Would you recommend buying pre stamped images from Ebay? 1.75 for 8 of about 10 pounds to have the stamp delivered? Just not too sure of they would be ok? Has anyone done this before?

I have, and I was very happy with the stamped images I got, but as mentioned before, check the sellers feedback and double check what ink has been used and on what type of card

It's been a while since I last bought any prefolded cards with envelopes, but the last pack of 50 I bought were £4.99, which isn't a bad price.

These days I fold most of my own cards from A4 or A3 which works out to be cheaper, then I make my own envelopes.

It's all down to personal preference

a lot of us here get them from craftwork cards, they are good quality and come with envelopes. you didnt mention the size in your post above, but craftwork cards do packs of 50 5inch square for £5.00, or 50 6inch square for £6.50. here's a link to their card packs page

Morning all, I've just posted two new entries, another tilda card and my very first ATC.
The latter, which, I am more than happy to trade, though it's not as stunning as many other's ATC's lol and it does look a lot nicer in the flesh than it does in the pic!

If I get 10 or more people leaving a comment stating they want to trade then I will throw in a few of my favourite things too.
The only real rule is, you must be willing to actually trade an ATC of your own

Will close later tonight!

They can be found in the usual place

morning
have caught up on all the bl*gs (I think). Let me know if I've missed you out cos it's possible that you're not on my list.

Not into ATC's yet, sounds like a good way to just stamp and make something.

Morning all. Feel pretty awful today.

Out of curiosity - why does the word bl*g get starred?
