Invitations!

Since most people should have received their invitations by now, I thought I would post a few pics! These babies were definitely a labor of love! They basically started out as 8 1/2 by 11 sheets of paper and through lots of printing, cutting, corner rounding and gluing...they became our invitations!!

All the components stacked up, ready to be assembled!
(I blurred any personal information for blogging purposes)


The outer envelope and the pocket-fold all closed up


The "guts"!

All the paper that I used is Stardream Metallic - in Ruby, Mars, and Copper. I shopped around for the best prices and ultimately purchased the envelopes and paper from Envelopemall.com and the pocket-folds from CardsandPockets.com. I would definitely recommend either site if you're looking to purchase any supplies! Also a tip: when printing on Stardream paper, you must have a laser jet printer otherwise your ink will smear!!

I was extremely pleased with the way they turned out and I think everyone else likes them as well! Now, onto the next project!

Having been a part of the preparation side of these I can vouch for the fact they were created with much thought involved by you and the assembly was a labor of love.....awwwwwww, a labor of love for a couple in love. How sweet... LOVE THE INVITES!
