what size are your cards?

[poppiesinaline]

Mine tend to be either C6 or DL size but some people are requesting A5 size when ordering their cards from me, which is fine, BUT I can not find nice A5 envelopes or A5 cellophane bags anywhere :( - well at a reasonable price anyway.

Any ideas?

I tend to make mostly A5 now. I get my card from The Paper Mill and fold it myself with an accucrease (sp?) board. I get envelopes and poly bags from Craft Creations, but Ideal Envelopes are also very good so I am told.

I usually buy in 500 at a time to get them the best price, then they sit in a drawer in their poly bag and I use them 1 by 1.

I do actually need to buy some more in soon, so if you (or anyone else) are interested in sharing the bulk price and P&P let me know.

I get my envelopes on ebay, the A5 ones anyway.

My cards were always c5, but altely far more A5 or I have done a few pyramid ones (the docrafts derivative ones), I'm not convinced though TBH. Been using a lot of pearlescent blanks too.

i make a combination of a5, AND c6 plus the odd DL one thrown in for good measure

I buy the cards from the local craft shop or fold card from the Paper Mill. The cello bags I get in bulk from a seller on Ebay

I will say it again, PDA Card & craft, can't recommend them enough. Their envelopes are lovely and if you are making loads of A5 cards, very cheap. It works out cheap for me as I make a lot of my A5 cards out of packs of canon 200gsm A4 card. Like photocopying paper but card. I picked up 8 reams at an auction for 8.00 BARGAIN!!! Word of warning though, they do 2 sizes of envelope very similar. One of them you have to cut off a bit of your card, to fit in. The ones I buy are 229mm x 158mm. It really is worth buying 200, you will use them eventually and if you keep them stored properly they don't go yellow. Good luck

Forgot to add I pretty much only make A5 cards now & Tall ones 16 x 9cm, they do let you mix sizes IIRC.

oh how annoying! Just done an order from craft creations! Didnt see their A5 envelopes or bags .
