Product Questions

Are your products exactly as shown in the photos?

We strive to represent our products accurately through high-quality photography and detailed descriptions. However, please note:

  • Screen colors may vary based on your monitor settings

  • Lighting during photography may affect color appearance

  • Some products may have slight variations due to handmade elements

We encourage you to read product descriptions carefully before ordering. If you have specific questions about a product, please contact us.

What are your products made from?

Our products are made from various high-quality materials, including:

  • Premium cardstock (230gsm, 250gsm, 300gsm weights)

  • Specialty papers including vellum, glitter cardstock, and foil-stamped papers

  • Handmade paper with embedded seeds (for plantable products)

  • High-quality ballpoint pen mechanisms with decorative barrels

Specific materials are listed in each product description.

Do your greeting cards come with envelopes?

Yes, our greeting cards (both single cards and boxed sets) include envelopes unless otherwise stated in the product description. Most cards include ivory envelopes, though some specialty cards may include colored or patterned envelopes as described.

What is the difference between your single cards and boxed cards?

  • Single cards contain one card with one envelope. These are perfect for individual occasions or when you need just one card.

  • Boxed cards contain multiple cards (typically 10) with matching envelopes, packaged in a keepsake box. These offer better value per card and are ideal for sending multiple holiday greetings or building your card stash.

Are your decorative pens refillable?

Our decorative pens are designed as disposable ballpoint pens with decorative barrels. They are not designed for refilling. However, they contain standard ballpoint pen mechanisms that write smoothly for extended use.

Product Care and Use Questions

How should I store my paper products?

To maintain the quality of your paper products:

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

  • Keep flat to prevent bending or curling

  • Avoid exposure to moisture, which can cause warping or adhesion issues

  • Keep away from extreme temperatures

  1. Soak the paper in water overnight

  3. Plant under a thin layer (about 1/8 inch) of loose, well-drained soil

  4. Keep warm and consistently moist until seeds germinate (approximately 2 weeks)

  5. Once seedlings establish, water as needed for your specific wildflowers

Can I use your decorative papers in cutting machines?

Most of our cardstock products (230gsm and 300gsm weights) are compatible with electronic cutting machines such as Cricut and Silhouette. However, we recommend testing a small piece first to confirm compatibility with your specific machine and settings. Papers with heavy glitter or foil may be more challenging to cut.

Many of our paper products are acid-free and suitable for archival use in scrapbooking. However, this varies by product. Please check individual product descriptions or contact us for specific information about a product’s archival properties.
