Printing

No, we are not able to print full bleed color on your cards. The majority of your card should be the paper color with your logo and other details added. Orders with full bleed designs will be notified for changes or have the order canceled if we are not able to reach you.

No, we are not able to print borders around the edges of cards. Those cause to many complications when cutting. Orders with borders will be notified for changes or have their order canceled if we are not able to reach you.

We do offer Gold, Silver and Glossy White inks for select papers and cards. This is not avalable on all products. You must read our Information page for more details here:

We prefer a vector file in one of the following formats EPS, AI, or PDF files. You can also send a PNG or JPG as long as the file is 300dpi and the width and height are the same size or larger then what you need printed.

We use digital printing on professional series laser printers.

Products

It was your responsibility to proof your cards before the printing process was started. We are not able to fix a product once printing has begun. You can log back into your account and fix the error when you order the product in the future.

If for some reason there is a typo that does not match the proof and there was any error on our part please contact us as soon as possible. We are always happy to replace products when we make a mistake.

Products ship 3-7 business days AFTER the date of purchase depending on the product. Read all product details to see what the expected Processing time is.

Processing time is how long it takes us to process and make your product in the order in which is was received. 

Selecting faster postage during checkout does NOT change how long it takes to process your order.

How fast your order arrives after our processing time will depend on your location and postage you select during checkout.

Many products you will design and approve your own proof. You will not receive another proof directly from us unless cut options needed to be added. If you have something questionable about your design be sure to email us after purchase with your concerns and we should be able to edit your proof for you.

If your purchase requires cuts/holes to be added you will receive a new proof after purchase.

Proofs

A proof here on Homegrown Creativity is a digital copy of what your product is going to look like before we print or make your item. All proofs are digital, there is no physical card or product made. Proofs will have a white background and will not reflect the paper you selected.  By Approving your proof you are agreeing that everything you see is located in the correct spot, grammar and spelling are correct and all of the holes/cuts/slits you wanted are shown on the proof.

If you wanted a peg hole on top of your cards and you do not see one on the proof you will NOT receive one. Please check your proof carefully before approving. Once approved production of your order could start at any time.
