    Can I see a closer image of the cards?

    Yes. Once you click on an item, you will see a “See Details” link. Click that link, and then click on the image to view it up close.

    How are the cards on Luree's Crafts made?

    Most greeting cards today are produced through a highly mechanized mass-production process using sheet-fed offset printing. Artists, writers, and graphic designers in creative departments work together to design the card's artwork and messages. The approved design is then digitized and prepared for printing. 

    Here on Luree’s Crafts, you won’t find any mechanical mass-production process. We don’t do laser cuts, assembly lines, or digital printing. Everything here on Luree’s Crafts is completely handmade from start to finish.

    Is there any important information regarding the greeting cards?

    • Many of the card designs and folding techniques used are original works created by independent designers and are not owned by anyone affiliated with Luree's Crafts.
    •  Due to the frequent changes in the availability of paper patterns, colors, embellishments, and inks, the final appearance of each handmade card may vary.
    •  All greeting cards are handcrafted in a clean, smoke-free, and pet-free environment.

    Why aren't all craft supplies listed after the "Companies of Supplies Used" in the Greeting Card detail area?

    The 'Companies of Supplies Used' section features branded items only; unbranded supplies are excluded from this list.

    Please let me know if you recognize any craft materials not listed in the Detail section of each product. I want to ensure the original manufacturers receive proper credit.

     Journals

    Why don't the mini junk journals, note cards, envelopes, and bookmarks coordinate?

    Junk journals don't always have to cordinate. Many junk journals are made purely from junk, such as junk mail. Being that the note cards, envelopes and bookmarks come with the Mini Journals, they would not need to match.

    Shipping & Handling

    What are the mailable size requirements for envelopes?

    To qualify for standard letter mailing rates, an envelope or mailpiece must meet the following requirements:

    • Be rectangular in shape
    • Measure at least 3-1/2 inches high × 5 inches long × 0.007 inch thick
    • Measure no more than 6-1/8 inches high × 11-1/2 inches long × 1/4 inch thick

    The envelope included with the Mini Junk Journal note card does not meet the minimum length and width requirements for standard letter mailing. Therefore, it must be mailed inside a package or a larger rectangular envelope. It may also be hand-delivered to the recipient.

    Many other cards including our Square cards also fall outside standard mailing requirements. Please review the card dimensions listed in the “See Details >” section before purchasing.

    How long does it take to receive a purchased item?

    The making of the item will take approximately 3 to 5 days. Receiving a package in the U.S. typically takes 3 to 10 business days for domestic ground shipping. The exact time depends heavily on the carrier and the distance between us. During extreme bad weather and holidays, your package may be postponed longer than expected.

    How often are orders shipped?

    For all handmade crafts, orders are shipped out as soon as possible. At this time we have no set day of the week or month.

    Business

    Does Luree's Crafts accept returns or exchanges?

    Yes. Please refer to our Return Policy.

    Does Luree's Crafts endorse third-party brands?

    We use a carefully selected variety of products from different brands and manufacturers in the creation of our handmade crafts.
