GENERAL QUESTIONS

How do I download the files I purchased?

Generally speaking, your files will be available to download within minutes of your purchase. You will receive an email, and the links should also be visible on your purchase confirmation page. You may also re-access your files by going into your account and viewing your orders. 

  • Etsy purchases: If you can't find the email from Etsy, visit your Purchases page to access downloads: https://www.etsy.com/your/purchases (Unfortunately, files can't be downloaded through the mobile app--you may either open your browser on your mobile device, or use a desktop computer.)

    How do I print the instant downloads?

    However you want! In most cases, you can print your digital downloads in whatever way you prefer, including:

    • using your home printer

    • printing at a copy shop such as UPS or FedEx

    • using an online printer

    • printing through a photo lab


    What kind of paper should I use for the printables?

    White cardstock is usually best, though it depends on the item. Coated cardstock can make the colors even more vibrant. Cardstock with a linen texture can give an upscale vibe to your item.

    I *highly* recommend doing a test before printing off a large quantity. Be sure to cut and assemble your test print to make sure the your results have the quality you want. If your home printer isn't handling the colors well, I recommend using a professional copy center instead.

    Will you print the items for me/can I purchase printed items?

    No. I'm not currently set up to have your digital purchases printed, cut, or constructed. I can make suggestions for printers, though, depending on your needs. 

    How do I attach the cupcake wrappers?

    You can adhere cupcake wrappers in any way you want, but I personally prefer clear tape. It's easy and there is no drying time. I chose not to include latching tabs on my cupcake wrapper printables because they can be tedious to cut around. Cupcake wrapper instructions are also included on the PDF that comes with your purchase.

    Can I use a cutting machine (Silhouette, Cricut, etc.) on my printables?

    Maybe! Most printables come as PDFs, which some customers have had success with in their cutting machine. None of the printables has been tested with a cutting machine, though, and I cannot offer any technical assistance with that since I've never used one.

    I'm on a Mac, and the editable PDF I purchased isn't working correctly.

    Did you open your file in Preview first? Doing so seems to mess with the PDF for some reason. It's important you open it in Adobe Reader *before* opening it in another PDF reader (like Preview). You'll need to redownload your file by going to Purchases.

    How can I remove the little plus signs that the PDF keeps adding when I fill in my custom text?

    These are text field overflow indicators, and they show up when the font is supposedly too large or too much for the space. They can show up even when your word(s) are fitting just fine, depending on the font. To remove the indicator, go into Edit→Preferences and uncheck the box that says "Show text field overflow indicator."

    How can I contact you with another question?

    Please use the contact form located here, or the chat box on the bottom right corner of the site. (If you made your purchase on Etsy, please message the shop through the Etsy system.) I generally respond within a few hours during business hours (M-F 8:30-6pm PST), and often within a day on weekends and holidays.
