The Guide

How to Commission a Sentiment

  1. Step 1

    Select a Plate

    Begin in The Gallery. Open the card, postcard, print, or bookmark you mean to send, and choose the format it ought to take.

  2. Step 2

    Adorn the Front

    Open Adorn the Front with a Sentiment. Filter by novel, then choose a line of Miss Austen's to print on the face of the piece. Leave it unadorned if the artwork is to speak alone.

  3. Step 3

    Commission Original Words

    Should you prefer a bespoke verse, name the occasion and temper, then invite a first draft from the composer. Keep, refine, or summon it anew until the cadence feels yours.

  4. Step 4

    Attach It to the Parcel

    Add the piece to your parcel. A chosen quotation appears beneath the title as Front Adornment; a commissioned verse travels as a bespoke inscription.
