Limited Edition - 78 Tarot 10th Anniversary Deck - Celebration of Global Tarot Art

Hello everyone,

This is the scheduled monthly update.

Production for this project remains paused due to current U.S. import tariffs, which continue to make manufacturing financially unviable. There has been no change in tariff conditions since the last update, and I do not have the personal funds to move forward under current costs.

I want to address communication as well. While questions are understandable, repeated pressure, hostile comments, or personal attacks are not acceptable and do not change the situation. This project is being handled responsibly, and harassment will not speed up production.

I am actively monitoring conditions and will move forward as soon as manufacturing becomes viable. There is no new information to share at this time.

The next update will be posted next month, or sooner if circumstances change.

Thank you to those who continue to communicate respectfully and patiently.

Kayti

I recorded a video for you, I think it’s the easiest way to say all I need to update you about! If you need anything please email me at [email protected]  I do apologize for the cross-posting I’m just a busy momma trying to save some time 💕

They won’t let me embed it here so here is the link!

Dear friends,

Right now we are still in a holding pattern because of the tariffs. A U.S. appeals court recently ruled that most of the Trump-era tariffs were not legal, but it delayed that decision from taking effect until October 14, 2025 while the case goes to the Supreme Court. Until the Court rules, the tariffs are still in place and everything I need to ship remains stuck in this uncertainty.

On top of that, the government could shut down as soon as tomorrow if Congress cannot agree on a budget, which would add even more delays.

Here is what I want you to know:

Most importantly, I want to thank you so much for hanging in there not just with me but with all the creators who have found themselves in this position. We appreciate every single bit of support you are giving us right now, and we will absolutely repay the kindness. I will update you again soon as I make progress and know more.

With gratitude,

Kayti

Hi everyone,

I wanted to give you a quick update.

Right now tariffs are at 30% until at least November. That means I will need around $9,000 just to cover the customs fees to bring the decks into New York. This does not include production or shipping costs, which have already been handled. 

I am also talking with our printer about the possibility of putting a contract in place that would cap my responsibility at the current 30% rate, even if tariffs go higher. At this point it is only a discussion, but I am doing everything I can to find some stability.

I have poured everything I have, time, energy, and money, into keeping 78 Tarot going, and I will continue to do so for as long as I am able. Summer is always slow for small businesses, but this one has been especially difficult for Etsy sellers like us.

I know delays are frustrating, and I truly appreciate your patience. This has been one of the hardest challenges I have faced, and it has taken a real toll. Anyone who knows me knows I always deliver, often even early, so this situation has been extremely tough for me.

I will continue to keep you updated, and I will share news as soon as I hear back from the printer.

Thank you again to everyone who has shown kindness and support. It means the world and truly keeps me moving forward.

With gratitude,
 Kayti

I am sorry this is basically a cross post from our other campaign that we are trying to fulfill so forgive me if you see it twice I just want to be sure I’m updating regularly with full transparency 💕 

First, I truly want to thank everyone again for their support, incredible kindness, and understanding. I can’t say enough how much it means not just to me, but to all creators navigating hard times right now.

I don’t have any new updates on the tariffs yet, but I’m continuing to work on ways to raise the funds we need.

Selling the inventory we currently have doesn’t leave us with anything extra. This is a passion project, which means we don’t profit. In a way, it’s like a non-profit. Everything we earn goes straight into fulfillment, storage, advertising, fees, and the various subscriptions we need just to keep things running. I want to be fully transparent about that. From the start, this has always been about the joy of making meaningful, beautiful art together.

Thank you for putting your trust and love in us. It means the world. I wish there were more ways to show how deeply grateful I am that you’re still here cheering for us. I’ll continue to share updates every few weeks and truly hope I have good news to report soon. 

Kayti
