★ ITEM DESCRIPTION:
* Copper plate 7" x 1.75" stamped with the text of your choice in one of the 16 fonts I offer for this piece.
* Gift box

* Nails/Screws not included

Please do keep in mind that copper is a metal that may oxidize, which means that it may change color and leave behind a nice patina. It adds character to the piece and does not mean that the card is not clean. I clean and sanitize all of my items before they leave the office.

It is available in aluminum here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/127816294.
It is available in brass here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/235582939.

★ HOW TO ORDER:
1/ From the drop down menu, select the number of characters/letters in your message.
* To know the number of characters/letters in your message, use this website: https://charactercounttool.com/
* Enter your text in the box. The number of characters (without spaces) will show on the right.

2/ From the drop down menu, select a font (picture in listing).
The font pictured is Contemporary.

I also have a few designs: hearts, military boots, baby feet, compass, dandelion, house, stars, infinity sign, cancer ribbon, 50 states, mermaid, arrow, unicorn, unicorn head, book, evergreen tree, paw print, mustache, angel wings, cat whiskers, rose (flower), lightning bolt, medical sign (caduceus staff of Hermes), pregnant woman, sobriety symbol, Labrador, guitar, treble clef, mountains... The sizes vary, please contact me if you are interested in having one of them stamped on your plaque.

3/ Please enter the text you would like me to stamp in the "Add your personalization" box, as the plaque pictured is for illustration purposes only.
It can be any message up to 400 characters, but do make sure that the text is within the character (letter) range you selected!

★ SIZE OF LETTERS:
I do hand stamping. It is done by striking steel stamps with a hammer, by hand and one at a time, in order to leave an imprint in the raw metal. Therefore, I cannot change the size of the lettering. All fonts are pictured in my store and in the listings to give you an idea of the size, and what your product will look like when finished. If you think that a font is too small and you need a larger size, please contact me before placing an order. I will not be able to adjust the size because I do not use a software.

★ ONE SIDE ONLY
I cannot stamp the back of the metal. I use a hammer and metal stamps. So if I stamp the back of it, it will flatten out the lettering already stamped on the other side and leave slight but visible marks.

★ LAYOUT/FORMAT:
The plaques shown in the listing are for illustration purposes only. Please leave me your instructions at checkout if you have a layout or format in mind, such as placement of the text, portrait or landscape, etc. With no note from you, I will stamp the bookmark as I think looks best, and it will not necessarily match one of the styles pictured. You can also send me a picture if you would like.

★ PREVIEW:
I do not use a software, I stamp directly into the metal with a hammer and steel stamps, by hand and one at a time. So I will not be able to send a proof before processing your order.

★ STAMPING:
My products are made to order and not engraved by a machine. Therefore, reasonable variations are to be expected and contribute to the uniqueness and hand finished quality of each piece.

★ GIFT/PACKAGING:
The plaque will arrive in a beautiful gift box, ready for gift giving.
