DIY pocketfold instructions

I made our own pocketfold invites (as seen below) using cardstock I purchased at Kelly Paper Supply, a score board, bone folder, a martha stewart edge puncher, and a handy dandy paper cutter.

The hardest part of making the pocketfolds (in my opinion) were getting the measurements just right. So, I'm going to share with you, the basics, a template, if you will, of how to make the pocketfolds:


Step 1: cut the paper so that it's 10.75" x 6.75"
Step 2 and Step 3 are interchangeable - this was my preference
Step 2: Use the martha stewart edge puncher and punch the design on one side (here, the left0
Step 3: using your score board & bone folder, score the card stock at the appropriate measures (as identified in the picture)
Step 4: create the insert holder



Step 1: Cut the cardstock 2.75" x 4.75"
Step 2: using the same craft edge punch, punch the top of the insert holder to give it the texture you want.
Step 3: score the paper at 1/2" margins on the left and right side & bottom



Now that you've created the pocketfold AND the insert holder, it's time to attach the insert holder to the pocketfold. Place tape along the three margins, fold the margins inward, and attach to the pocketfold.

And that's it!
Fold it up and marvel at your glorious creation! :)
