Can anyone recommend anywhere online to buy acetate card blanks. I have found some on craftwork cards but they work out at 70p each and I was hoping to find cheaper It need to be firm enough to stand itself
Another question while I'm at it... is inkjet suitable acetate flimsy or can you make a card from it that would stand unaided?

hi sugarplum
i buy my acetate from joanna sheen as it is quite a bit firmer than others i have tried, as to inkjet acetate it is very flimsy

I think you are looking for pre-scored:

Sugarplum, you need to look at the mic weight of acetate, as this tells you how robust it is. Have a look here (http://www.pdacardandcraft.co.uk/merchant.ihtml?step=4&lastcatid=17&pid=172) for heavyweight acetate at only 22p a sheet, but you would need to score it yourself (which is not a difficult job) and they do charge a hefty P&P for orders under £40.
And I agree with the above, inkjet acetate is too flimsy to be a card blank in it's won right.

Gosh, never knew you could get pre-scored acetate blanks - I always just crease my own!

I know it's cool - for some reason I'm rubbish at creasing all types of material, acetate is bad so I prefer the pre-scored - my secret is out!
