Time to actually put the pocket folds together.... a mission

Well, I've started the major process of putting the pocket folds together and god does it take ages. I've managed to put together 9 or ten of the pockets a night for the last couple of nights and it is a process.

Envelopes again....

Yes I know in my last post I was rattling on about envelope sizes and how my ones didn't fit. The ones that I had ordered from Amazing Papers in Newtown arrived yesterday in the post. And it was perfect because FH got to choose which one he thought was best before he left to go overseas for many months ... sad face.. but he comes back just before the wedding so happy face :-)

Silver and Black Envelopes (my photo)

When I pulled them out I knew immediately which one I wanted to use. I put the invite into both of them and showed FH and he picked the black matte envelope which is the one that I wanted as well. The silver one was too light and contrasted too much with the black invite.

DIY Pocketfold Invite Update.... Envelopes

Now this part of the invite making has become a mission. Note to blog readers and potential invite makers. Measure your invite and then order your envelopes and make sure there is wriggling room for the invite....

I originally ordered some Onyx (black) star dream C6 envelopes from one of my favourite eBay craft suppliers called Mr Craft Australia. I've got a lot of star dream paper from him and it's great as he posts everything pretty fast and I get it within a week or two and the paper is great quality.
