Product FAQs

Our products are made in the USA (except for the clear bags and pens).

Our pewter ornaments are made in our brother-in-law's shop in Massachusetts.

Wine bottle ornaments come from West Virginia while the wooden ornaments are made in Oregon by great small businesses.

Our cards are made in Florida.

Picture frames are made in Maine and Georgia.

Candles are made in Georgia, Washington and Michigan.

And our twine is made in California.

The majority of our cards hold 4" x 6" photos, artwork, etc.

There are also cards that hold a 2.5" x 3.5" wallet size image as well as one card that will hold a 5" x 7" image.

Cards are 5" x 7" and ready for framing. Our cards are the perfect matting.

Our cards show 3 7/16" x 5 7/16" of your photo.

Photo Insertion FAQs

We recommend using a rubber finger tip. This helps grip the photo and prevent finger prints. Also, be sure to place the card on a flat surface. Gently lift one side and insert the photo. Once you get the photo past the first frame with your rubber finger tips, slide the photo to the other side. Watch our video tutorial here.

No, the cards are designed to securely hold your precious memories without the use of tape or glues. This way your photos are not damaged.

Custom Printing FAQs

Yes, we do. We can print on the front, inside and back of card.

We appreciate having the opportunity to create a customized personal product for all of our customers. We do offer up to 2 rounds of approval of proofs to ensure that you will be completely satisfied with your purchase.

Due to the customization of our product we do not accept returns. All items are final sale. 

First add the cards you want to purchase to your cart. Then select the type of printing you want from the options found here: Custom Printing Options

Yes. Our pricing includes two
proofs sent via email.

The first will arrive in 2 business days. Allow at least one business day for each additional round of proofs.

Any additional rounds over the included two proofs will incur a charge of $25 each round.

Once the proof is approved, the cards will enter the printing queue and should ship within two business days. Larger orders may take a day longer.

If you need your order quicker, you may choose to pay the "Skip to the Front of the Line" fee during the checkout process.

There are also faster shipping options available which you may choose during checkout as well.

If you place an order and want to change your shipping or add Skip to the Front of the Line, please reach out with your order number and it can be added to your order.

At this time, we do not. We prefer to handwrite on the back of the ornaments.

For pewter ornaments, we recommend using our Pewter Ornament Sharpie.

This sharpie is not recommended for our wooden ornaments as there could be ink bleeding. And with the wine bottle ornaments, you may see the writing as the glass is clear.

If you buy other items that are currently available, we'll keep everything together until the pre-ordered item is ready, which saves you on shipping costs.

If you prefer to have your in-stock items shipped immediately, please make two separate orders.

If you initially chose to ship everything together but now want your in-stock items shipped right away, just let us know, and I can send you an invoice for the extra shipping charges.
