WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You did an amazing job!!!!!!!!!!


Only thing I'm thinking.... The piece in the front with your names that the bow will be attached to...
could you made the card stock ivory instead of navy? It looks a tiny bit dark and I think with the ivory it will make your names pop a little more.

---

i printed it on a ivory card stock..... should the backing for it maybe be the same color as the inserts paper?
it's a metalic stardream paper also

---

i agree - if you made the backing the same as the inserts paper, your names would pop more. i think you did an amazing job - i wish i could do something diy, but i am so not that person.

---

Yup... thats wha I was trying to say. I love it though!

---

okies i'll try it out i think your right thoughthe blue on blue kinda blends too much.
thank you

---

how does something like this work?
i will use the same color as the inserts this was just a scrap but you get the idea.

---

yes! it looks great! your names really pop now!! i really love them!!

good job!!!!!!i really like it

thank you all
i'm happy with the way it came out and it def looks better with the tag mounted on the ivory

beautiful... I thought I had patients for DIY but you take the cake. The pocketfold is beautiful... How did you get the envelope liner in there?

---

basically i took a peice of cardstock and made myself a template from the actual envelope. then cut out 9' strips of wrapping paper.
traced the template on the paper and cut it out.

then just take it and place it in the envelope. when i'm ready for the envelopes i'm going put double sided tape on the flap og the envelope just to keep the liner in place.

if you have worked with DIY invite kits you know how thin the envelopes are. I wasn't thrilled with the envelopes buty i really didn't want to buy more envelopes..... so i'm doing liners

FH keeps trying to get me to open up a shop with his VA small bushiness loan.

I thought about it but i think i would burn out from doing this stuff that much. Plus with the economy the way it is I really don't want to use his only chance at that kind of opportunity and it end up not working out in the long run.

But i am thinking about it . He reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy wants me to do it like now.

I have a few small projects i'm doing for friends but nothing that could really develop into a big enough customer base. That is what you really need in that kind of bushiness good word of mouth... i mean wow look at tessa every one loves her work and recommends it all the time. I don't think i could ever compete with her beautiful work.

I really like the liner
