I have been looking for pocketfold all day. I was thinking of making them I want to customize something for my wedding but it seems as though everything Im trying to do is not working out for me. Im usually very crafty but for some reason when it comes to me making things for my wedding I cannot do it. Why is this happening!!!! I could scream right now. I don't know how to measure these damn pockets, cant seem to order the right sizes and Im wasting way too much money in samples. Okay done venting.

I going to go binge eat right now. Im so upset. I feel like Im failing at making things for my wedding. I don't want to trust other people to do things for me. I love to make them myself but its not working out.

Where are you getting your samples from. I got my pocketfolds from cardsandpockets.com. They have pre-cut paper for their PF's. I used 3-4 different papers in mine, but from different places. Let me know if I can help. I mean it, I'm not doing anything but sittin, waiting for UFC to start!

Re: I feel like banging my head against a wall
just ask for help from friends, or hire it out. you can't do everything. I was about to bite off more than I could chew (doing the calligraphy for the invitations), and then I paid to have them done. I SOOOO don't regret it.
Pass of on a DIY or 2, and then you may feel you can do the rest yourself...

Re: I feel like banging my head against a wall
I ordered the Vertico sample and that was like crap to me. It was so small. I was wondering what is a reasonable size. Then I tried to order some other samples just now and I couldn't get my card to go throught. I was like what the hell, the card is perfectly fine. I just used it today. Then it told me too many attempts contact store. But I realize that Im spending too much on these damn samples.

My friends and BP is pissing me off right now, so I won't even go there. I have no help, just me all alone doing this. FH is useless when it comes to this stuff.

Wait you are making the actual pockets??? Thats insane... I could imagine why you are going crazy...
Do you know that you can just buy them! Check out Paperpresentation.com
Then you can make the insides bu you don't have to make the actaul pocket fold!
I would kill myself if I had to do that!

Yeah we thought the vertico was too small too. We got the 6x6 perfetto. I love it. My paper insert sizes are 5 1/8x 5.75, 5, 4.25, 3.5. If you need anymore help let me know. I was very frustrated, but also very determined to get what I wanted! I ordered about 5 diff samples from, them. In the end it was worth all the money for samples (BTW $3.50 for samples is nothing, think about it you could prob lose that money in the wash and not even realize it!) Good Luck and don't panic, just breathe, it'll all work out.

My inserts are the same size. I am doing perfectto but making them from scratch. That cost me 70 bucks vs. 350.
