Pocketfold invites ... help offered!!

Phyzelda

Following my earlier post http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2272213

if anyone requires any help, please let me know!!

The text boxes are saved as a mircosoft word document, so I could email a copy to you and the background card measurements I will be cracking on with mine later tonight, so can measure them too.

So if anyone is doing the same A6 pocketfold invites... feel free to shout!!!

They do take some work, but they are worth it.

I made mine easier by having the text in a text box which made them easy to cut.

All I have left to do is size and cut all my backing card, and get sticking!!

Ugh I'm having major problems trying to print mine!! Mine are A5 though... I've designed them in photoshop and all the printers I've contacted have said that they can't get it to work on paper, even though I made sure I sized the document to the exact measurements, and I can't print them at home because my stupid printer won't take the card . I'm gonna have to try transfer it into word somehow but I'm worried its going to cause some loss of quality.

Phyzelda

It's difficult, but take your time and have a play in word.

I started by measuring the pocket fold and then using text boxes. At least you can make the text boxes to the size you require and you'll know how to fit the wording in.

Go on give it a go hun

Have you considered printing on paper and then attaching to the card? Thats what im doing as i cant print on card at home either, im using pearlised paper with a backing card.

That's what I'm probably going to do, need to get some nice paper from somewhere.

This is the paper I used http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310200438992&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:GB:1123

It's lovely and sparkly

Can I ask how you got the ribbon to stick on and not fray.
I am wanting to do a length of ribbon possibley across the envelopes but am not sure how to stick it on so its nice and neat .
