I gave up trying to sell my cards, I have my personalised stamp and stamp that on the back and also add in a mini moo business card with my details on and if it is for an order then I place one of the business cards into the cello bag. what sort of boxes are you making? just ones to post them? I wonder if it would be worth doing a group buy on boxes and split them? obviously the more you buy the cheaper they are but could maybe split them into a group? alternatively look at something like the CD mailers but ones to fit the cards.

Padster, your OH sounds like mine ... I am waiting for loads of stuff to be done and it never gets done, I recently hired a gardener for the jungle, they did a fab job in 7 hours :rotfl: has taken OH over 3 years and he still never started it!

Rusty I'm drowning in cards :rotfl:thats the only reason I want to sell some. The boxes are just plain pearlised card ones its the strong corrugated ones I think I need to post them, I looked at the CD ones and DVD but they are too small. I don't mind having to buy about 10 or even at a push 20 but its a lot to lay out if they don't sell. OMW I would die of shock if I sold one ala bev:rotfl:Mind you they are just fabulous and deffo out of my capabilities.

Padster I'm the gofer and cleaneruper:rotfl:My plastering skills are better than his, it must be all the years I decorated cakes with buttercream:rotfl:

Selling one like her would mean you could put the others all in as freebies :rotfl::rotfl:
I may have to try plastering when we have our damp problem sorted - think it might be a little expensive but after 120 years stood here I think I might need a bit of "help"

So the mail boxes need to fit in the boxes you keep the cards in? I found these the other day which I thought wasn't a bad price ... considered it myself but not got to buying yet!

Artydoll - Can you tell me where you got your prisma pencils from please? I am after some greys!
