I was thinking of making personalised cards this year using aperture blank cards with photos (probably something modern-ish, like closeups of baubles or something) in the windows.

So firstly a) do you think this would work and look good, and b) anyone know where i can get small packs (10-20 max) of 3-fold, plain white i think aperture cards, 6x4" or so would be best?

have you tried ebay? Some great prices there

or if you can't find anything there, this link has a lot of variety:

I think it sounds like a good idea - always nice to get something that someone has put a little effort into.:D

get plain card and make one first, just a rough one and it will give you an idea if you think it will work or not but I cant see why it wouldnt work.
If you have a craft shop by you you can buy them in packs of 5 but the arnt cheap. Once you have made one it is easy

Hi there,

If you have a shop nearby you called The Works they have them in there, 9.99 for 50 if my memory serves me right, they have them in cream and white and would look stunning if you could get a really colourful shot of something cool and modern. You could get sepia or black and white shots which would be quite cool and modern too. I will have a nose around the internet for you and see if I can get them cheaper.

In my local Boyes store they have packs of cards and envelopes with a variety of window shapes and sizes cut out, I thought of using them myself.

I've used this company before, prices are reasonable and the p+p charge is either very small or free.

Good service too.

PS: They have lots of craft ideas
