i can help you to duplicate it exactly
that type of open pocketfold you can buy at paper presentation, the rest is real easy to make. You will use the cardstock one black and one white and pink that is just like that one with the verse on it. All you do is youre going to have to get the black paper all cut to the size it will be the size of the envelopment part that it goes on. Before you put the black cardstock on you'll have to attach the ribbon and you just use permanent double sided tape, trust me its what they use too. Then you put black card stock on top and again use double sided tape. Then you have the pink and white paper cut a bit smaller than the black one, usually its 1/4 inch smaller but looks like its just a little bit more bc the black shows a little more than most others. You use the double sided tape to stick the cardstock with the verse on top of the black. At this point you will have the ribbon sticking out on the sides since you laid the paper on top, then make a bow and the bottom ribbon that goes against the paper, again you do it with double sided tape
now to get that crystal i can recommend a place, its called jablonex and its a wholesale store. They have great prices but that is still a big piece so it would be at least $3 each but if you get alot maybe the guy can work with you on the price.
Trust me its real easy, looks alot more difficult than it is
and its perfect bc they have the measurements of each cardstock on the site. So you can go to paper presentation and buy the cardstock, tell them the measurements for each one and theywill even cut it for you. They charged me $6 to cut all the cardstock i had
get the thick cardstock though

you can do it dont worry, looks alot harder than it really is trust me. If you want to make it easier to have a visual, order a sample and this way you can disect the invite and see exactly how its done. Most of it will be real easy if you get the paper cut somewhere and then all you are doing is sticking one paper on top of another and basically that will be the biggest part. Then since you want a crystal just attaching that. If you can tape on cardstock to another then you are set
it does take some patience though hahaha. But you have plenty of time so can do a little at a time. I got stuck doing 175 invites in 3 days

i didnt have to do either but mine were different also. I bought the rhinestone buckle and put the ribbon through it and it went over my whole invite and that comes off. But do double sided permanent tape. First find out actually what crystal you will get and how heavy it will be.

well i went to the store and bought it myself. I remember they had for example the opal one, only had about 100lb left so i had to go with that, mightve even been more than 100lb.
