These invitations are my love and joy. Way too many hours were put into them, both designing and making. I used the 5x7 Signature pocketfolder in blush from cardsandpockets.com. I used black linen cardstock, stardream quartz text weight paper, and superfine white text weight paper, both from Paper Source. I used the black as my layering piece, both on the main invitation and for my inserts. The stardream paper was used on the outside of the invite with our names and also the inserts. The superfine white paper is what I printed the main invitation portion on.
Using seven clear Heidi Swapp damask stamps, a Fiskars stamp press, clear embossing powder, a Versamark ink pad, and an embossing heat gun, I painstakingly embossed 120 invitations. I designed the inserts in Adobe Illustrator and everything was printed at Kinkos. I finished the pocketfolder by using a 5/8" black satin ribbon and a small square with our names on it. If I were to do it again, I would have put each guest's name on it instead. I used a Scotch ATG 714 tape gun for fastening everything. I highly recommend this tape gun especially if you do a lot of scrapbooking! The gun itself is expensive, but buying the roles of tape is much more economical than buying those little tape runners.
I used a stardream envelope in rose quartz for both the outside and RSVP envelopes. I did my own handwritten calligraphy and it cost $1 to send each one because they were too thick. Like I said, way too many hours were put into them, but the response from the guests were incredible!
