Thickish paper for cards

The advice that Jesthar wrote is spot on. I have been letting some friends of ours use some of my photo's on cards they make in the same way. I print out 9 snaps to a sheet of A4 and they cut them up to size and double mount them on blank cards. They then sell them to make money for charity, I am now even looking for shots myself that will be useful to them.

Thank you David but I think she just wants to make decorative cards. I got one last Xmas and it had shiny things and tiny feathers on it.

Oh, and if you have one of these shops (or similar) near you: http://www.thepapermillshop.co.uk/index.htm I'd definitely recommend a visit - you can buy a 'ream thickness' box of paper and card for (from memory) £3.99 for an A5 box, and £5.99 for an A4 box - all pick and mix from loads of colours, weights and fancy finishes. I bought a box full a while back, crammed as much in as possible, and it's still going strong!

And the best bit of all this is not only don't you have to worry about scoring and folding the cards, but you also won't be wasting very expensive photo-paper as the back of a card - twice as many cards for much less than twice money

its £4.99 per a box of "mixed".. I purchased a variety of card only today, which included a4 cream, a5 cream, yellow, gold parchment and a5 pink (hammered). As long as you dont go crazy you can get quiet a bit in one of them boxes (I got 132sheets in total a4/a5 mixed). this works out as under 4p per sheet, which is fab! Excellent quality paper/card for a low low price imo.
