MMM - Could you tell me how you set up the print for your DIY invites?

MMM - I LOVE your DIY invites!!!

They look like nothing I''ve seen in the stores, and I knew from day 1 that I wanted to make my own. These save so much paper and unnecessary inserts (my fiance and I strive to be somewhat green).

So - my question(s) for you are:
-How did you set up the print on your computer? Mac or PC?
-What were the measurements on your paper (3 different sizes)?
-Did you print the text before cutting the paper or after?

I am pretty crafty and computer savvy, but I just couldn''t figure out how you did it, and thought I should just come to you! Thanks so much!

I am not MMM, but if I remember she used a Gocco to do the printing. Not sure about the font and formatting, though. Hopefully she will see this and tell you better.

Thanks, katamari!

thank you so much for the nice compliments! and yes, katamari is correct, i did use my gocco, but only for the gold metallic ink. all of the rest of the cards, everything in black, was printed on my little laser printer. i set up the cards using a mixture of microsoft word and photoshop and i bought all the same size cards, but then cut them so that each was a little shorter than then one after. i bought all of the paper at paper source.

oh, and i actually cannot remember if i cut the paper before or after... i want to say after, but really cant remember.

hope that helped. and sorry if this is way too late to be useful! oops. i need to come around more!
