Can I ask if you fold your cards by hand, but ready folded or use a paper folder?

Thanks

I buy card blanks and envelopes from Craftwork Cards but sometimes make my own. I tend to just cut the card to size and fold it in half, I make sure I get a decent crease but don't use a bone folder to do it.

My local paper mill are charging 3.99 for a box of card. Just fill the box with your own choice. I thought this was a good deal but I'm new to this so maybe not:undecided They do not do pre folded but did show me how to use a paper folder which was very easy think it was 9.99.

Irlrip have sent you a pm. I don't think 3.99 for a box of card is bad.

Rusty those cards are fab . Bet your friend was happy with the news.

I use ready folded ones too, mainly from Craftwork cards but have lately had some from a local craft shop that have been OK though not quite the 6" square they are supposed to be.

Good Luck to Mr Rusty for interview tomorrow.

Peppop - good luck with house hunting - so exciting

I use prefolded card blanks, plus I get envelops with them which is a huge bonus - £5 for 50 from my local shop and a nice thickness too

sounds like you found a really nice shop Irlip who gives you great advice

Morning,

We are having an easy day today, We all went to see the fireworks on the Hoe and the children didn't get to bed until 11pm, I have to start packing for our break away and get house tidy,

I tend to buy pre done cards, the range sell them at a pack of 50 for £4.99, I do need to buy a paper trimmer though has any one got any recommendations, I'm borrowing my Mum's for the time being, Congratulations to all the winners and to everyone being picked for a design team,

Wifey I can't wait to get the bird punch, I have some lovely owl stamps that will look lovely sat on the branch

best get a shifty on

Congratulations to both winners!

Thankyou to whoever posted the link to craftwork cards (I'm sorry DD is wanting my attention and I've forgotten). I loved the scalloped edge cards when you click on the link.

I went to one craft shop yesterday and the price of those for 50, she was charging for only 10. I know where I'm shopping in future!

I tried my nesties last time for the first time. DD2 was helping ( er...hindering) me by turning the handle and we've die cut everything in sight. :rotfl:

Irlrip I tend to buy pre folded cards, unless I am making a largeish card then I just fold a piece of A4 card in half

Congratulations to all our winners, on a roll on this thread

I am off to work in a minute so no time to make anything today, hopefully as I am off the next two days I can catch up on here and on blogs
