chelbel1981 - Thank you for the offer. I may take you up on it yet! :T

I'm here when you need me

I can't upload a new pic of mine cos my camera is broke but will try and get one on over the weekend.

BTW I didn't bother buying paper the right size plus they charged a hell of a lot more for smaller paper, I made 4 on an A4 and used a paper slicer (kindly borrowed from work )

i got the stickers off handyhippo. 61p/sheet although you may find it cheaper to pay more elsewhere unless you are ordering a few bits from there (as i did) cos the p&p adds upi if you go to loads of different places. I think i got about 5 sheets of 21 stickers plusthe brown card from there. the cards, i bought unfolded off ebay (hammer effect) and bought teh envelopes seperately. it worked out loads cheaper and teh folding was a helluva lot easier than expected. trick is t fold tehm wrong way first and tehn right way. they dont line up either (it makes it easier to open.. about 1.5mm difference..) here is link for stickers. it was honestly so easy, my kids ended up helping me with teh last lot and they still looked fab.

you do need to practice a little with teh stickers but the trick is to rip them out quickly but they are easy to 're peel' is you make an error.

I printed inserts myself but i cut them out to stcick them in.

the beauty of home made invites is that if they look a tad crooked, it all adds to the effect rather than taking away from stuff.

My H2B altered the template and put it into a word doc with columns! It made them slightly wider but meant they went through the printer easier! I had already made 60 of them. I cut them out before printing them. 3 in wide - I was left with smaller lengths of card which have become my place name cards! They really are worth the effort. Had loads of comments and they cost so little! I have done mine in red - I want a red dress! Need to get that sorted this weekend!

Hi ladies. Thanks for this thread! Am very impressed with the pure invitation design process and the prices seem pretty good! I could almost make out they were completely handmade!! Can you get samples of their papers to see the colours properly and to lay them side by side to see what goes together?

ETA: I've just seen that you CAN order samples! Might have to do that. Love the new blackcurrant colour but I haven't got a colour theme yet!
