Oh Auracana it's gorgeous trimmed!! The images look so amazing and just pop right out of the card.
If only I had the confidence to try trimming mine

I used this one. It's become my workhorse for corner rounding: Small Angle Eater Corner Punch 5mm. It's only $5 + shipping in the US, but international shipping may not be too much more.

Auracana, what did you use for a corner rounder? I think the one I have is a bit big.
You can do it! It just takes time and you need proper lighting . I was terrified of doing it the first time and practiced on a deck of cheap playing cards first.Eyebright said:If only I had the confidence to try trimming mine
I had a light overhead and measured as I used my trimmer, which is why it came out perfect. I wanted no border whatsoever!Cassandra022 said:word about the difficulty in telling inner border and art apart on some cards
it came out looking really great though - def a really nice trim job on your part. Hope you have some good times with it now :]

I trimmed off all of the borders and the titles. This was actually my hardest trimming project since the inner border is close in hue to some of the images, but it ended up being my best trimming job.
I'm quite smitten with the deck now. To think it was traded away and one that I almost missed out on. It's like a being given a second chance.
The photo is taken at an angle so some due to the annoying camera flash; all of the cards are the same exact size .

If it had looked like that , I probably would have kept it!
Great job! and enjoy!
...I might have to trim a deck or two now...
