Can I see a sample greeting card before I place my order?
We realize that sometimes we are reluctant to buy
something that we cannot see first hand. Most of us
like to 'kick the tires' before we buy. We understand
perfectly.
Therefore, if you would like a sample of one of our cards, just click on the 'Email Us' link here or at the left. Tell us you would like to receive a sample card. In addition, we will need to know which card you would like to see, and do not forget to leave your mailing address.
Once we receive your email request, we will acknowledge your request via email, and your sample card will be on its way to you. Simple.

Do you print each of your greeting cards in house?
Yes. We print every single card that we sell. These
are truly hand-crafted cards which we print on very
fine, heavy matte, fine art media, using the latest
ink-jet technology available.
None of our cards are mass produced in some foreign land. Each card is our own labor-of-love. When our technological devices act up, the love can diminish a bit, but the result is the same: our best efforts are made for each and every card. No exceptions. We will never settle for mediocrity.
The color of each card is as vibrant and true as the next one in the box. This is why many of our customer's keep and frame one card image for themselves, and send the others to their closest friends.
Just recently we had a gallery owner tell us that she would only carry our cards if we made her special printed sheets each depicting smaller images of the cards she was going to carry. She said, "My customer's cannot see the beauty of each card through the clear mylar envelope." We had never considered this at all, but she was correct. We know all of our card colors are vibrant, but they do look much better out of their clear envelopes. Lesson learned.

What are the card dimensions?
Our card dimensions are 5-3/4" (width) x
7-11/16"(height).
The envelopes that accompany them are of the highest quality, and are made by Crane. Crane is one of the oldest paper and stationary manufacturer's in the United States. Their quality is exceptional, which is why we chose to use their envelopes.

How many cards come in a box?
There are 10 greeting cards and matching envelopes in
each box.
Also included are 10 current postage stamps.

What are the card verses?
All of our cards are blank within.
We have heard over and over again that when people find cards they like, that more often than not, they do not like the verses within. And vice versa: the like the verse, but not the card image. (See About Us for more on this)
We also know that there is no one better qualified at creating the perfect verse than yourself. Only you can convey the perfect inscription for that very dear friend or loved one. How many times do we add a few lines of endearment to a card that already has a verse? We believe that just about everyone does that every time they send a card.
And nothing, absolutely nothing, is more heartfelt that a handwritten note to that special someone in your iife. Having said that, you now have the right card for every occasion.

What if I don't like the cards when I receive them?
Our business is based on the belief that quality
should be taken for granted. Period. Because of this
belief, we put everything we have into every card
that we make.
Therefore, if for any reason, you do not like the cards that you receive from us, just send them back for a full refund. No questions asked.
We only ask that you return the cards to us within seven (7) calendar days after receiving them, and in the same condition that they were delivered. Simple.
We want you to be completely satisfied with our cards. We will stand by this commitment 24/7. You never have to worry about purchasing cards from us.

Will your card selections change from time to time?
Absolutely.
We have hundreds of cards that we have prepared for sale. And, we are constantly adding to our card collections. But, we had to make a decision on how many cards to introduce at a time on the website. What you see is our current selection. You can be certain that we will change our Gallery cards quite often. For instance, The Seasons will change dependent on the time of year, of course.
Other Card Galleries will change as well. We may also add new Galleries. This change could be driven by customer request or, quite frankly, lack of interest in a particular card. If folks don't like it, then we'll replace it with another that we hope will be better received. And so on.
Which brings up something that we were queried about recently. After we removed a card from the website, we were asked if it was still available. The answer to that is always 'Yes', but the problem arises if you cannot remember the name of the card you were interested in. So, if you are interested in a particular card, but not ready to purchase it, then it may be best to write down the card caption and a brief description of the card image. This way, when you are ready to buy it, you can email your request will all the pertinent info.
And, as always, we are only an email away. Simply click on the 'Email Us' link at the left to send us your message.

Do you offer prints from your images?
We are asked this question quite frequently and the
answer in now, 'Yes!'.
Because of this interest, we decided to begin offering some of our card images for sale as prints. This has now been implemented on a limited scale.
The print sizes will not be the same as our cards, which are a bit 'squarer', if you will. The prints will be 5 x 7-inches surrounded by an 8 x 10-inch white mat. These will fit commonly found frames. If you would like a special size, just let us know and we will see what we can do in that regard.
