Nightjar Custom Tarot Card Template
by ShuffleKit
An illustrated tarot deck template with Major Arcana, Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles fronts and a shared back, cut to tarot size and print-ready. A painting fills the whole card inside a fine double gold keyline, with the card's number on a ribbon hanging from the top edge, a diamond under it carrying the suit's mark, the name on a pointed plate with gold sparkles at its ends, two keywords on a band beneath it, and a panel of italic verse over mist curling up from the foot of the picture. The back is gold line engraving on midnight: a crescent moon in a ringed medallion with vines, sprigs and the four suit marks round it. Every part of the frame is an editable shape, so the ribbon, the plates and the keylines are fills you can recolour, and the suit you pick on a card chooses its front. Comes with an eight-card sample deck of trumps, pips and courts.

Adding a template copies its designs, fields, and sample cards into your own project. Your copy is yours, and later changes by the author never touch it.

What’s in Nightjar Custom Tarot Card Template
Six designs: Major Arcana Tarot Card, Wands Tarot Card, Cups Tarot Card, Swords Tarot Card, Pentacles Tarot Card and Nightjar Tarot Card Back.
Your cards live in a sheet, one row each, with a column for every field the designs read: Name, Artwork, Rank, Subtitle, Description and Suit. Eight of those rows arrive filled in, so there is something on the design before you type a word.
Read the eight sample cards
| Name | Rank | Subtitle | Description | Suit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Hermit | IX | Solitude · Inner Light | A lamp carried up the mountain for no one else to see by. Walk alone a while, and listen for your own voice. | Major Arcana |
| Strength | XI | Courage · Patience | The great beast settles among the night flowers of its own accord. A steady hand and a low voice brought it there. | Major Arcana |
| The Tower | XVI | Upheaval · Revelation | Lightning finds the highest stone first. Whatever falls tonight was cracked long before the storm arrived. | Major Arcana |
| The Moon | XVIII | Illusion · Intuition | The path runs on between the towers and into the glow on the water. Trust what you feel along it over what you see. | Major Arcana |
| Three of Wands | 3 | Foresight · Expansion | Three staves bloom on the cliff edge, facing the open sea. The plans you made in spring are already under sail. | Wands |
| Two of Cups | 2 | Union · Attraction | Water spills from one cup and is caught by the other with not a drop lost. A bond offered freely comes back to you. | Cups |
| Queen of Swords | Q | Clarity · Independence | Her crown hangs from the hilt of a blade driven into the rock. She sees the storm plainly and speaks of it the same way. | Swords |
| Ten of Pentacles | 10 | Legacy · Abundance | The old keeper of the orchard rests under a tree hung with gold. What was planted long ago now feeds the valley. | Pentacles |
Printing at tarot size
Tarot: 2.75 × 4.75 in, 69.9 × 120.7 mm, 825 × 1425 pixels at 300 DPI.
On the Hobby plan, export a print-ready PDF with bleed and cut lines. PNG and SVG come out at the same size, which is what Tabletop Simulator wants. On Indie, send it to a print-on-demand partner through Print & Ship.
A printer asks for an eighth of an inch of bleed on every edge on top of those numbers, so this card goes out as 900 × 1500. The export adds it. Let the artwork run into the bleed and keep the text inside the cut line, and nothing arrives trimmed.
Questions about Nightjar Custom Tarot Card Template
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Still have questions? Contact us
What happens when I add Nightjar Custom Tarot Card Template to a project?
The six designs, the six fields and the eight sample cards are copied into a project of yours, with the fields already pointed at the design. Nothing stays linked to this page afterwards, so the author's later edits never reach your copy.
What size does Nightjar Custom Tarot Card Template print at?
Tarot size: 2.75 × 4.75 in, 69.9 × 120.7 mm, 825 × 1425 pixels at 300 DPI. Those are the numbers to hand a print shop, and the ones to check a sleeve against.
Is Nightjar Custom Tarot Card Template free?
Yes. Adding it, editing it, filling it with your own cards and playtesting it online are all free. Exporting print files starts on the Hobby plan, and Print & Ship through The Game Crafter is on Indie. No template sits behind a paid plan.
Can I change the designs?
Yes. They land in your project as ordinary layouts, so you can drag an element somewhere else, put your own art behind the frame, restyle the type or rename a field. Edit a design once and every card on it follows.
Can I use my own cards instead of the samples?
Yes — the samples are rows in a sheet, and they are there to be overwritten. Type over them, add rows of your own, or bring a CSV and match its headers to the fields.
Can I sell a game made with Nightjar Custom Tarot Card Template?
Yes. This one is ours, and you keep commercial rights to what you build from it, crowdfunding and retail included.
Ready to build your card game?
This template is free, and so is the editor it opens in.
