We scanned the design from the ribbon and created our own cards and invitations. We chose a local printer to do thermography on our cards. Hi Karen,

Where did you get the ribbon and the black and white scroll cards? Did you design it yourself or buy it preprinted? I really appreciate the information you have provided and we hope to make one similar! Your invitations are beautiful! Where did you get the ribbon and the black and white scroll cards?

If you look at the picture above, you can see that the middle and the right side sections are both 5X7 and then we just created a small triangle section for the right side. We are not sure of the exact size but I am guessing about 2 1/2-3 inches. Good luck! Hi Megan,

I am glad that you like our invitations. #1. Our actual invitation size was 5 X 7. #2. The reception and RSVP cards were the size of 4 bar envelopes (I don't know the exact dimensions off hand) #3. We bought the black cardstock at an Art Store in St. Louis and the green cardstock and envelopes at paper-source.com. #4. We didn't really measure the black trifold. We just decided how much border we wanted and created a prototype based off of that. #5. We cut the trifolds with a large paper cutter at my husband's office. We also scored each of the trifolds with a whale bone tool. #6 and 7. We wrapped the ribbon around the RSVP card and envelope and reception card. We taped the ribbon together at the back with a small piece of clear tape. Then, we ran a longer strip of double stick tape all the way down the back of the ribbon. Then we just stuck it to the black trifold. Hope that helps! Thanks Kate! I am glad that you like our invitations.
