Aww thanks suzanne, millie sue, secretstamper and grannydolly. That made me feel good, but have you ever seen a rabbit in headlights? That would be me if I had to demo in public Hina had very narrow parameters to work within to produce anything on the large cards - whereas I had my whole craft mountain. And if you'd seen me today trying to do an unexpected, urgent card, you'd have thought the...

Not impressed with these at all, too big for me dread to think what they would cost if you had to post one. Your cards are gorgeous Susan, you could definitely show C & C a thing or two.

I love big cards, but I find it cheaper to go to Art shop and buy sheets of A1 and cut them down to size I want. I can buy a sheet of Pearlescent card for 80p. A1 size, I call that good value.

I didnt think the quality was great either!

I was patiently awaiting them to stand a card up, for it to fall over, I think I would have wet myself laughing

Yes, I think she was. The ones last night were much bigger and flimsy-looking. I think they said they were A2 folded, but not too sure???

Nancy was making cards that were about A4 when folded, I think.

I was quite disappointed by the show, although according to them they seemed to be selling alot. I thought it could prove quite expensive to suddenly have to stock up on large foam pads, etc. Not into these large cards at all, except as a one-off for someone leaving work. I did like the larger cards that Nancy has been demo-ing recently, but I don't think they were as large as the POD, were they? Maybe I'm wrong.

I didn't like them and don't see the point of them unless a lot of signatures are required on a card and that's not an everyday occurance!

Re: Tonight's POTD?

I too am not impressed with either the size of quality of the cards.

They remind me too much of my ex M.I.L who always sent this size of card back in the 70's!!! Ok for offices etc to sign and send but I don't think for the everyday person to send, infact I think I would be offended if someone sent me a card that size,

Sorry if I've offended anyone by this but it's just my thoughts and opinion.

I noticed they did not attempt to stand any of the samples up. Perhaps they would have fallen over. Definitely too flimsy for that size.

They are too big for me too and definitely looked in the falling down category of card thickness he he. I also love the 8" x 8" and normally make the envelopes by cutting down A4 white envelopes.

Not my cup of tea, too large and i agree it doesn't appear to be a very good weight. I wonder how much they would cost to post? The only thing I think I would use them for, would be if someone wanted a leaving card in an office or a 18th or 21st in a work place.

Waiting to see what the cupcake cd potw is like on Sunday.

bye for now Kim xx

I recognise the envelopes out of the set, they were on the 11am show on their own.

I dont do large cards so my credit card is saving its stamina for when i get joannas flower cd next month.

they look very flimsy
and dont think you could put much weight on front befor they fell over
so not for me i will be sticking to my a4...

I think they look flimsy as well, and they're a bit too much on the large size for me.

Well they seem to be going like hot cakes but I'm thinking they are just tooooooo big. 8" x 8" square would be nicer.

My friend was wondering if there is any more info on tonight's POTD yet?
Huge cards POTD. But how many etc., and plain envelopes instead of red etc??
Plain card or more printed cards etc like kits?
Thanks.
