Hi, I'm making pocketfold invitations and am using a heavy cardstock. i tried using cement glue to make the pocket, but it comes right off.
any recommendations?? i'd appreciate the name brand and where i can buy it.

i went into the scrapbooking section at ac moore. There is a product called Continuous Glue Strips. This stuff is like what the credit cards come attached to on the letters. Its neat and holds steadily.

I was thinking about doing the same thing I would use the scrapbooking glue. It's in a dispenser and it comes out in a straight line. Where did you come up with a template, I was just gonna order the pocketfolds.

I actually made my own template. i wanted to use the envelope that can be used for regular paper that is folded in half. so i bought a large sheet of heavy cardstock and cut the height to 8.5 and the length to maybe 17 inches(?). the inside panel is half the size of regular paper.
it's a pain to cut and score and fold the papers, but it's certainly cheaper then ordering. i used a butter knife to score so the edges don't look bad.

I used tacky glue to glue the invite on, and I needed 3 bottles to do the pocketfolds and 100 invites, cost me around $10 with 40% off coupons. Each bottle let me glue on 50 invites.
