Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 2 types of photo cards you sell? What is meant by "Photo Frame Cards?"

The Bright White Photo Cards are created using plain white cardstock with a smooth finish; the stark white color makes a striking background for the photo for a simple, classic look. The Photo Frame Cards are created by actually inserting the photo print behind the card opening, causing the picture to be "framed" by a colored border. These cards are a bit heavier in weight, and the paper has a textured, natural oatmeal color. Both types of cards would look great placed in a frame.

Are the photo cards acid-free?

Yes, all of the photo cards are crafted with archival paper which will help keep your photographs safe for years to come. The envelopes and even the storage bags are also acid-free. Additionally, the paper, envelopes, and ink used for the brush-lettering and stamped cards are acid-free.

How will my cards be shipped?

Your cards are shipped by either First Class or Priority Mail according to weight, and will be packaged in stay-flat protective mailers.

Do you ship internationally?

International orders are welcomed. You may request an estimate, and the appropriate shipping fee will be charged separately after you have placed your order.

Will my custom cards take longer to arrive?

Please allow one week from time of purchase for your order to be filled. Many times it will be shipped sooner.

Do you accept special requests for cards or other artwork?

Yes, your requests and ideas will be considered. Brush-lettering on envelopes, calligraphy projects, matting and framing, weblog buttons/graphics, and local portrait photography are all possibilities!
