Adhesive for Invites?

I remember seeing a posting on here about what kind of adhesvice to use for DIY pocketfolds but I can't find it. What did you use to put them together? 'm buying the pocketfolds from paperandmore but I just need to know what to use to adhere the invite to the pocketfold. Thanks!

I bought my pocketfolds from cardsandpockets.com They recommended I use their zip dry glue, which I did, and it worked amazing!
You just use a small amount (I did the border and a squiggle through the middle) then position it. You have about 10 seconds to move it into place before the glue holds. If you get any glue on places you dont want it (the nice side, hands, tables etc) just wait until it is dry and rub it with your finger. It will just roll off
I dont know where else you can order this glue from, but you can order it directly from cards and pockets

You are welcome! This made my invitation assembling soooo much easier. I hope it does for you too

I used a Xyron machine with Permanent Adhesive - Works great

On other invitation projects, I've used an ATG tape gun with double sided tape - Really great as well

I tried glue dots and found that they were very visible and created an unwanted rise on our invitations. Also, it is nearly impossible to reposition your piece once you have touched the glue dot to it. And when we put the invitation in the envelope the glue dots made noticable impressions in the paper.

double stick tape to attach the invite to the mat.  removeable glue dots to attach the mat to the pocketfold.  xyron to attach the top cardstock to the middle cardstock for the belly band.  double stick tape to attach the middle layer to the back (which traps the ribbon between layers 2 & 3).

The ATG tape gun is a lifesaver.  I got one for Christmas this year and it is freakin' AWESOME.  Way faster than double-sided tape!
