Be prepared for the upcoming valentine day.
Hope you like it :)

It's not a new deck, but it's playing cards related.

It's not really a new deck release, but I'll allow it since it's a new release of something that's heavily playing-card related. In this sense, it's no different than discussing AIP bottles or Porper clips.
Congratulations on getting on the Wire!

I think this is really cool. And you released it at the perfect time too!
-
Congratulations Phantom1412 :D The roses are beautiful.
The bouquet in your avatar always intrigued me, and I'm glad you shared this with us. Thank you!
-
I thought they were awesome a year ago when you first showed us them, and I still think they're awesome now. Good job and congrats on getting on The Wire :)
-
Thank you very much for every comments :)
I'm really glad that it's approved before valentine day.

Hey, what did Lee Asher say when he got his?

Hey, what did Lee Asher say when he got his?
He said he like them :)
I asked for his signature and he kindly send me some few Jerry's card together for me to make some roses. Maybe you saw the Jerry's nugget rose I posted on my facebook.

I missed that! I have to look! Any J-Nuggs fiend would freak out if they saw that!
EDIT: I just checked! Awesome! Post those rose photos here! The Ornates look great as well.

I posted this on FB and a few buddies of mine loved it. :)
-
This is a great way to recycle worn out cards :) awwwwwwwww
-
This is awesome!
I will be buying soon for Valentines for my Girlfriend :')
She's used to me doing odd things! XD
I seriously love this!

-
With worn cards? Heck, for Valentine's I'm using an Ornate or seasons! :) Thank you so much for this. Unfortunately I missed the original free youtube video you had made... But I'm definitely going to buy this, and I'm happy to support your craft ;)

Congrats on being featured on expose!

When I first started posting on this forum (which was not very long ago, really), I saw your avatar and thought it was so cool. I showed it to the guy I was dating (since we happened to be chatting at the time). Today, he gave me five of these roses made of playing cards!
He made five of them because five is my favorite number, and also added five leaves to each rose. He used the the five of spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds for the outer part of the roses and the four of spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds for the inner part of the roses (four is his favorite number). He also made sure to pair the five of spades and the four of diamonds together, since the five of spades is the card assigned to me based on my date of birth (March 5th), and the four of diamonds is the card assigned to him based on his date of birth (March 19th). The fifth rose was made of the an ace and a three card. The ace for the current month and the three for the month of March (since we're both born in March). He then tied all five roses together with a turquoise-colored bow because it's my favorite color.
He told me afterwards that he Googled how to make these roses and found your video for sale at The Wire, so he bought it, bought the materials and practiced making them. I think he really wanted to give me these roses because he knows I'm obsessed with playing cards and these would mean much more than a regular bouquet of flowers.
After he presented me with the roses, he asked me to be his girlfriend. He specifically waited to ask me today because it's the 5th of January. I'm pretty sure you can guess how I responded. ;D

That's a very sweet story, Sher. :)) As a card collector, it looks like you found a keeper!
-
Ohhh cool. I've always wondered how you did them. I hope they're easy to make. I'm not very crafty and I might be making a bunch.

A JNugg rose with green 605 petals. I love 'em!

Nice Lee!
I can already hear the Collectors fallout "Blasphemy" for folding up a Nugget!! I remember seeing Phantom's Roses at the beginning of the year with her ORNATE versions. Very creative idea!
Thanks, Randy
-
Yeah, I've made tons of these. I make them the way Lee's was, with cards as the leaves too. Once you get the basic idea down, it's fairly easy. I had girls at school see me with a deck practicing something and ask if I could make a rose for them right then.
-
Well kudos to the "New" boyfriend for going the extra mile Sher ;) Like Don said, he's a keeper!
Those are very cool!
-
I have to do this for the GF now. She likes yellow rosses. Any suggestions on a bright yellow deck? I'm thinking the green Erdnase 216's for the leaves.

Thanks Randy. Yeah, I know what you're saying but these are pretty unique and awesome. Those collectors will have to tough this one out.

Nothing says love like some yellow GNuggs!

There's the yellow Bikes, and there's also the yellow and reverse yellow decks form Magic Makers.

Congratulations Sher :D

Two weeks before valentines.
Last year I published this on the wire. And I got really amazing feedbacks.

If you don't have ideas for valentine gifts yet, would you try this? ;)
Just wanna give a little bump for people who might never heard about this before.
-
Thanks for the reminder, have been meaning to get your video for a while now! Currently downloading... ;D
-
Good bump phantom,
I just downloaded as well. Plan to use t11 Love Me for the rose petals, and green Erdnase 216's for the leaves
t11 has 2 Love Me decks for $10 Valentine's Special
-
Once you get the hang of it, they're really quite easy to make. I'd suggest practicing on an old deck you don't care about first. Here's a dozen roses I did out of a Love Me deck, I used regular fake plant stuffs for the leaves.
