    I saw a reference to cardsandpockets.com on that fantastic font thread. After checking out their website, they seem really great and affordable. There are lots of colors and options. Is it too good to be true?

    Have you used them? If so, what products did you order and how easy were they to DIY? How was your experience with the company overall?

    And of course post pictures if you have them! :)

    Hi! I used Cards and Pockets to buy envelopes for 5 x 7" invitations, 4-bar response card envelopes, and brown card stock. I'm actually having the invitations printed at a printing place, but it's been easy to work with the card stock and envelopes. The paper quality is good. I'd recommend ording some samples before ordering everything. The price is really good.

    I am planning to order their DIY pocketfold kits to do my invites! Obviously, I do not have a review yet but here are some that i've found.

    I ordered stuff for my invites from cardsandpockets. There's some pictures in this thread if you want to see. I got pocketfolds, invitation mats, envelopes and belly bands from them, and had the actual invites printed at Kinkos.

    The quality of the pocketfolds, envelopes, etc, was very good. Make sure to order some samples first to make sure you get the right colors, because the colors look slightly different on the computer screen than in real life. The best thing about them though was the customer service. I had an issue with my order (they didn't have enough of one of the items I ordered but I needed them rushed), and they actually called me up and ran through the various options and managed to find the best solution, and I got my invite materials on time and exactly how I wanted them. So yeah, they're good =)

    I ordered all my paper products from them and they were great.  They shipped fast and the quality was very good.  I gocco'd my invites which were pocketfolds with 4 inserts and they turned out great.

    I JUST placed my envelope order yesterday! I ordered a sample first to make sure, and they were SO nice! The colors are beautiful...

    I ordered all of my supplies from there to make my own invitations and am really happy with the quality of everything (pocketfolds, cardstock, invitation mats, envelopes, the works!).  Also, their customer service has been outstanding, I've had some questions about printing and how much cardstock I need and they have been beyond helpful and supportive!
