lol I know what you mean Mrs Tidge, if they were for myself to give to men I wouldn't be too bothered but most of them are orders, which I like to put a bit more effort in to

I don't know what my neighbours are up to but it sounds like they are about to burst through the wall!! :mad: they only moved in a few weeks ago and they are much noisier than the previous lot :rolleyes:

Hi all hope everyone is ok, fab. things on blogs. Hope you dont mind me asking but where do you get your card blanks from - do you all use a particular site - or purchase in store?? When I started Rainmac very kindly sent me some and I have nearly used them all I particularly like the scalloped edge ones - wondering if places do mixed bundles, had a look on a couple of sites but there are loads to choose from and I am no good at making decisions!!! Or do you tend to make your own and your own envelopes?? Many thanks!

The Dovecraft packs of 50 cards and 50 envelopes are usually only around £4.99 - think the Anitas ones are about the same. Theres a lot of places that sell them so i would google and see who has cheapest postage

Ali - I am very into the Craftwork cards blanks at the moment, I like their square 6x6 inch and their scalloped ones too. the smaller scallop ones are £5.00 for 50 cards here, they come with envelopes and the larger are £6.50. there are also some square straight edged ones a bit further down on the same page

they are excellent quality card and really strong envelopes, in fact all their stuff is good. They are going to be at the stamp show in Doncaster on the 25th so I'm hoping they have some show specials.
