Hello Everyone, Sorry to be a pain but I wondered if anyone can help me please. On some of the shows today Nancy was making cards with the Extra Large Landscape Cards (137145), unfortunately I missed out on them. I was wondering if anyone know anywhere else that stocks that size of cards. Many thanks, Jane xx

Thanks Joanna. Not sure exactly what the size is, but it appears to be 2 A4 size sheets of paper (landscaped together) (hope that makes sense - not sure if it does). Ordered the new CD yesterday, can't wait for it to arrive and have a play. Jane xx |

I just saw the bit where she used two pieces of A4 card and then overlapped them, stuck them, and chopped off a bit to make it 8 x 8. Unfortunately I
didn't see the whole show.

I bought 20 A3 sheets of white card from Staples £4.85 and 20 A4 envelopes from Poundstretchers for 99p which I think was a bargain,,the card is quite weighty
so doesnt fall when folded and stood up,,,hope this helps,,,love sue xxxxx ps when folded the A3 makes an A4 card,,

well A3 is double A4 - so I would suggest buying A3 then and folding with a bone folder .. easy peasy

I think these cards are specific to c & c its a response to customers asking for bigger cards I got a couple of the packs of the really huge cards the
straight and wavey ones, if you got those and cut them down it would work just as well

Jane,
I saw them on C&C last night. I do not think folding A3 in half will give you the size. I think you would need A2 card cut in half long ways and then folded in half. That would give you an A4 size finished card. Thanks for making me think about it as I loved the card that Nancy did last night and I also missed them. Sarah xxx |

you're right - folding in half would make the fold along the top of the card ....

Just wanted to say thanks for all your help. I might wait until they get them back in stock, if I cut card myself they never seem to be that straight !!! Thanks again, Jane x |

Hi Jane, the cards sold out very quickly, I'm not sure whether they are going to restock. A work-around is to get 2 pieces of A4, turn them to landscape,
score one piece about 1-2 inches from the left edge, fold and wrap the fold behind the other piece of A4, then stick down. Fold over the front piece (now the
front of the card) and trim off the excess 1-2 inches at the right edge. It is going to be slightly smaller than the ones on sale but you will still get the
same effect - well almost!
Hope above makes sense, if not PM me and I'll try again! |
