What makes Sentiments by Sarah different than most card design websites? TOP You
will receive a one of a kind card that is customized for YOUR photos
and YOUR preferences. Sentiments by Sarah are completely customized. I
don't just plug in your photos and info into a pre-made card. You pick
and choose what you like and don't like, tell me the colors and layouts
you like and I go from there! You pay for your cards after you are
completely satisfied with your proofs. I don't see a design that works with my photos - are there other options? TOP I
can create most anything - just tell me what colors you like and the
theme and I call pull ideas together for you from there. If you are
stumped for a color theme, let me pull them from your photo for a
totally coordinated card. What types of paper/finishes do you offer? TOP Our cardstock is offered in 4 different paper finishes, to help you truly achieve the feel that you want for your cards.
The matte finish is our thinnest paper. It has a slight gloss finish only
to ensure that the colors are not dulled during printing. This paper is
the most traditional of the cardstock options.
The glossy finish
is the thickest of our cardstock papers. It is a matte finish card that
is coated with a high glossy UV protectant. This gives the card added
weight and protection against scratching. This option can give any card
a bit of modern flair.
The pearl finish is a unique and fun
alternative paper! This paper is medium in weight, as it is texturized
and has a slightly glittered effect. We recommend this paper with
pastel colors and holiday greetings.
The linen finish is the
newest addition to our cardstock. This paper is also medium weight and
texturized. This chic paper is a wonderful upgrade for anyone looking
for a little extra touch! What type of photo paper is used by your supplier? TOP Photo cards are printed on Kodak Endura Professional paper and have a lustre (matte) finish.
Panel Cards & Greeting cards are printed on heavy 100 lb cardstock and can have a semi-gloss finish, linen or pearl finish.
I can't decided on which picture to use. Can I send them and have you decide? TOP Yes
you can. If, for some reason I cannot decide which photo looks better,
I will send you multiple proofs to see which you like the most. What type of photos do I need to send? TOP The
best photos to work with are the full resolution, original size
pictures that you take with your digital camera. We can work with
smaller sized photos, but they might not look as good as the original
sized photos. If you do not have a digital camera, just scan your
picture at 300 dpi and send that to us. Please do not crop your photos,
allow me to crop them to fit the design. Can I use photos taken by a professional? TOP You can use photos taken by a professional, but only with written permission from the photographer. When will I get my cards? TOP Once
we receive your photos, you will be emailed a proof of your card within
1-2 business days (make sure you remember to provide us with your email
address). After approval of your proof, final cards will be shipped
within 5-7 business days. Most often it will be done sooner than
stated, depending on the season. If you are ordering photo cards to
print yourself, your print quality file will be e-mailed within 12
hours of payment. |
