    Awww I'm so touch by peoples reaction to them!!! Thank you all for being so kind

    (sorry this is a quick reply I'm at work!!)
    The outter envelope card was the A6 one from http://www.pdacardandcraft.co.uk/mer...tid=89&pid=799

    The insert card was from hobby craft

    and the paper i printed on was http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...EOIBSA:GB:1123

    The ribbon and velcro dots were also from hobbycraft

    Hope this helps, any more questions feel free to ask, though sorry if i don't reply for a week, I'm off on holiday tommorrow.

    Thanks

    I don't mind Steph, I really enjoyed making that one, and they are going into mass production as soon as I'm back from Egypt (future in laws taking us)

    Sorry to plague you with questions but they look SO impressive! did you print them at home? I take it you printed them on cream paper and then stuck the info page on to the red backing?

    Thank you mrsW2b.
    The trial run I did print at home, however my uncle works for a print company so is going to print them for me.
    The wording was printing on the paper purchased from ebay, with a red border around the text. then mounted onto the burgandy thin card from hobbycraft

    Hope this helps

    Can i ask if you just used normal scissors to cut the ribbon?

    I have satin ribbon for mine and it looks a right mess when i cut it. looks all frayed and rubbish :(
    What matters most is how well you walk through the fire

    Generally cutting fabric stuff - get some new sharp scissors - and DON'T LET THEM ANYWHERE NEAR PAPER!!! (My mother used to threaten us with death or worse if we used her sewing scissors for anything else) - should make a nice clean cut if you do that (try somewhere like Dunelm Mill for cheap good scissors).
