Beverly is Todd’s mom. She passed away four years ago. Her recipes for brownies and other baked goods were all in a small binder in her handwriting. Todd put her recipe on a plate to give as a gift to his children.
We wanted to offer the same service to others.
These are porcelain plates and have a beautiful gloss finish. The rectangular plate is 8.5"x7.25" and the area where the recipes will be placed is approximately 6"x 4 1/2".
After placing your order, please send the following information to us through Etsy Messaging. Just click the small little square with the moon and the mountain inside, from your phone or the little camera icon on your computer of it to upload the recipe; or whatever you'd like on the plate.
1. A COLOR scan or a COLOR photo of your recipe (A COLOR SCANNING of your recipe works the very BEST) after making your purchase. Remember that the better quality your photo is the better it will look on your plate. A good quality photo is 360 DPI resolution and has high contrast between the writing and the paper it is on. If you take a photo, try to take it from directly above the recipe and not on an angle from the front. This will prevent your image from being too narrow at the top or the bottom. You can see some examples on our “Take a Good Photo” photo.
2. If you would like us to artistically modify the recipe based on your photo, then pick one of our options and include those instructions as well. You can see what they look like on our “Pick a style” photo. We are generally able to do this from most recipe cards, notes, etc.….
3. If you would like your design to include a border, let us know which one you would like from our “Selection of Boarders” photo. If you would like the boarder to be a color other than black, include that with your message too. The available colors are also on the “Selection of Boarders” photo.
4. If you would like us to add a title above your recipe, include the title that you'd like us to add and choose the font type you’d like from our “Font Type” photo. You can also select a color from this same photo. If no title is included with your message, then one will not be provided. If no color is selected for the title, then the default color will be black.
In summary, here are the steps to take after placing your order:
Scan or photograph your recipe in color and send it to us through Etsy Messaging along with the style for the recipe. Also if you would like a boarder, let us know which boarder you would like. If you would like a Title above your recipe, then select a font for the title and let us know the text for it.
That is all you need to do. We will send you a proof and ship your order!
PS We are happy to create a unique design for you. Just let us know :)
