DIY Pocketfold Invites finally finished!

They took so long but they came out great!

Pocketsfolder came from Cards and Pockets (sapphire)
Papers and Envelopes are from Paper and More

They look gorgeous-that color blue is amazing!!

I replied on BHB - but I'll reply again

Those are beautiful and I can't believe you did them yourself? How long did it take?
I'm starting to think I should have DIY'd mine

They look REALLY great!!!!!

Can I ask what you used to glue the papers to the pocketfold? I bought a few different things but am not sure what is actually the best for it to STAY on permanently.

I can't even begin to calculate how long it took . I've been working on them on and off for probably a month and a half. Cutting out the cards took longest since the paper cutter I had wasnt cutting them right ( for anyone who does decide to DIY beware thin borders!) so I had to cut 3 cards for each of the 100 invites I made by hand with and exacto and a ruler For me what as worse is that I have a bad back and leaning over to cut them would put my back into spasams after only 5 or so.
They came out good and I love them but I already told FH that next time we decide to get married don;t let me do this again ...it's the perils of being a bride since no one ill ever care about the details as much as we do.

I tried tacky glue first as someone on the DIY board had said they had used but for me it was too wet even with the thinnest coat so I ended up using a rolling adhesive strip by TOMBO MONO the permanent kind.

I got it in michaels but you can get it much cheaper from ebay. I went through a lot of refills since mine had 2 layers probably 8-10 by the time i was done. But it works really well.

great job!!!! they look amazing!!!!!

Stunning!! You did a fantastic job and I love your colors!!
