Inspiration Photos:
Inspiration photos can help us bring your vision to life. The more information you give us, the better. Do you like script font or block font? Do you like embellishments like scrolls or flourishes? Do you have no idea what I’m talking about? Don’t worry. Our designer will send you some ideas and we can tweak the design until you are happy with it. It is important to note that we cannot engrave designs, quotes, or lyrics that are protected by copyright law without the written consent of the person who owns it.
Handwriting tips:
Make it more meaningful by adding a handwritten signature or saying. It’s easy to do, just follow these steps:
- Use black ink on plain white paper.
- Take a photo (smartphones work well) from above, with good lighting, and no shadows across the paper. If you have multiple signatures, usually one photo is fine. If needed, you can send multiple pictures.
- Upload the JPG file. Use the largest file size possible. Alternatively, you can email us the photographs.
- We will email you a design file to approve, or if we require new or different pictures. Please check your bulk mail folders if you do not hear from us within 4 business days.
Tips for prints:
Although we can engrave prints that are done with paint, we do not recommend it. Paint handprints do not have the detail that makes this gift so unique. Prints taken with ink are really easy to do, and you can buy water-soluble inks at your local craft store that should clean up well. If you are uncertain, test the ink on yourself first!
- Use black ink on plain white paper.
- If you have more than one child, use a left hand/foot for one and the right hand/foot for the other. This is optional but adds symmetry to the final effect.
- Write the name of each child beside their print. Specify if you would like the name included in the design in the “Engraving Detail” section above. Names will be engraved using computer font unless you specifically ask for them to be engraved as handwriting.
- Take a photo (smartphones work well) from above, with good lighting, and no shadows across the prints. One photo of both prints is fine, but you can photograph each print individually if you prefer.
- Upload the JPG file. Use the largest file size possible. Alternatively, you can email us the photographs.
- We will email you a design file to approve, or if we require new or different pictures. Please check your bulk mail folders if you do not hear from us within 4 business days.
