Oh! i just did 70 of them and they were loved by everyone...Just a sec and I will find my instructions. in the meantime you may peruse my gallery to see them!

so I have found the diagram...I am looking for the written part.double pocket diag fold card.pdf

ETA...apparently I did not do a written instruction...hope this helps. I did score them on my Score Pal and that is the turn you may see and scored on the 3'' line but setting the corners on the 6'' lines.

The folds for the scores are the trick to get the pockets even. The template here at SCS does not have even pockets. And, once you have them done they WILL not fit into the standard envelop. Michaels carries and slightly larger pearlized envelop that is perfect.

Also... we wanted the card to open to the invite inside so the card has a regular fold. Some instruction have you fold the front 2 pieces as one.

We have a reason...some got the invite to Vegas (omg--2 weeks and I have not finished the dress!) and some got the invited to the Dallas reception. The pocket held the View On-Line information and the back pocket was the rsvp.


I found my ugly hand written notes for the inserts...I will post that after I scan it.

Ok...this is so scrawled but I have to leave for the day and thought maybe you could figure them out...

:p

Oh, and the weird measurements in a line? That is the placement on the cutter so you cut the belly bands with each cut...I am lazy and just wanted to move the paper over and have one cut for each! I use the 12 inch platform Tonic...and I love it!
