5 out of 5 starsI stumbled across these cards and the designer and I am so glad I did! They are better quality than the big box card companies and the seller was so easy to work with. Will be using this small business for any of my card needs!

Frequently asked questions
How do I submit Photos?
Please submit your photos to my dropbox file: https://www.dropbox.com/request/8TyUlOXSULUEa3aVaJsr or you can email them to happydaypaperie@gmail.com
Where/how should I print them?
I offer excellent professional printing for an additional fee. Alternately, you can print at home if you have a good printer or at a place like Staples. For a good online printer, I like mpix.com
NOTE: Please check with your printer to find out the size that they print, INCLUDING the bleed, and let me know before I begin working on your proof. THERE IS A $5.00 FEE FOR RE-SIZING YOUR FILE AFTER A PROOF HAS BEEN STARTED.
Can the colors or wording be changed on my card?
The answer for the most part is "YES!" Colors can be customized to whatever you need. Wording can be customized as well, however if the wording is part of the "artwork" on the card, there may be a small additional fee.
Will my file be text-editable or can you send a text-editable PDF or PSD?
No, I create all of my files in Illustrator. I will customize your card for you and email a proof which you will then be able to request changes to if needed.
Do you offer matching party printables or thank you notes?
Yes, I can create matching printables for any of my cards (cupcake toppers, water bottle labels, buffet table tent-style cards, banners, etc.). Some of my designs already have matching printables designed, if so, they would be in the Coordinating Party Items section of my shop, which is also where you will find the coordinating thank you card listing. Please contact me for pricing on these items.
How long does it take to receive a proof?
I typically have proofs to you within 24 hours of receiving your order. It may take a bit longer on the weekends or during busy seasons (Christmas). Custom orders typically take 2-3 days to receive a proof.
What file format are the files sent in?
All files are sent to you as a .jpg with one card image unless you specifically request a PDF with 2 card images on a letter-size page.
Can I get a refund on my purchase?
Your payment covers my work time on your file. Therefore, once a proof has been started I cannot offer a refund, as you paid for the work that I already did even if you decide you no longer want the final file.
What size photos should I send for my order?
Photos should be the original files, if possible, and the largest file size you have. When the photo is cropped to the photo box, it needs to be 300 dpi at that size. If a photo comes to me with low resolution, I will let you know and will request that a larger file be sent when possible. Happy Day Paperie is not responsible for bad photo quality (or bad print quality if you choose to print elsewhere.)
