The Stretch Tarot Story
When I first got interested in Tarot, I was amazed by the variety of different decks that were available. I loved how artists infused their personal styles with the traditional symbolism of the cards, and I decided that I would try making my own.
The Stretch Tarot was created on card cut from cereal boxes on the bedroom floor of my childhood home. This was back in 2014, and I shared the cards on Tumblr where the project gained a following. After funding through Kickstarter, the first printing of the deck was released in 2016.
Selling out multiple print runs, The Stretch Tarot has sold over 1,000 copies and I couldn't be more proud of its success. What started out as a teenage art project has flourised into something so much more.
While I no longer keep stock of the original Stretch Tarot, it is currently available to order on MPC Marketplace in two editions.
Praise for The Stretch Tarot
"One of my favourite decks of all time."
@whiterabbitoracles
"Love Stretch Tarot, it's my go-to deck! The imagery is beautiful. There is endless inspiration in every card."
Grace @grace.peisker
"I remember backing The Stretch Tarot on Kickstarter forever ago. It's one of my favourite decks."
Anthony @anthonyreadsthecards
"I have had The Stretch Tarot for a couple of years now and I love it. It is unique, weird and quirky but also very well executed. It is a deck that is suitable for experienced Tarot readers as well as new readers thanks to the keywords on the cards, which are also very well chosen for each card. I have had particularly good results with ancestral work and working with it to communicate with the other side. The deck is very good quality, the card stock is great and it has probably my favourite back design of all my decks."
Moran @star_seed_tarot
"I have been really blown over by the deck's incredible imagery. Truly a treat to finally have this deck to work with."
Sarah @stunnedbydegrees
"I've been reading tarot for 40+ years and this is the most compelling deck I've seen."

Kickstarter Credits
I’d like to thank the 191 brilliant people who backed the first edition of the deck in 2016. Your generous support made all of this possible.
