on the site can you tell me exactly what you purchased to make your invites?

The pocketfold is sparkling sapphire, the silver is metallic card stock, and the matte text weight paper is snow white. The rest you have to design and just get off the internet or craft stores.

Invites look great! I am happy you printed on your own because I used Cards and Pockets to print my invitation and they came out horrible! I should have did it myself!!!! Waste of money!

I really like the invitations and the card box. One thing I was told that you may want to consider is that if your invitations are square you pay more in postage. Just an FYI

This!
I think your invite looks amazing!! but yeah, i looked into it and it is $1.00 per invite at the lowest, could be more if they are weighty. thats what made me change my idea from square to rectangel

Thanks so much guys!

I got everything for the invitations from Cards and Pockets and designed it myself. I didn't say I would post a tutorial and I don't think I can because I really wouldn't know what to say! I just kind of played around with the design until I liked it and used a paper cutter. They sell the sizes you would need pre-cut but they are more expensive so I just am doing everything on 81/2x11 and cutting them.

Everything for the card box I purchased at the Craft Center in Queens by Howard Beach. The boxes were there along with the ribbon, material, rhinestone buckles, and rhinestones (although I used my left overs from my cake topper). Then I just figured out how to make it. I had no clue what I was doing and really can't tell people how to measure the material cause I just did it by testing.

OMG!!! I live in Lindenwood! Is the craft center lady jane? i've been meaning to go in there and check out what they have, i cant believe you got this stuff there. YOU, MISS, ARE REALLY TALENTED!! they look store bought and super chic and modern! FANTASTIC JOB!!!
