Best Card Blanks + Envelopes ?

24 replies

WhizzzBangWhizzz · 11/11/2005 17:51

OK all, where's the best place (ie cheap but good quality) for card blanks + envelopes.

Ideally I fancy a mixed pack (50 +) of different sizes

Anyone use the ones from Argos?

Hi Whizz
Do argos do card stock?

Carolinett · 11/11/2005 18:30

Whiz have a look at the card I've posted in the ALL NEW I think after sending for the book from the USA and downloading a tutorial from the USA I've finally mastered the art of Tear Bears paper pieceing. The yanks sell theirs as embellishments but I've made a card out of mine I reckon in a box I could sell these for about £3.50 to £4.00 each
What do you think

WhizzzBangWhizzz · 11/11/2005 18:39

Yes Argos do card blanks + stamps + heat embossing - allsorts !! Some are only in Extra stores tho'.

The bear is so cute ! Its definately something special - agree with your price when boxed. Could you put the childs name on it to perhaps? Or how about recording birth time & weight too as an extra special keepsake?

Ye I could put all the detail either for christening or birth on the insert and you could adapt it to have the babies name on the front I was thinking it could be a keepsake I get gold & sliver boxes of ebay and they make the whole package look expensive. I've seen similar cards & boxes in shops selling for about £7 or £8

WhizzzBangWhizzz · 11/11/2005 18:51

So come on - how do you do the bears then?

Providing you are ordering loads to get bigger discount, I reckon that PDAcardsandcrafts is wicked. Did you read my earlier thread.

WhizzzBangWhizzz · 11/11/2005 19:12

Yes what have you been up to with that bloke !

Trouble is their big packs don't come with envelopes - can you get me a deal UCM
I wanted the Tint pack but there's no envelopes

U lot are jealous. I gave him some feeeeeeeback on his pearls.

He was joyous. I also told him about his blanks, stock, and champagne flutes (hope his missus weren't listening).

He was happy all over his vellums!!!

pmsl!!

whizzz, the argos ones are good, I use them. they have a kinda textured feel to them, but you can turn them inside out to have a smooth finish. I'm on my second lot now.

PeachyChrimbo · 13/11/2005 09:41

try here for eco friendly card blanks

Course, i've had them bookmrked for a year with good intentions, but I use ebay / whatever's on offer. {blush], pmsl.

Whizzz · 13/11/2005 16:28

I got the pack from Argos 19.99 for 200 !

Also went to Makro - 50 cards with envelopes for 4.99 +VAT . Got a pack in pastel colours & one in darker colours

That should keep me going for a while !
