    Hello, thanks for visiting my shop!

    I never felt very crafty as a kid. My mom and sister were always making things - afghans, Christmas decor, teddy bears, tole paintings, etc. I stayed in the background and admired from afar. Then I discovered scrapbooking in 1998 when I started a baby book for my infant daughter. I realized I was very good at it and even better, I really enjoyed it. Over the years my hobby evolved to include card making and scrapbook embellishments. I sold my handmade embellishments on eBay for a couple of years before taking a break from online selling. My daughter got into making jewelry and a friendly shop owner suggested she try selling them. I opened an Etsy shop for her in 2009 but it didn't stay open for long. I was clueless on how to run it but I did learn a lot in the 6 months it was open. In the summer 2012 I felt a calling to come back to Etsy and sell my own handmade cards. I officially launched this card shop in October 2012 and it's grown every year since.

    My shop is now in its 8th year on Etsy and I love it! Over the years my shop has evolved from traditional handmade cards to cards I design on my PC and print myself. You see, I'm also a graphic designer at my day job and I enjoy using my skills to create printed cards. I invested in an Epson Workforce printer in the summer of 2019. I print my cards on heavy white cardstock (100 lb 298 gms). I still sell a few traditional, handmade items in my shop but my printed cards are my main focus.

    My husband and I live in Massachusetts and have three adult children between us along with two cats. I’m a breast cancer survivor since June 2017. My year of treatment inspired me to create my line of breast cancer support cards.

    When I'm not doing my fun job (Etsy!), I work outside the home as a graphic designer at a local newspaper. I've been working in the printing industry since my 16th birthday in 1976. I use Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat at home and at my day job.

    Pieces of Me Paper Crafts is a smoke-free, cat-friendly shop.

    Please double check that the mailing address you have on file with Etsy is current and correct. Shipping labels are printed through Etsy using the mailing address the buyer submits with the order. Packages shipped to an incorrect address due to buyer error may be lost, delayed or returned to me by USPS. In this case, the buyer will be responsible for additional costs related to reshipping. I’ll contact the buyer and make no more than two attempts to collect payment for a new shipping label.

Original shipping charges are not refundable if a package is returned to me because of an incorrect mailing address.

I have no control over delays once a package has entered the postal system and I can't guarantee delivery dates.

    ➤ PRIORITY UPGRADE
    I offer a Priority Flat Rate envelope shipping upgrade to U.S. buyers at checkout for an additional fee. USPS estimates delivery at 2-3 days but it is NOT guaranteed. I have no control over postal delays once a package has entered the postal system and I can’t promise a delivery date.

    Additional policies and FAQs
    Pieces of Me Paper Crafts is a smoke-free, cat-friendly shop!

    My items are handmade by me. Some items are made in multiple quantities so I can list more than one for sale. The item you receive may not be the exact item shown in the photo but it will be made as close as possible.

    ➤ CUSTOM ORDERS POLICY (non digital)
    **Discount codes cannot be applied to bulk or custom orders.
    I accept special orders and offer bulk pricing on 8 or more of a single card design. If you need a different color or additional quantity of an existing item or have a design idea, feel free to contact me. I check messages daily and will respond within 24 hours. After a buyer and I have agreed on the specifics of the order I'll create a custom listing for purchase. Special orders must be purchased and paid in full before I start to work on them. Processing times will be determined based on the size of the order and availability of materials and will be agreed upon by both buyer & seller before the custom listing is created. There are no returns/refunds on custom orders if the item can't be resold in my shop.

    ➤ CUSTOM DIGITAL ORDERS
    I am not offering custom digital orders at this time.

    I only use customer information to fulfill orders. I do not store or use customer information for any other purpose. Information such as name, address, and email address is not stored on my computer or other devices. For tax purposes I retain paper copies of Etsy sales for a period of 4 years.

    Frequently asked questions
    Can you personalize my tags with a name or phrase?

    My tags are handmade by me but I'm not set up to print on them. I'd be happy to hand stamp "thank you" on your tags but I can't add names, dates or other personal information.

    PLEASE CONTACT ME PRIOR TO PURCHASE to request hand stamping as it may require an additional charge. Messages left in the notes to seller at checkout without contacting me first may result in your order being delayed or cancelled.

    Can I place a bulk order?

    Yes! Please contact me privately to discuss a bulk order (8+ cards) of any single design in my shop. Larger orders may require a longer processing time and higher shipping cost. See the next question for processing and shipping info.

    How soon will I get my order?

    Ready to ship items are mailed in 1-3 business days.

    Items that are labeled as "made to order" have a longer processing time that allows me time to make your order and package it for shipping. Made to order items usually ship within one week, depending on the size of the order.

    Special orders created through private message requests will be shipped in the time frame agreed upon at the time of the order.

    Delivery time** depends on your location and the method of shipping you choose at checkout. Most first class packages arrive in 4-7 business days. Priority delivery is usually 2-3 business days but is not guaranteed. See my shop policies regarding postal delays and lost packages.

    **Delivery time does not include my processing time.

    Is your shop pet free and smoke free?

    My family members and I are non-smokers and share our home with two cats. My ready to ship items are stored in sealed plastic bins.

    Wholesale availability

    I do not offer wholesale pricing.

    Can you mail directly to my recipient?

    I'm not offering this service at this time.

    Can you customize a digital download?

    I don’t offer custom downloads. My instant downloads are sold as is.

    Can you create a custom order using an image of a popular character?

    No. I cannot legally use any trademarked/copyrighted images in my shop. Examples of registered trademarks/copyrights are anything by Disney, movie/TV/book characters, company logos, celebrity images and names, song lyrics, etc. All of the images on my cards are used with permission and/or were purchased with a license for commercial use.

    Can I have a message included in a card?

    Custom requests must be made prior to ordering so I can provide a price quote. If you add a note at checkout your order will be delayed while I attempt to contact you about your request. Discounted/sale cards are not eligible for customization.
