Card Making

[237SJ]

Does anyone here make greetings cards? I saw some little hand made cards the other day which had miniature single rosebuds on them. I`ve had a look online and they are either silly money, too big or are bunches of roses which are too bulky to put on a card that has to go through the post. Does anyone have any favoured sites where I can source them please?

Those little bunches are taped together. You can split them into singles.

Amazon UK miniature roses 144 per pack all colours. Sorry can’t do links

These are possibly bigger than you want but gives an idea.

You'll always get some bulk if you add 3-D embellishments.

They sell them in the Works a pound a small bunch easy to split down. Baker Ross are cheap

forgot to say I put a small piece of bubblewrap over them when I send them through the post.

One thing to be aware of with embellishments on cards is that it may increase the cost of postage if it makes the envelopes too large for the normal rate (it depends upon how zealous the Royal Mail is).

Thanks for the replies and the link. The Works - I hadn`t thought of that. I go in there quite often.

I got some from Hobbycraft , if you have a store near you they may still sell them. Even one small bud will probably mean a large stamp which is why I rarely use them now.

eBay sell loads of craft project items. I've been busy there myself buying this that and the other but in my case i'm a stickerholic! ha ha.
It's a shame you're not after stickers as i could give you a load of places where i shop for mine online

Craft Stash and Buddly craft are places I use too
Also Vibes and scribes.
But mostly shop around ebay. Only problem with some outlets they are coming from chiina and take ages, so just be careful of where seller is located.
Just been stocking up myself on bits and pieces.

Just by chance, I found these on the Hobbycraft web site. I was looking for Calligraphy items.
