They do look really good, I have been playing with the add an aperture feature! Also, the trial packs look good value. But best of all, they are incredibly near to me . Think I might have to just visit them....

suzi2 · 05/11/2005 15:32

Wow - the trial packs on special offer are fab! My DH has iven me permission to go shopping

UCM · 05/11/2005 18:10

The card blanks are very cheap too !
50 pastel cards + envelopes for 8.50!

jayzmummy · 05/11/2005 18:53

Ive had a good look round and they certainly appear to be very reasonably priced.....just a little concerned about the quality of the cardstock used, so I am going to order the introduction pack and will let you know what the cards are like in RL.

UCM · 05/11/2005 20:14

Oh well as usual I have gone in head first, arse later.

Ordered 150 cards in different sizes, deckle edged/hammered/coloured glittery ones plus envelopes and cello bags.

also 50 sheets of backing paper (various)

plus 200000 sheets of mulberry paper in every colour.

Errrm I ordered something else, but can't remember.

Anyway 74.01 free delivery over 40.00

Oh, cards boxes for A5's.

What I like was the fact that they do cello bags & envelops for A4 Cards. Unusual.

Am all spent/maxed/fireworked out. Probably should have done the sensible thing & spent 7.50 on the welcome pack.

But I have got orders coming out of my ears and need the stuff. Have used half of what ordered already.

Watch this space. It's probably them bosnians that were on Ebay!!

I've ordered all the welcome packs plus a few other bits I was needing anyway. £20. Will report back on the quality...!

UCM · 05/11/2005 20:45

The GSM/2 on the paper was high.

WhizzzBangWhizzz · 09/11/2005 18:27

Whats the verdict on this stuff then - anyone got any yet ?? I'm tempted !

UCM · 09/11/2005 19:30

Nope, not yet. Am a bit peeved as they sent me an email saying they would email me when my order is dispatched. No email as yet. Am going to phone them tomorrow. I need this stuff quite quickly.

OP posts:
suzi2 · 09/11/2005 22:11

Apparently mine has been dispatched and should be here in the next 2 days.

UCM · 09/11/2005 22:49

Thats good, was starting to worry as they seem a bit too good to be true pricewise.

melissasmummy · 10/11/2005 14:49

Where do you find the welcome packs? Was told by a friend about this, but have searched & can't fine them

suzi2 · 10/11/2005 20:30

Mine have arrived! Card quality is pretty good - I ordered all 3 sample packs. Not convinced on the background papers - but then I've never been a huge fan of them.

The colour clips are good - looks like they have a lot of nice card colours. & they sent me 3 sets of colour clips so I will use the others!

BTW, welcome packs are on the special offers page.

WhizzzBangWhizzz · 10/11/2005 20:34

I was tempted by the pastel card pack - the packs for £1 look too good to be true !

UCM · 10/11/2005 20:48

I phoned them today to find out where my order it. They have said that it's to be dispatched to the carrier today and should arrive in next 2 days. Glad you like the quality Whizz as I have spent 75 quid with them.

WhizzzBangWhizzz · 10/11/2005 20:49

No UCM I've not ordered yet !

UCM · 10/11/2005 20:57

Sorry meant Suz
