Can any one suggest the best place to get craft supplies from, I am looking for black C6 cards and white, silver or gold envelopes, gems stones, ribbons card toppers the list goes on .....

Making some invitations for my friends daughters 18th and I want to make them extra special, have some ideas but walking around hobby craft it's going to end up costing a small fortune

many thanks

    I personally used Craft Creations for everything I needed for my wedding invites and thought they were great:
    http://www.craftcreations.com/
    but I know quite a lot of people have been using PDA:

    I haven't used them myself as I wasn't aware of this website at the time, but I now know lots of people use them, I don't know of anywhere else I'm afraid but I know you'll spend a fortune in Hobbycraft unless you manage to grab some stuff in the sale if there is anything left

    The prices are good, and they have a great range - but keep in mind they can be very slow to deliver - sometimes up to a month, and I think the delivery is about £4 (which I find a bit high).

    Theres a link on the codes and vouchers page for a £5 off £25 spend voucher for Hobbycraft if thats any help?

    and they have a sale on too at the moment instore and online.

    I also use madaboutcards - they have a good 'poundshop' section. Delivery is about £4 as jazabelle said but that is for couriered and they email you when it has been despatched so you can follow your order online.

    I ordered with them last Thursday and had it delivered Monday afternoon. Unfortunately you've just missed their sale but they have 10% off everything at the moment until Sunday 23rd.

    HTH :D

    ETA: and of course there is also eBay - thats where I got everything I needed for my wedding invites :D
