Happy Spring from ThePaperPickleMKE! :)
USPS Shipping Update: Due to ongoing budget cuts, packages may sometimes take a little longer to arrive than usual. Please allow a couple extra days when ordering in case of unexpected delay. If you have any further issues or questions, please let me know and I will help you as best as I can!
Upcoming holiday and event cards are slowly in the works, including Graduation, Father’s Day, and beyond. I will also be adding more varieties of card sizes and different interactive cards. Keep checking back, or “favorite” my shop, to see new designs as they are added!
Normally I welcome custom orders, but due to many suppliers being closed, shutting down, or having broad supply chain issues; along with having a second grader and dealing with school year interruptions, I will not be taking custom orders for the foreseeable future. Message me for more information or any questions. I can still modify some designs in the shop to fit your needs! Extra charges may apply for customization added to an existing finished design in the shop, contact me for further details.
Thank you for supporting handmade artisans and small business owners!

Yes, I really do color each stamped image one by one! I use a 3 shade blending technique with each color for dimension

A lot of elements go into a set of Christmas cards! Each card takes about 2 hours total, from coloring to assembling.

Frequently asked questions
How soon before a holiday should I place my card order(s)?
If you are planning on mailing out your cards, I recommend ordering them about a month before the actual holiday to give both time for me to get them sent to you, and for you to get out to your family and friends. If you are going to give in person, ordering about 2 weeks before you plan on giving to your recipient(s).
Why the higher prices compared to other shops?
All of my cards are made 100% fully by hand, and only by me. There is no mass printing involved, which is also why only a couple of each design is available at any time. I stamp, color, and cut each image by hand; die cut all backgrounds with a crank press die cutter; and place and adhere each item on the card individually. Additionally, I only use high quality materials from other small women-owned businesses, nothing that goes into any card comes from Amazon, eBay, or any Chinese-owned company. I am adamant about giving credit where credit is due, and supporting artists is a passion of mine.
Why is overseas shipping so expensive?
I prefer to ship everything via US Postal Service first class international mail. This way, your order can be tracked in case something should happen during transit. I would be happy to just send via regular international air mail, but then I would not be held responsible if postage is due upon arrival, or if your order doesn't arrive at all.
Custom and personalized orders
Most cards in the shop can be personalized, for an extra fee. I would not be able to change anything on the front side of any card, but I can add a custom message to the inside of the card. I print out the customized message using my personal font library, trying to coordinate fonts as best as I can. I then adhere that custom message to the inside of the card and trim to fit.
Custom and personalized orders
I do sometimes do custom orders, within reason. I am only one person, and I do everything by hand, so large quantities (over 30 cards) would not be doable for me. I can make a fully custom card for you, limited to whatever stamps I have in my collection to make it with. I do not do vulgar or profane orders at all, so please don't ask. The same goes with political or anything with drug references, slander or hate speech, I will not do them. Also, if there is a card or set of cards that you see that you would want a slightly higher quantity of, I can do that for you, as long as I have the supplies or am able to get them. Any further questions you have about custom orders, please feel free to message me!
