FAQ's

  • After your selections are made and purchased, you will receive you an email proof for approval within 2-5 business days. My business days and hours are Monday – Friday from 9am – 2:30pm CST.  If you have any changes you can make them during the proofing process.
  • Once you have approved your proof, your order will go into production.  The printer runs 2-4 business days. Then shipping takes 1-3 business days based on your location.  Please note we ship from Alabama.
  • Please note printing timeline can run longer during peak holiday season. Letterpress production is 3-6 weeks and Ribbon Wrap production is 2 weeks.
  • If proofing is not on schedule due to vacation or illness, we usually provide printing timeline in the header/top banner of our website.
  • standard paper 2-3 business days
  • premium paper 3-5 business days
  • liners require an additional business day for assembling once printed; please note that liners are assembled by hand and handmade, so there may be imperfections.
  • photo attached cards require 1-2 additional days for assembling.  The cards arrive from the printer, and the photos arrive from a separate printing company.  Once both are in then we can cut (if needed) and assemble. These are hand assembled, so sometimes the photos can move in shipment, but can easily be adjusted and re-positioned.

**Please note the timeline starts after the day approved.  If approved Monday at 12:30 pm, even if I am able to get it setup and sent to print by 1:30 pm it will not process until the next business day,  If submitted before 11:30 it might process in the printing queue starting that day.  But a general rule of thumb plan on the next business day.  

  • Double-sided printing is available for free. You may add a photo or two on the back, an announcement, or any info you would like. This is customizable to your liking. 
  • Please upload your photo(s) 1MB or larger to ensure best print quality. 
  • Many cards offer the option for your card's front photo to be attached to the card. Clients can mount the photos or Kate Chambers Designs can mount for you for $.65/per card. 
  • You can add photos to be printed on the back of your card for no additional charge. Please upload your additional photo(s) at checkout. 
  • Rush printing (1-2 business days, not including the day submitted) is available from the printer for $25 for 1-2 printed items, $45 for 3-5 items. Please keep in mind this is not rush shipping and only elevates your product(s) priority with the printer. Rush orders will be shipped within 1-3 business days upon receipt the client’s email approval of their proof. Business days and hours are Monday – Friday 9am-2:30pm CST.
  • For the 2024 Holiday Season, the rush shipping fee is $45 for printed cards and printed cards with 1-2 printed items. For cards with 3-5 printed upgrades, the rush fee is $85. Printed upgrades include envelope liners, recipient addressing and return addressing. 
  • Premium paper is NOT available for rush printing. Rush printing during the Holiday season can take 2-3 days or at times be unavailable. If it is unavailable, we will notify you after your purchase and you will be refunded the rush fee. All Rush printing orders must be confirmed by 10am. If received after 10am, they will go into the next business day.
  • All of my products are semi to fully customizable. For this reason, products cannot be returned unless a mistake was made by the printer. Please be sure to review your proof very carefully for any errors in your customizable information (spell of names, times, dates etc.). However, if an error is made by the printer, please contact me promptly to let me know.
  • If you approved the mistake then a re-print fee will apply.  
  • For this reason, please please double check your order when it arrives before you mail out.  It's easier to fix a mistake with a reprint vs mailing out a duplicate set.
