where to buy cardstock for needlework?

Does anyone know where I can purchase tri-fold cardstock with a small
cut-out to mount embroidery in the card? I have not been able to locate
any locally anymore. The one place I found online (Embroideryetcetera.com)
shows exactly what I want on their website but perhaps is no longer in
business? I'm looking for 75 cards/envelopes for a program for my smocking
guild chapter. Thanks in advance for your help.

They're very popular in the UK - I see ads for them most often in the
BritStitch magazines. Check ebay.co.uk for "aperture cards" and there's
a ton that may not be super-expensive. And amazon.co.uk has quite a
selection if you search for "aperture card blanks".

Check local camera shops - they're most often used in the US by
photographers.

Google under "window cards" and some will come up - but not many. They
just don't appear to be as popular here as in the UK.

There is this link Sew and Sew are reliable

http://tiny.cc/wxIeW go to bottom of the page

Good link. Also, here is a link for the wholesale supplier, The Yarn Tree:

They list who carries stuff from them. I know that the shop I used to
manage, Scarlet Thread, stocked a fair amount of the different stationary
packs. You might also send her an e-mail, as she is working as a web-based
shop now (B&M shop closed):
Www.scarletthread.com

The cards are pretty nice, they are available in different shaped openings.
I've also seen some recently that have perforated paper in some cut-out
openings, ready to stitch.

Try the Papersource - http://www.paper-source.com/

I believe that my local store had some when I went in there two months
ago. Don't know how often stock changes.

The other thing in camera shops is a box. Mine carries really nice
boxes with 5 x 7, 4 x 6 and 8 x 10 openings. You can easily put a
needlework piece in, makes a nice gift.

I would have thought some of those shops which carry all the
stamping/decoupage type stuff would have cards.

Would that be Carsand-Mosher, Sheena? I'm looking for some boxes myself.

thanks, Mavia

It was Black's in the Halifax Shopping Centre, I bought a couple
there. CM's have that huge store near the camera store in Bayers Lake
and they have a myriad of stuff for paper crafts etc etc, quite
possible they would have boxes too.

I did one 5 x 7 for a cousins 50th birthday, she was thrilled to bits
with it and it really didn't involve much work lol

OK, that's good to know. When making a gift of needlework I prefer mounting
it in a box also. Even if it's something that doesn't suit their taste to
put on a wall a box is always useful. Any that I have given have always
been well received.

They have cardstock, but not with the apertures pre-cut.

If you have a steady hand, Michaels has a nice selection of cards and you
can use an Exacto knife to cut your own openings.

Also if you're planning to make a lot of these cards there are various
size/shaped punches available that do a nice job. They too can be found
where you buy stamping, scrap booking materials.
