NEW DECK -- Aurum from Encarded

[Paul Carpenter]

Just ordered a bunch of Aurum stuff. Can't wait to get them. The decks look beautiful!

Hey Paul, I'm the one who ordered for delivery to New Zealand. Please pack them well 

Thanks for the order, I'll pack things as well as I possibly can, promise.

I just got the sample production tucks for each edition. They are lovely, you guys will love them. See more at: http://encarded.com/aurum-promo/

Very nice!

I didn't realize the Purple Tuck Box even had the Diecut on the back. Bonus!!
I can see why they limited the production for the Laser Cut version to 75.
That is a very detailed Dieline that probably couldn't have been done the traditional way.

thanks, Randy

Thanks Randy. On the laser ones, I actually had a much more complex design and that one couldn't be done even with the laser. It took about 4 revisions before we arrived at something that could be laser cut and not be so fragile it would tear immediately. Lots of experimenting for that one little feature...

I gotta say, this deck's looking better and better to me every time I see it.  I'm just hoping that my wallet agrees sometime soon!

I got one Aurum deck today and it's looking very nice. The borders came out very thin, just as I'd wanted. USPCC also sent me a gift of 1 gilded Aurum deck, which I was not expecting! It's quite the little jewel.

Won't be long now.

Man, that gilded deck looks nice!   That was pretty nice of USPCC to do that for you.   Im sure you were really surprised and exicted.

Thanks Alex, I did see that go through. Those decks will be packaged up very securely for sure!

3 aurum decks plus shipping was $40 and some change for me. 3 sultan treasuries plus shipping was $44 and change.
 

you can leave a bad rating on ebay for a seller that charges extra in shipping to raise profits. Unfortunately I can't do that for Ellusionist

oh well

If you are referring to the ridiculously high prices before Sultan Treasuries were released to the public, then you can ask to get refunded the difference. If that's not what you're talking about, I apologise for my babbling

I was referring to that and I already got a partial refund through E, so no problems there anymore.

I want these freakin decks nowwwww

Hey Paul

I have sent you an email on the 04 November regarding my order #100000119 because I have some requests but I still have not received a response from you. My apologies if I have to contact you through here but it seems that this is the only way to get your attention. I am also having a hard time getting a reply from you in kickstarter before because it takes a few days before you reply.

I would appreciate if I can have a reply from you within a reasonable timeframe

Thanks

If it's order 119 then I assume this is Joseph? If so, I actually replied to your email on the 3rd about 13 minutes after you sent it. Sorry you didn't get it, not sure where it might have gone.

If it's about the signatures, yes that's not a problem at all and I can send replacements for the other things.

Very rarely a message might slip through the cracks but I generally reply to people nearly immediately. Being in Australia though, you are pretty much opposite time from me so you might have some delay. Thanks.

[jhayel84]

Thanks for your reply Paul. Yup that is me 

I have not received your reply but that is fine since you are already aware of it. I hope it is not too late for you to sign the decks now since I already received the shipping confirmation for my order. Are the tendril replacements going to be sent with my aurum order?

And while I'm at it any updates on the eco clips?

[Paul Carpenter]

a large batch of Eco clips went out today, and the rest will go out as soon as I get the final batch of Teal. I will send your replacements for the damaged Tendril along with the Aurum decks, it's just easier to send decks together in this case. Thanks!

[Knobz1]

Looky looky what I got in the mail today!

[Paul Carpenter]

Cool beans, I think you might the first person to get one, or at least the first that has mentioned it! Preorders are starting to ship out today as well and will continue to go out as I get them together.

[loldudex2]

I too received mine today. It looks beautiful man; a true work of art.

[Paul Carpenter]

Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoy the deck! I'm quite pleased with the outcome of this project.

is there any way to get a shipping # from my order info?

Your order might not have shipped yet, I haven't gotten everything out. When your order ships, you'll get an email and that wil have the tracking info in it.

If you can tell me your order number, I can let you know the status but everything should be shipped in the next 2 days.

[LeonJL]

Got mine today! Was breaking into the deck and I have to say, they look ridiculously amazing! The delicate designs really do look different when you look at them from different angles, appearing at times and disappearing at others. Oh, and giant fans look awesome thanks to the thin borders and the designs at the corner. Well done Paul!

P.S.: Paul, I'm already looking forward to your next deck! Any teasers or sneak previews like what you did for the Tendril backers on Aurum deck?

Glad you like them Leon! It is hard to capture all the details in a still picture, seeing them in person is quite different so thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I actually have a 3rd deck well in progress. However, the way I do things takes a long time. I will probably ponder and tweak this for weeks/months before sharing anything. I can say that just as Aurum is completely different from Tendril, this third one will also be a 180 degree turn and be nothing like the others.
