 How do make bunny Blanks? What is the best way Just print them out and Tape them on or is there a kind of paper that you can use to print stickers. Or Just use Stock paper. Please post what you use be specific(Instead of I print it out and glue them on. Put I print them out (3030 Laser jet Printer on reagular Printer Paper) and Glue(elmer's glue stick) on(Bunny Blanks).

I've never actually printed and assembled my own Blanks...but if I did this is how I would go about it: I know office supply places (like Office Max and Staples) sell 8.5x11" sheets of sticker paper. You can stick that in your printer...you'll have to use a Xacto knife to cut them out...but it should work well. You just have to make sure the card image is to size. If you have Illustrator (or similar program) I'd check before clicking print. Staples and Kinkos have a printing service and will probably print the files for you for a fee (@ Kinkos an 8.5x11" 4x color page is $1 each). I know you wanted specifics...this is the best I can offer...I would avoid glue though. It has the tendancy to wet and warp paper products. Do a test run first if you choose to go this route. *BB01*  |

I used sticker paper in the past.
.....In the distant past before bunny blanks, I used a scan of a blue back, elmer's glue stick to a blank sheet of paper, then put the image on a 3rd sheet of paper to the other side, then used a laminate machine. This gave a quality about 90% as good as sticker paper + bunny blanks, but took too long.

This is how I've made my own cards using Avery Sticker Project Paper. For those outside North America, Avery does not make an A4 size (I've asked their reps). If your printer can print all the way to the edges of the paper, you might be able to fit 9 cards on a page (3 x 3 matrix). Most printers are able to print 8 cards in a 4 x 2 matrix (formatted in landscape). Even inexpensive printers should be able to print 6 cards in a 2 x 3 matrix. After printing them out, cut using any favorite (sharp) cutting tool and apply to the backs. I use the slippery side of the backing material to press the stickers down, working from one end to the other, to ensure good adhesion. If using self-printed backs, they won't be quite as stiff as regular cards. I also use poly sleeves to protect the cards. This helps them all have the same "feel". Unfortunately, I haven't found any storage cases where the cards fit properly when in sleeves.

My only queston is what is the best paper to stick the cards onto. |

I have done some of both.
But remember I use the vinyl sleeves, which make all the cards "feel" the same.

I use 110 lb. paper for the backs and I use Avery adhesive for the fronts.

This seems like a good way to do it because I don't use the vinyl sleves.
