Hello Faunabelle Friends! 🐰✨
As we get ready to fulfill our promise to you in delivering our decks and rewards, we don't want our relationship to end. You're very special to us! If it wasn't for your support, we would not have been able to midwife Faunabelle from the magical realm of imagination into the very real present and tangible world. Once you have your decks and rewards, we will no longer be providing updates here on Kickstarter.
However... we will be sharing news, goodies and developments via our newsletter! We plan to grow Faunabelle, adding on a mindfulness and tarot-learning component if there's interest. So we hope you'll come along for the ride by signing up for our newsletter if you haven't already. The first dispatch will leave the Faunabelle coop on Sunday morning!
To give you a preview, we've made a 2-minute morning meditation just for you:
This first newsletter also includes a fun "Spot the Difference" exercise for you and your kids to print out and enjoy. It's short, bright and sweet.
You can cancel any time, but we hope you'll stay with us until the cows come home and one jumps over the moon. 🐮🌙
Lots of love, and magic! ✨

Hello Faunabelle Friends! 🐰✨
Good news!!! Faunabelle Tarot passed the Children’s Product Certificate inspection with flying colors! This means that the deck complies with all safety rules applicable to children. With the inspection crossed off our list, we're deep into the printing process which will take the entire month of July.
Once the decks are printed and boxed, they will set out on an ocean voyage from China to the United States East Coast. Can you imagine how exhilarated they are, all shiny, new and dressed up, crossing the Atlantic together?! 🎩
The actual deck!
After passing through Customs, they will work their way to our fulfillment partner where they will join the other Faunabelle goodies waiting for them: totes, velvet card bags, enamel pins, stickers, postcards and journals! At this time, we expect this reunion to occur the end of September. Your decks and rewards should arrive the last days of September or the first week of October.
Thank you so so so much for your patience and for sharing our excitement! This is our first round at creating a deck, manufacturing rewards, shipping, customs, and fulfillment! As you can imagine, it's been an exhilarating learning process! Wow wow wow!!! 🤪
Two more things...
If you backed at the Hierophant level, Juanita will be reaching out to you in September to book your tarot reading.

Hello lovely Faunabelle Friends! 🐰✨
Last update, we shared the decks would be arriving at the end of August. But since the mention was at the very end of the update, it's possible some of you missed it. So here it is again, up front and centre: The decks and rewards will arrive the end of August and/or the first week of September!
The due date is later than we first anticipated for a number of reasons:
During the color checks, changes needed to be made to the cards, pushing back delivery by one week.
Updates to the box had us nerding out on dimensions and pomegranate art! Push back = 2 weeks!
We also realised that we need a special certification that shows all the materials used are not harmful to kiddos = 1.5 weeks.
So if you need to update your delivery address, easy peasy. Just go to https://faunabelletarot.backerkit.com/ and update your survey. If you have any questions, email us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help because we love you and are so thankful for your support! 😚
In other VERY EXCITING news, most of the rewards have been completed! Our enamel pins are getting ready to ship. Aren't the High Priestess pins cute?!!
AND this video had us squealing with delight! Look at those printers and cards!! 👀
We'll be sending our next update mid July. This one will include two special announcements we're so looking forward to sharing with you!
Lots of love, and magic! ✨

Hello Faunabelle Friends! 🐰✨
We haven't forgotten about you! We've been working hard with our printer to finalise every little detail and we're super excited to report that we're almost there!
Today we thought we'd share a few of the proofs we've received from our printer so you can see what we've been up to! Here are the cards, we love how they all look together!
Proofs for the deck!
We've been going over every single last detail on our High Priestess tarot box too! Given all the love we've poured into the artwork and meanings, we wanted to make sure they were stored in a charming keepsake box that reflected the contents within.
Here are some of the goodies we've included:
Embossed stars and moon!
A middle section that feels like braille, making it a delightful tactile sensation.
Raised gold edges on same middle section!
Gorgeous High Priestess and pomegranate art on the front, and back!
An official barcode!
Box Proofs!
Guidebook Proof!
eBook Version
In addition, not only will you receive the print guidebook, but we've created an eBook version as well. We're still figuring out how to deliver the eBook to everyone, so if you have a suggestion on how to do that please email us at [email protected] Or, just leave a comment in this update. The eBook is phone friendly which means you can pull a card and look up the meaning on your phone if you don't have the print guidebook with you.
Notebooks,Stickers& Totes
And there's more! Take a look at these cute Tarot Journey Notebooks! We love how they've turned out with our little Bunny, ambassador of The Fool energy. We hope you do too!
The Jumbo Major Arcana stickers have been approved as well as have the Hanged Possum totes. They're being made as we speak!
Stickers
Delivery
The only thing we're not so excited to report, is that our delivery date has been pushed back by one month. The printing process involved a few changes that have slowed down production, but hopefully you won't be too disappointed to wait just a tiny bit longer for all this goodness!!
