    ...but I've hit a stumbling block already, I know exactly what I want, how to go about creating them, yet for some reason I can't seem to find any blue card, that's only blue one side. Closest I've found is pre folded cards on ebay that are A6, I just need some A4 thats white on one side and blue the other. WHY CAN'T I FIND ANY!? Surely it exists?

    Im not sure how I could make the blue work otherwise, as its the darker blue I need (I can't compromise on the shade, as it's TARDIS blue I need)

    If anyone could help steer me in the right direction that would be grand, if not I guess I'll have to suck it up and try to make it work somehow.... :|

    Have you tried the express website of the man who has 50 thieves? If you don't know what I'm on about then I can post a link. Sometimes the min. order is fairly high but theres a chance. x

    I have seen some shiny card on the bay, A4.
    I'm intrigued by the man of 50 thieves though, he sounds interesting lol!!

    I'll try the shiny card too, I didn't think of that, I'd prefer the matt finish but thats definately an option!

    Also, I'm intrigued by the man who has 5o thieves too haha! A link would be grand as I haven't the faintest idea who/what that is!

    Cheers ladies :)

    You have plenty of time to find something though, so no need to panic just yet!! xxx

    Have you thought about using blue card and printing all your details on a white/cream paper insert? Could be cheaper than sourcing hard to find card!

    Oh an insert would work! I was thinking I might have to stick the white paper on the inside, but i thought that might look untidy... that's a much better idea!

    Yes - and if you want to stick, I've heard glue dots work wonders and limit the mess - or if you have the time, I'd buy some ribbon in say blue or silver and tie it down the folded spine to keep your paper insert in the card :-)

    I'll be needing ribbon as the way I'm folding them they will just spring open unless I tie them down, I'll be reinstalling photoshop later as well, so I'll hopefully be able to print off and create a few other bits and bobs as well as the invites :)

    I make cards and can give you many tips. Inserts are best. I make my own inserts and stick them in myself too. It is easier than you think. I have made all my own invites, save the date, and table place cards, pics are in my album.
