Oh what a good idea....................... especially some I have that are a little on the flimsy side for me.............. I also will try them together into
a concertina card/book thing........

Brilliant Idea
I got stuck with 50 A6 cards after a mix up with C&C I got tired of trying to swap them for the Silicone glue I ordered and kept them because they were the same price I paid but I didn't have a clue what to do with them so they're still sealed in the bag they came in, now that I know they're useful for something I'll open the package and see what they're like. Thanks Mary Brenda |

I think C6 cards can be quite useful, they are good for christmas cards, good for small thank you cards and making concertina or star cards. It is also the
corrct card size for the Marie Curie card appeal thingy. Never thought about them for the bookatrix so thanks for the tip x

I sell my cards at work and people like the c6 size especially if they have to post them.

Good tip. I have my own mountain too Terrie!
I also make this size for nearly all my Christmas cards (to prevent the extra postage partly) and also to make as packs to sell cheaply(4-6 per pack) - a lot of people seem to prefer them for some reason. I also don't feel bad charging 50p- 75p for a small card and I would for a large one! Stupid isn't it, especially as I often put as much or more work into the A6 one!! Janet |

I started cardmaking with the C6 cards but soon found the size just a little too restrictive and now prefer the 7x5 size!
I do keep some C6 cards for Thank Yous or just a quick note cards! As for the postage Ive found that cards up to A5 size---A4 folded in half will go normal first class UNLESS its too Thick! It doesnt take much to make cards too thick and need a large 1st class stamp even if its a small size card! Incidently I was in WHS today with Mum buying books and we checked out the cards! I was horrified at the prices of some of them ! There was one there not quite A5 size with a very simple slightly raised pic on it costing £4 70! So Please ladies & gents dont feel guilty at charging what you consider a reasonable price for your creations! Margaret |
