Default Attaching ribbon to gatefold card?? Help!
I'm making 200 wedding invitations, and the bride has chosen a gatefold card and wants ribbon around the invitation and tied in the front. I have a hand held rectangular punch to thread the ribbon through, but it's difficult to use (especially on 200 cards!!) Any suggestions as to another way of attaching the ribbon? It would be nice to have the ribbon attached, rather than to untie and have the ribbon fall completely off the invitation. HELP!!!

Can you attach the ribbon to the back of the invitation with doublestick tape or glue dots? If the ribbon isn't sheer, this should work. Also for non-sheer ribbon, I use my ATG gun.

My first thought would be a false back ie. glue the ribbon to the back and then cover it with cardstock that covers the entire back.

Does the card base have an insert/layer attached or is the printing directly on the gatefolded card itself?

Thank you for your replies...the stamping is directly on the gateway card. I have thought of using glue dots...I'm using SU taffeta ribbon, in choc. chip. I'll give that a try! Thanks so much!

By the way, what is an ATG gun? Is that a hot glue gun?

It's tape and would probably make this process faster - its the gun that many picture framers use. About a $50 initial outlay for the gun itself but I don't make a card without it.

This is where I got mine good service and would use them again - http://www.framingsupplies.com/3M/Sc...dTapesPage.htm

What she said! I use it on every card I make, and couldn't imagine tacking 200 cards without it!
