I was just wondering what index cards people use for stamping up on? :?



We have only just started using 6x4 index cards to stamp up on, as we used a book before. I bought some from Rymans and they were REALLY shiny and took forever to dry :cry:



Just bought a new pack from Staples and these seem much better.... though we shall have to wait a fair few weeks until we can test them out fully.



It seems the cheaper the quality of card the better :shock:

You can get cards at the Letterboxing Meet towards the end of the month - around £8 per 1000 I believe - simples!!!

I can never get to the meet.... i work in a school and although the October meet usually falls during the half term week.... the small issue of us living in Bedfordshire causes a likkle bit of a prob too :(

The gentleman who sells the cards at the meet has his printing shop in Okehampton. If you do any boxing in the area pop in to see him.

Further to my last post and KK`s:



He had a stall at the very entrance to the hall and from the address on his bag : Ink Print @ 3 Station Rd, Okehampton.

I wonder how much they are going to cost this season? If he is still charging £8/1000 then he is an honorable man

Have done so for about 23 years.
