i make my own hun, I bought a paper cutter from argos (as i cant cut a straight line for toffee lol ) and just get pastel or plain card and measure and cut into four
saves me lots of money as i used to buy them and they were quite expensive

I get all mine free, I have never paid for postcards - cinema, coffee shops, mags, online, all sorts of places give away free postcards HTH

I just used up a load of multi coloured index cards for recent comps... can't promise they will give you any wins,. but I haven't had any returned to me! I dont see why the lines should make any difference... but who knows.

Thanks guys - I tried those links Kim, one i couldnt find the samples on lol - the first I think, and one of the others the request was returned as that email didnt exsist anymore - strange anyhow told hubby were going to borders tomorrow Searched the house for a ream of card stock I bought but cant find it - sending hubby under the stairs tomorrow too lol
The index cards seem a bit flimsy - suppose I could get the glue out and set DS on - oh and not airmailing was only part of royal mail site that mentioned minimum sizes for sending

I purchase them in bulk lots of 1000 or more on ebay. I have gotten them for 99p for 1000 plus postage. It's cheaper than buying them in the shops.
