Question 1

How long will my products take to arrive?

Accepted Answer

We all love getting exciting mail through the post. I get you, you've ordered your item and now you want it ASAP! Well, I can't wait to get it to you either. All greeting cards shipped within the UK take between 1-3 days. All greeting card orders for outside the UK can take between 3-8 days depending where you are in the world. Prints will take between 1-2 weeks.

Question 2

Are your cards eco-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes! My cards offer strong eco credentials, from the recycled card used in my standard card ranges, to the biodegradable cello wrapping I use for packaging. I don't use any finishes/laminating’s or coatings, meaning every single one of my cards are recyclable. When shipping larger items such as prints, I always cardboard based packaging and recyclable washi tape too.
As a small business and all-round planet lover, my eco credentials are super important to me. All of my cards come in A6 size as not to waste any more paper than needed. I am always on the lookout for ways to improve my footprint, so if you have any ideas please let me know!

Question 6

Where do you get your inspo from?

Accepted Answer

I get my inspo from so so many places! Firstly, I keep a huge scrapbook full of anything and everything that catches my eye and try to refer back to this when I'm lacking a bit creatively.
My main inspo definitely comes from tons of fabulous artists on Instagram & artwork on Pinterest. Artists such as award winning illustrator Emily Brooks & happy news creator Emily Coxhead really helped kick start me on this journey of creating products I love. There are also tons of incredibly talented independent artists (way too many to name!!) such as Lucy Maggie, Amy Writes, Liz Harry Design & Oh Laura who keep my Insta feed bright & colourful!
As a designer I often battle with myself for weeks at a time where I'm not feeling creative, so it's super important to constantly have artwork surrounding my tiny workspace. As well as working on artwork it's just as important to take time out to re-charge, whether that’s a date with a bag of popcorn and the sofa, or a day flicking through Pinterest gathering new bits and bobs.

Question 7

I want to know more about you, tell me some stuff!"

Accepted Answer

Well if you say so. Here's a little more about me;
 
I studied Graphic Design at Solent University, it was during my self promotional project that I realised exactly what I wanted to do!
 
I am half Sicilian which I think is why I am totally obsessed with pizza, pasta and basically anything food wise.
 
I'm really not into bananas, the worst part is the eye contact people give you when they're shoving one in their mouths, no thanks.
 
I have over 36 plants in my bedroom alone, my Devils Ivy's longest vine is starting to reach my headboard, I'm sure it's about to take me out one of these days!

Question 8

Can I return my products?

Accepted Answer

I do not currently accept returns. As it's just little old me packing up your orders, I ensure all products are packed with love and care so the best quality can be achieved. However if your item is damaged in the post please do get in touch with me hello@louisedoesgraphics.co.uk, thanks!
