If you’re like me (and everyone I know) you probably have thousands of photos in your phone documenting priceless family memories – with no other place for them to live. Giving them a home is a little daunting, and I can never seem to find the time to organize and print out photos. Enter Artifact Uprising, the family-founded, one-stop online shop for design-forward printed photo gifts, books, and more. Founded in 2012, Artifact Uprising was created to capture life’s intimate moments and special memories, so they don’t get left behind. Artifact Uprising also uses recycled papers and intentionally sources materials throughout their product line, offering consumers the luxury of premium products with an eco-friendly conscience. They are also made with love in the USA.
My journey with Artifact started with their customized holiday cards, and after such a positive experience, I used them for Valentine’s Day cards from my kids to their classmates. I can’t wait to use them for birthday invites and other exciting milestones that deserve an elevated touch!

How It Works
I started with Artifact’s seamless online design studio, which took me 10 minutes to customize with our family photos thanks to their beautiful templated designs. Artifact’s user experience is a testament to their commitment to simplicity and efficiency – my cards looked like they were created by a professional designer (of which I am not…)!
I chose to pay a little extra to have the envelopes addressed with a return address; we try to keep our address book as up to date in Google Sheets throughout the year. Addressing was as easy as uploading this file into their portal.
Once I did a final review on the proof, I checked out and our cards arrived in the mail with expedited shipping a few days later. Every year, my kids enjoy (aka I summon them), to help me put the cards in their envelopes and apply the stamps–hour-long activity, check! Pro-tip: buy one of these Envelope sponges on Amazon to save your kids from licking the envelopes and add to their fun. We had 200 cards packed and sealed in 20 minutes and I shipped them out on December 10th to arrive mid-month.
After my positive experience with Artifact’s holiday cards, I decided to invest in a gallery wall between my daughter and son’s bedrooms. I had been dreaming up a 2 x 3 frame gallery wall above a new whimsical bench I purchased from Lulu & Georgia’s Sarah Sherman Samuel Collection for some time, and finally decided to make the purchase with Artifact.
I printed the same photos from our holiday shoot which were so near and dear to my heart, and was beyond impressed by the quality of the prints and framing (I went with 6 square 12-inch frames in black metal). Artifact’s frames enhanced our family photos and safeguarded those special memories they safeguard.
Aside from holiday cards and gallery walls and framing, some of the other products I can’t wait to check out myself and/or gift from Artifact’s include:
A premium line of photo books features quality materials and elevated design to make your stories last. These books are easily customizable so you can capture all of your favorite memories, whether that’s a vacation, birthday, anniversary, or even just special everyday moments – in your own unique way.

Artifact Uprising’s newest product, the Modern Wall Tile, is one of their most in-demand frames, selling out shortly after it launched last fall. The product is now so popular that they decided to release a black finish alongside the original light-wood Linden colorway, so there’s a style for every home aesthetic. The Modern Wall Tile is available for purchase individually or in groups of up to 16 frames (so everyone can decorate their walls in their own unique way!) Each frame is made with lightweight, thoughtfully-sourced basswood, arriving with two extra strips of removable adhesive, so they’re ready to display on your wall with easy, hammer-free installation.
