I didn’t know whether to put this in DIY or here, hope this is ok.
I went into a couple paper stores last weekend and came out feeling like I knew less than when I walked in.
We want to DIY pocketfolds, and we chose our colors through envelopments. We’re going with Rogue and Buttercream. Now I’d like to buy “parent sheets” and have them cut down to the right size, do you know of anywhere that sells envelopments parent sheets or non-cut sheets? I can’t seem to find our colors in the right weight. I really don’t want to spend $2 a pocketfold then buy the inserts.
Any help would be great!

@StbHisMrs:
Or know of any paper that is similar to the colors of envelopments? Or just plain what should I do?

I was very picky on the color that I wanted for my DIY pockefolds.
So, what I woudl suggest is to try different places online and ask them to send you a sample, so you can determine if the color is the same. I think this will be your best bet b/c the stores online will give you a much broader selection then most stores.

I also just got a ton of samples from hobby lobby, paper and more, and cards and pockets. I ended up buying pocketfolds from paper and more, paper (cut to size to layer) from cards and pockets, and the invites themselves from wedding paper divas. It was complicated, but I endeup with with exactly what I want.

Paper Source has a great variety of colors of paper and cards. There’s this place in Seattle called the Paper Zone (use to be a Memories) and it had a large variety different colors, weights and sizes. You should use yelp in Portland to see if there is something there similar to that. Good luck!
