore pooling the talents of other creatives, and then leaning on the guidance and experience of Vervante, even more than I could imagine became possible. As a result, I found the courage to set my creativity free! Q: What do you love about the Keepsake Treasures products? They are filled with colorful energy captured in a variety of forms that expand my ability to touch hearts! A long time ago I took on the belief that I could never succeed as an artist. Vervante offered me the framework through which I could see beyond that limiting belief. Using words+art+collaboration transformed into variety of product formats, I was easily able to expand my product line and began to see the value in using my creative inklings to make a difference - and an income! About Keepsake Treasures The trickiest journey of a lifetime is only 16 inches, the adventure from your head to your heart. “But, where do I start,” you may wonder, and, “how is it possible for me to feel so easily overwhelmed, so little meaning, and all alone in a world where I am elbow-to-elbow with over 7 billion people?” In a world of too much ‘stuff’ and too little time, we can loose sight of the essential things that matter most; the things that keep us connected to our own heart and to the people we love, confident that every moment matters, despite our circumstances. Combining art+words+collaboration, the keepsake products at Rhonda's website, are infused with love and designed to keep us ever-aware that every moment is full of miracles, even the messy ones. Whether something simple that offers acknowledgement to someone you love (My Little Red Book), uplifting comments and profound questions to help you maneuver through tough times (Healing Heart Cards), or daily encouragement to focus on the power of presence and possibilities (Yes, And the Adventure Continues Playbook/Any-Time Day Timer), these products are an invitation for us all to make every moment a keepsake moment. Thanks to words, wisdom, and collaborative art skillfully brought to life through the craftsmanship of Vervante Press, RhondaHull.com offers a life-line of creative energy, and heartfelt encouragement on your adventure from your head to your heart. Come dare to make every moment a keepsake moment!

Vervante • April 16, 2019

We're constantly amazed by the clever, unique, brilliant and beautiful books and products our customers create. Today we’d like to introduce you to Shira Gura, Creator of The S.T.U.C.K. Method®, author of the award-winning book Getting unSTUCK: Five Simple Steps to Emotional Well-Being, and host of the Getting Unstuck podcast. Shira shares her inspiration for creating a unique card deck that works in harmony with her book and in helping people to embrace her teachings and get unstuck.  The story behind Shira's Consideration Cards Q: What inspired you to create this card deck? I actually originally had an idea to write another book, "365 Considerations," but then I realized a few things: a) card decks are "in" now, b) using cards is a unique and different way to work with Getting Unstuck than a book, c) card decks are portable, accessible, and effective in any moment, whereas books are more of a "shelf" thing once you are done reading them, and d) they would be great giveaways or add value to a course I offer. Q: What advice would you give for others creating card decks (or any other type of product)? Varying your products is important. It helps build your brand and it gives the impression to your customer that your brand is serious and growing.   Q: What do you love about this product? I love that the cards are versatile, that I can give them as gifts, that they can be used in a variety of ways (both personally and professionally), and best of all, I love that people are buying them!! About Consideration Cards The S.T.U.C.K. Method® is a self-coaching tool that empowers you to get “unstuck” from emotionally challenging situations in your life and in your relationships. There are five steps to the method: S=Stop, T=Tell, U=Uncover, C=Consider, and K=OK. While the steps are not necessarily always easy to implement when in the midst of a “stuck” situation, they are simple and illustrate the possibility of being able to flow from a place of emotional turmoil and distress, to a place of clarity and inner peace in any moment. This deck includes 52 concise, yet powerful, Consideration Cards as a support to get you unSTUCK. The 4th step in The S.T.U.C.K. Method®, “C” for “consider,” guides you to become less reactive and more deliberate in challenging life situations by pondering alternate viewpoints. The Consideration Cards are meant to be used in conjunction with The S.T.U.C.K. Method® to help you broaden your perspective, heighten your curiosity, and reflect on suggestions from an objective source. When you are struggling to cope, these cards can guide and support you, and prompt you to redirect your focus. Getting unstuck is not a one-stop process, but rather a skill that is cultivated through continuous repeated practice.

If you're looking for a stand-out product that will make a big statement this year - consider card decks. If you like the idea, but aren't sure how to get started, we've got your answers. One of our most popular products, custom-designed card decks are a fun and valuable  product authors and entrepreneurs are using with great success for increasing revenue, expanding their audience, and promoting or adding value for existing books, products or programs. And like many of our other products, card decks can be printed on demand or in bulk, held and then drop shipped on demand. We’re not talking about playing cards here, but creative and highly-customizable card decks that will definitely stand out from the crowd. Card decks can be any size, any number of cards in a pack, and each card can have its own unique design or message. Card decks can be complementary to an existing product. For example, let's say you are the author of a how-to book and each chapter describes a specific topic, mantra or task. You can create a card deck that contains each one of those nuggets of wisdom to be used in conjunction with your book. In fact, many of the card decks we help authors create are like this - created from content that has been repurposed from books or other products. In this example, you can now sell your book and the matching card deck as a package. This elevates your book above any competition from other traditionally-published books because you are now offering a package or kit with much more value. Creative ways Vervante customers have used card decks include: Affirmation cards Tarot cards, angel cards, goddess cards, hero cards, etc. Desktop calendars with daily, weekly or monthly messages Health and fitness motivation cards Study guides for training or certification programs Educational cards for adults and children Writing prompts and journaling inspirations Recipes and meal plans Spiritual and inspirational cards Financial, budgeting or money-management Bonus content for books such as discussion questions or character cards As you can see, there is no limit to the creative ways card decks can be used in your business. Once you’ve created a card deck, you’ll be amazed at how versatile they are as marketing and sales tools. Yes, you can sell them as standalone products online and in brick-and-mortar stores. But you can also use them at events for back-of-room sales, as gifts, as part of a collection of themed products, for raffles or swag bags, as incentives to boost sales of books or other products, or to support masterminds, coaching or training programs. A few reasons to use Vervante for your card deck: We can print card decks on demand – something most other printers don’t offer. When we say custom, we mean it. You can print card decks: In any size Any number of cards in each deck Variety of paper options With square or rounded corners Each card can have unique designs on either side Color or black-and-white (or both) Gloss or matte finish We also offer special packaging and fulfillment services, so your card decks can be printed and shipped with other items such as books, small booklets, journals, workbooks, crystals, tin boxes, nutritional supplements, etc. Speaking of packaging – we can also package and present your custom card decks in unique ways that increase their value in the eyes of customers. We can print custom tuck boxes any size to accommodate the deck. For standard size playing cards (2.5 x 3.5), we have a clear, 2-piece hard plastic case, and for desktop presentation we have a clear display case that holds up to 13 cards. For even more creative presentation solutions, you can send us items such as organza, velvet or other drawstring bags, tin boxes, etc. as well as complementary items such as crystals or stones that can be packaged and shipped to customers as a set. Need to include instructions or a guidebook with your card deck? We can do that too. We can print small perfect-bound or accordion-folding instructional booklets the same size as your deck to fit in the same packaging. If this has inspired you to create your own unique card deck in 2019, we're here to answer any questions and help you get started right away.

We're constantly amazed by the clever, unique, brilliant and beautiful books and products our customers create. So much that we're putting them in the spotlight to share the details of their creations and the inspiration behind them.    About the Passion Planner, Angel Oracle Cards, Inspirational Art Cards & Postcards I have always loved art and crafts and have used art as a connector in programs for my 5000+ tribe of women called the CampExperience™ Network. Before August of 2017, I would consider myself a casual crafter with some bead jewelry, collage and some sewing.  And then life changed forever. In August of 2017 I participated in a week-long art retreat and immersed myself in learning some techniques.  My basic skills became faces and mixed-media pieces. The art that was in my soul came forth!  Soon I was diving in to mixed-media as a bliss-filled escape and creating “inspiration art” for fun! It was the partnership with Vervante that really set my art free to serve the world!  Their team helped me not only produce my original idea of a Daily Insight Card Deck featuring my 36 pieces, but also led me to creating a Daily Planner, greeting cards, postcards and hardcover journals. The response has been fantastic! My CampExperience™ Network tribe has been buying my inspiration art for family and friends, my images are perfect for my marketing, and with Vervante I am on Amazon!  My parents are so proud! The story behind Betsy’s products Q: What inspired you to create these products? A: I have been an event planner since high school and a public speaker, traveling to 20+ countries to uplift and educate my guests. In 2006 we began the CampExperience Network  consisting of 5000+ women gathering for uplifting events and positive messages. In August of 2017 the message just came to my canvas and I wanted to add it to the mix for supporting people to live lives of passion and purpose. Q: What advice would you give for others creating products like these? A: I would say just CREATE and see what happens.  I did not set out to create these products.  I let art out of my soul and the products became a natural way to share it!  Take a class and let one of the thousands of experts help you unlock your own inner talent.  And have FUN every day! Q: What do you love about these products? A: I actually cannot believe what has come forth when I let go and enjoyed the journey of the art. Mixed media art is messy and you just let go of the outcome, add more texture and color and see what emerges. I just love to see my art and products in the world and hear the feedback of my customers who LOVE the Sisters and friends. Learn more For a peek inside Betsy's planner, click HERE.

Making a memorable connection with your clients and customers is one of the keys to building long-term growth and profits. But finding new, interesting, and unique ways to make those connections can be hard. If you’re on board with this idea, and looking for something new to give your customers that “wow, I love what they are doing” feeling, how about creating a unique thank you card that you can include in all your packages? These are not your normal thank you cards. In fact, we also often call them “mission statement” or “mantra” cards because so many we’ve seen include these types of messages. They can be printed any size and shape, but generally range from playing card size to postcard size. They are printed on heavy stock, can be on both sides, and in color or black & white. And here’s the fun part… They can say anything you want. From a photo with a simple thank you, to a full-length mission statement, mantra, or take-action message, you can share a personal, intimate glimpse into you and your company in a way that can create instant connections. We’re impressed with other companies we’ve seen do this, excited about the possibilities, and just had to share this with you. If you’re not sure what to write, here’s some ideas we’ve seen and loved: Start with a simple thank-you for the purchase Share your mantra or mission statement Include quotes or inspirations that are meaningful to you, your company, or the product/service you provide Offer a free download, future discounts, or contact information to connect live Include a free sticker or bookmark Invite them to a “secret” page on your site or a forum for customers only Use a fun headshot or action photo, scenes from your work, or anything colorful that catches the eye while staying true to your brand The key is to keep it simple, be real, and share something you know will resonate with your audience. Like we said, there’s a lot of power in these little cards. We’d love to help you harness it! If you’re interested in creating a batch of fun thank-you cards to include with the packaging of your Vervante-created products, let us know at [email protected]. We can give you a free quote for creating the cards, and let you know how we can include them in all of your future mailings. You provide the design, we’ll get it to your customers, as easy as that.

Sending someone a hand-written card or letter is becoming a lost art. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We love getting cards in the mail – and we bet you do too. A card with a hand-written note in it makes those who receive it feel special. Like they are worth that bit of extra effort it takes, versus a quick text or email. Creating custom greeting cards that carry your brand or logo are a great way to show your clients, customers and colleagues that they are extra special to you. They are easy to create, easy to brand, and make a great positive impression at a very budget-friendly cost. We can help you create your own greeting cards – or let you add your logo/brand to ones we’ve already created. Like these gorgeous, glossy 5x7 folded greeting cards featuring 10 different designs and with the ability to add your logo to the back free of charge. Each card is designed in a variety of colors and patterns and features positive messages great for any occasion (to see all of our designs, just click on the image at left, or click HERE.) And each set of cards comes in a white box with a clear lid to show off what’s inside. If you love this idea and want to order your own, here's what you get: A set of 10 blank inside greeting cards, 10 white envelopes, packaged in a white stationary box with clear lid for $9.65 printed on demand. And we'll add your logo to the back of the cards at no charge. Cards like these are great for your own use, can be packaged with other products you currently sell, or used as gifts, prizes and awards that are guaranteed to make someone’s day. If you’ve got greeting cards on your mind now, and would like to talk to us about our ready-to-brand cards or creating ones of your very own, we’re here to help! Send us an email at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to send you a free quote and all the details to get your cards created. Here’s to products that make people smile!
