Jay,

I can probably spare you some cards, send me an email with your address.

Dave, I would appreciate some real cards. I would still like to try making my own, but it would be good to have some real ones as reference. I don't know of anyone in Canada that could send me some, unless that someone is reading this thread. I could send you some money via PayPal to cover the cost of postage and your time.

Thanks again for your help.

Better to find someone who could send you a few cards. If no one in Canada can help you out, let me know and I'll send you a some.
