Invitation Pocket Fold Cover - Attempt One *Flash!*

Alipops1986, 19 February, 2012 at 12:25 Posted on Planning 0 7


This is a quick flash of our pocket fold, test one! Unfortunately, computer wouldn't let me rotate it. Do you think the pearl heart looks random? Does it need a ribbon or something? Myself and OH can't decide... Although the card looks quite big on the photo, in reality it isn't, so we're going to order the larger size, so the 'Wedding Invitation' bit then won't look so big. Looking forward to your opinions, as this is only our first attempt and have limited artistic ability! Thanks, Alipops x

    I think the heart is fab and not at all random - could add ribbon but no need and not sure where.

    I don't know if this is what you mean when you say get a larger size but if you're worreid about the writing looking big/filling the space you could make the blue bit it's on bigger, so that the border of silver is smaller if you see what I mean, and it would still be the same shape on the card. Does that make sense?

    Thanks for your reply ?

    We do need a bigger pocket fold anyway,as this one was a bit too small for the inserts we've made. I'm hoping on the larger pocket folder the 'Wedding Invitation' bit, won't seem such a large square/rectangle.

    I must admit, i'm a ickle bit proud of me and OH, as we're not crafty people.

    I am massively impressed, we had a bash at our own invites and was quite pleased with them but now feel other stationery should match so am up to my ears in trying to make other things!

    Thanks Brimbletobe!

    Fortunately, OH and I are starting designing early but I think we're going to need to!!

    I'm going to make a 2nd attempt, with a thinner edge of silver.

    You should be pleased they look really good! I like the heart but I would be tempted to again make the boarder of silver card a bit smaller maybe half a cm (depending on actual size) and I would probably not take it up to the edge of the pocket fold maybe leaving a cm gap as you are never going to get them to line up perfectly so might make it easier as well if that makes sense?

    I think they look fab! Very impressed! Can I just ask you where you got your materials from? I really want to make my own but I don't know where to start!

    Thanks McCoy! I got the pocket folds from dizzyblonde**** on Ebay. They come in heaps of colours and sizes, plus they are already put together so that's superb. Our inserts we made on Vistaprint, we did this first and then chose our pocket fold on Ebay - a bit random but worked for us. Also, on vistaprint we just used Save the Date cards size wize, didn't want them too big.
