Card/Paper

Hi everyone

Due to being thoroughly inspired by what everyone is doing on here, I am starting to make lots of bits for xmas!

Where does everyon ebuy their card from? I want sheets of card and/or paper, some i need a pack of say 10 sheets, others i only need one or two sheets. Where do most people buy from?

Thanks
Claire

    Hi Claire,

    I usually get my card from Paper Mill http://papermilldirect.co.uk/cheap-card-and-paper as you get a big box of A4 card for £4.99 and you can choose exactly what colours you want from a big selection. I know this is more than the 10 sheets you require but perhaps in the long term if it is something you are interested in :). I go directly to the shops and I am not sure how it works online. The boxes I get in store seem bigger than the ones online??

    Oh and cereal boxes for templates.

    I am sure someone more Moneysaving and experienced in paper craft than me will be along to advise you as well :)

    If you only want a few sheets then The Works is probably your best place they sell packs of 10 sheets.

    You can also try Poundland and Home Bargains. I have just bought 16 x A4 Sheets of Gold and Silver Holographic card from HB for 79p
