You've Still Got Time!

It's getting close to Christmas and we are getting lots of calls asking if it's too late to order prints in time to give as gifts. The answer is, you still have time!

This time of year, we strongly recommend choosing one of the FedEx shipping options. Most of you choose USPS 1st Class, USPS Priority or Free Shipping when you order at iPrintfromHome.com. Although the post office is generally very fast, please note that these are not guaranteed shipping options. If you definitely need your order before Christmas, you might consider choosing one of the guaranteed FedEx shipping options when you place your order.

At iPrintfromHome.com, our standard turnaround time for Photographic Prints is as follows: if you place your order by 6am EST, we have it ready for shipping the same day, Monday through Saturday. Any order that comes in on Sunday will be shipped on Monday.

The turnaround time for Giclee Fine Art Prints is 3 business days (weekdays), and the daily production cut-off is 6am EST.

Please note that requesting foam and ultra mounting (or stretching) services can add up to 3 business days to your turnaround time. Plak mounting can add up to 7 business days to your turnaround time.

You already have the perfect gift.

You create beautiful images all year long. You pour your heart and soul into your work.

You might spend your time observing light and positioning yourself to take photographs at exactly the right moment. Or stand in front of an easel with paint brushes, pens & pencils. Some of you even make your own materials. And still more of you go about your daily lives, working the 9-5 grind, but you have a keen eye and always have camera close by.

You have the gift of an artist's sensibility. You see beauty in the world and can't help but share it.

DIY Photo Cards

In this video, Sara demonstrates how to make DIY Photo Cards.

Try something new this holiday season. Take the time to create something personal, beautiful and showcase your work while you're at it.

We make cards like those featured in the video all year round. Because we're making them ourselves, we can make as few or as many as we need, and choose the perfect image for each occasion. Check out the video and give it a try. We think you'll be happy with the results.

Not only will you have a high quality photo greeting card to send out to friends and family, but you'll also be featuring your own imagery. One of the simplest things you can do to advance your artistic career is to start sending your work into the world. Let people see the images that you've created. Once you do, you'll be surprised by how quickly you'll start hearing from people who want to see more.
