Happy Friday Eve! Today, I have a fun Halloween invitation to share with you. I received lots of cardstock and other goodies to try out from Cut Cardstock.com. So, you can say this is a personal review (over the next week). You have to check them out. They have a very large selection of all types of cardstocks, pre-scored invitations, place cards, envelopes, and other fun, hot items. I was surprised by all of the options available for paper here, so go...take a look!

I decided to try out this Pocket Fold Invitation. I've always wanted to make these, but it is super difficult because cardstock just is not large enough. Then you have to deal with the pocket and everything, which means you might as well buy one, right?! This was super easy to design because the template was already there! I trimmed down the top part a bit to show off the label a little better, but everything else remained the same. I even ran the top portion through my Cuttlebug (twice) to get the polka dot embossed image! On the inside, I used some of their shimmer cardstock. It prints extremely well. I adhered a matching label, with an attendees name to a place card.

The label was stamped using Waltzingmouse Very Vintage Labels No. 4. The "antique key" is a rubber stamp by Rubber Stampede (picked up from Michaels or A.C. Moore). The decorative trim is a punch by EK Success (picked up from Michaels). The name on the place card was stamped using Papertrey Ink's fresh alphabet. The invite was created in Photoshop CS4.

More pictures are available on my Flickr page!

I also did another card for an Embellish challenge. Please go check it out here. Go make a card today too because the challenge does not end until late tonight!!

Thanks for visiting and enjoy your Thursday!

I hope this gets you feeling the need for some candy! Hurry up and go pick some up, it's already starting to go on sale (trick or treater or not)!
