Christmas Card

[jennyjoan]

I ordered and was sent the above Christmas card for sister. It was £13 - it should have been delivered next day ie 3 December. I haven't received and so contacted Etsy and the girl who makes them has or wants to just refund as she doesn't want to send another in case it doesn't arrive.

Well I am looking for a big card - quite glittery. Any help would be appreciated or of I go to hunt again.

Anything on the site that Togo mentioned when you asked about Birthday card?

They may not be large and many many places are stopping glitter now but they are lovely.

Google glitter xmas cards.

thanks Mamy - forgot about that site. You know the girl who sold me the card was very disappointed as was I - it was a beautiful card.

However I am going to have to hunt again as even buying from that link doesn't guarantee delivery with the RM.

I have told the girl that if the card does arrive - I will of course pay her.

There hasn't been any sign of any RM posties for a while and they are usually so good.

I'm just in from hairdressers and I asked her had she received any cards - no - in fact we haven't had a delivery in ages. So the delay is in RM. Ah well.

That's a shame.

Received my favourite card today. I have tried to copy it but can't.
It's three pigs trotting along one behind the other. Each has a different cover over them. Underneath it says "Pigs in blankets" I think it's wonderful.never seen one like it.

Some people here, including me, will be a bit miffed that you're trying to seek out cards with glitter when major supermarkets have decided to remove it from their shelves in order to cut down on the use of micro plastics, which are harmful to the environment:

Thank you Mamya, that's the one.

ok Chris - as usual I have used wrong words - again - I sort have didn't mean actual falling glitter as they are naturally not available.

I did mean unusual cards that you can't get in the local shops.

Chris - hope you don't think this is too glittery but this was my choice albeit in a larger size

JJ I love that Art Deco card. I'd be over the moon if someone sent that to me.

[jennyjoan]

thank you Barsel - there are just the two of us left out of a family of 8 and so I try to buy the best as we end our journey on earth.

[Barsel]

JJ,I think the word you are looking for is Glitzy, that is how I would describe it.

Those are lovely cards have just marked the site for granddaughter's birthday.

I, too, thought no glitter because of plastic waste but these are great.
