Just curious if cutting the cardstock is that much cheaper than buying premade?

I'm not sure..I spent a total of $50 for all of the paper for my inserts and invite, $40 for metallic mounts and $40 for the pocketfold cardstock.

Re: Pocketfolds w/directions: Updated w/new pics
what size glue dots did you use and how many per side of the pocket were used?
i am contemplating if i should use glue dots or double sided tape

Re: Pocketfolds w/directions: Updated w/new pics
I used the medium sized glue dots and stretched them so the entire flap was secured. I wouldn't suggest double sided tape only bc you have make sure the adhesive is a thin as possible so the inserts don't get stuck. It may be hard to cut really thin strips of tape.
