    Question looking for acetate card blanks

    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 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!
