Talking of Ebay...

[steffy]

Hi Everyone

After plucking up the courage to approach some businesses about selling my cards I was really disappointed that nobody seemed interested. I rang a few places after leaving samples and they said the main thing they didnt like was the ' stick on writing' (peel offs to us cardmakers!)

After a long search I finally found an alternative on ebay. You buy the cards and they come with a ready made foiled greeting.Low and behold I went back to a few places and i am now selling at two venues and they are selling at £2.95!!!! yipee. I think this was down to a more professional finish.

I have been getting them ever since so just wanted to share it with everyone. I think the ebay shop link is www clares-cards.co.uk but if you typed in hot foiled cards Im sure it will come up.

I have just ordered some Christmas ones so fingers crossed.

Bye for now.

Well done!!

I, too, am not keen on peel offs although I have used them but sometimes I went to the bother of printing on the card (takes an age to place the text !!). The foil printing sounds great! :D

Ebay has so much different stuff that can be hard to find anywhere else.
I buy my office supplies (envelopes, etc) from ebay although the guy I buy from has now set up his own business and I started to buy direct. Even when I look around they still seem to be the cheapest!

I was looking at pewter tankards on ebay for a present for someone and found one that can be engraved - I'll definitely get it, perfect. Now where else and how much time could it have taken me to look for these! Hadn't even thought of the engraving bit!!

I think some shoe repair shops do tankerds with engraving.May be worth a look.
