I love envelopments, and I’m actually about to apply to be a designer. For my wedding, I was definitely a DIY bride for all of my print materials. I’m a trained graphic designer, so I had a blast doing it. Since then, I decided to start my own graphic design company doing wedding invitations (which you can see on my blog). With my best friend’s and my sisters weddings coming up, plus all the bridal clients I already have lined up, having a tool like this could only make things easier for assembling. Thanks!
I would love to win the Jigster!! I already have my perfect wedding invitation in my mind. I was already dreading making sure it was layered perfectly!
Pick Me!!
Passing the 8 months away point today, the need to get started on my save the dates is ever-pressing! With the JIGster, I’ll create the Save-The-Dates, wish cards (instead of a guest book), tags for the favors and menus for our guests.
I would use this for ALL of my paper products for my wedding including the menu, programs, song list (for our 2-hour ultimate wedding dance party) and perhaps even the invitations. Thanks!
would LOVE to win one of these! my fiancee and i are making our own invites (both are graphic designers) and this would be such a time-saver.. and make sure they all come out perfectly!
would love to use this for our wedding invitations! i cant wait to print and get them out!
i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win one of these – it would go to use for invites, save the dates, table numbers, and probably even seating cards
Perfect! I’m DIY-ing all of my paper goods, and was just thinking about how I’ll get our Table Numbers/Themes perfectly framed on the nifty backing I got. Thanks!
I need this!! I’m DIY’ing my wedding invites, so this will be a huge help in keeping them looking nice and neat!
I am helping three different girls with their weddings right now . . . so this will help out with a bunch of wedding prep and invitations!!!
I’m getting married in October and I’m sending Save the Dates out next month. Both my fiance and I are artists, so it would be wrong of us not to do things for ourselves! This would save a ton of time.
ooohhh! i love this contest! i’m making all my own invites (amateur graphic designer on the side) and this would help out SOOOO much!
I would use the JIGster to make ceremony programs. It would definitely help out! Thanks
I’ve had my eye on this baby for awhile! I’d love a tool like this for my wedding invitation business. Not only would they be perfectly aligned, but it would make the process go faster, which could mean charging clients less money for assembly!
My invitations are layered, so this would help me stop stressing about lining it up.
I would LOVE a jigster! As a paper-loving graphic designer, I’ve been busy designing announcements, invites, save the dates, etc for all my friends getting married and having babies! This would be an amazing tool to have!
I will be making layered invitations for my wedding, so this tool would be great!
I’m a graphic designer and almost always working on wedding invites or announcements for family and friends. This would be amazing!
If I won the JIGster, I’d be able to easily make all of my millions of paper goodies, like menus, seating arrangements, candy buffet labels, etc., etc
I need need need this! I am making my own wedding invitations… designing, cutting & folding the pocket folders, cutting & layering & gluing the layers together…. I need help making sure everything lines up right
This would be perfect for any card occasion! Although I would love to use it for wedding invites when the time comes, too!
Wow, these are great. I’ve wanted one for a while, as I have a gocco and will be DIYing all of our paper products for the wedding (napkins, invites, programs, menus, etc), and I use it to make invites and stuff for my friends. That would certain my see a lot of use around my household!
This would be killer to have while DIYing our wedding invitations next month, the shower invitations and all else wedding related! Great contest!
Wow that nifty thing will be very helpful when putting together our save the dates and invitations. I didn’t know such a thing existed til now! Cool!
How have I not heard of this?!?! I am a graphic designer and I would LOVE to get my hands on one of these! I’m sure my best friend would also love me for winning one as we will be assembling all of her wedding stationery here soon and this would save us assembly time and leave us with more cocktail time!
I would love this! If I won, I could definitely use the JIGster for my programs and menu cards. Maybe invitations too…I haven’t decided on those yet!
I will use the jigster for my programs. I have such a hard time layering stuff.
I am planning for my wedding next year, and this would be quite the helper with my layered programs pickle! Not to mention, I am a paper junkie and would love to use this to make cards for the rest of my life. Go homemade!
I’m going to need to assemble all my wedding invitations in the next two months with paper backing, and they’ll probably all be crooked. This would be a lifesaver.
Getting married in October and making my own programs! Unsure how that one was decided, but I certainly could use the help! This would really be great. Thanks for the chance to win one!
I plan on making the seating chart in 40 fun projects for my September wedding. This would save a lot of time and effort!!
THANK YOU CARDS
Thanks so much for the chance!
My fiance and I are getting married in October. With my experience in graphics arts and publication design for work, we’re saving money by doing all of our save the dates, invitations, programs, and wedding favors ourselves. Our invitations, programs, and wedding favors all involve layers – vellum, cardstock, 60# paper. A Jigster would totally come in handy, especially with the wedding favors which are personalized layered cook booklets that match the look of our invitations.
I am a wedding and event planner and help my clients with DIY projects all the time. This tool will help me to help them have beautiful invitations, programs, escort cards, menu cards, the list is endless!
This poor bride is getting sticker shock from looking at the cost of stationery. I’d use the JIGster to DIY my invitation.
I would love the JIGster! There are so many shower invites, party invitations, etc this would help me make!
I am making everything for our wedding and would love to have this great tool to help with invitations and many other paper items in the wedding. It would take away a lot of the stress that putting together hundreds of invitations causes.
OMG… I LOVE LOVE the JIGster. I’ve been dying to get one. I have been working on a friends invitations and my wedding is right around the corner.
There is an endless list of paper crafting projects that require the JIGster!
for all my crafts!
I’m getting married this July and I’m tackling as many projects on my own as physically possible. This month’s project is creating my 125 invitations. I just bought my paper. I’m so excited that this tool exists. I didn’t know how I was going to get my layers to fit perfectly. This tool would help so much with my construction. I’m looking for a high class product on a shoe string budget.
I would LOVE, love, LOVE to have one of these for my baby announcement and wedding invitation crafty pursuits!!
What a special giveaway! As an event designer I assist my clients with their DIY projects. The JIGster would give them a new tool to create their own invites, and it would add to the number of services we offer, too!
I would definitely use them for invitations since I can barely draw a straight line with a ruler!
I make handmade cards. This would be perfect to use for that!
I’m getting married in August and plan on creating my own invitations, for both the wedding and rehearsal dinner. This tool will also come in handy in assembling some other signage elements of our decor, as well as in creating invitations for an upcoming baby shower I’m helping to plan.
OHmigoodness!
I LOVE the JIGster! I’ve been wanting one soooo badly!
My friends and I love DIY projects and I plan to be putting together my own wedding invititations. This is the perfect little tool for OCD brides!
Matt and I are having a 4 day wedding weekend so there are lots of parts to our invitations – we plan on using the JIGster to get all of the invitations looking topnotch so our guests can find the information they need quickly!
I’ve been in the process of trying new creations with cards and stationary. I would love to use this on my sister-in-law’s upcoming baby shower and my sister’s wedding shower invites and thank you cards for both events. There’s so much you can do with it!
I am an event producer and an all around crafty chick. I would love one of the JIGster’s!
We’re using a lot of layered paper elements to incorporate all of our wedding colors in the invites, programs, and other paper pieces!! This would be such a huge help
Oh my gosh I would LOVE a JIGster! I am paper crafting all the time, and can never seem to get things lined up correctly. I’d use it for invitations, thank yous, menus, all of which I plan to craft myself, and then would continue to use it in the cardmaking and scrapbooking I do all the time. Thanks!
I would have the best time making invitations with the Jigster! I wouldn’t have to wonder if I have a crooked eye with this!!!
I looooove making stationary, but I’ve never bothered making layered cards since it’s such a pain to do it freehand. I would love to win a Jigster; it would really help me put on the finishing touches to my cards!
not sure HOW i’ll use it, exactly… but… love it!
I would love one of these to make our invitations and other wedding stationary!
Oooh, that would definitely help my invitation assembly line.
Oh My Gosh! This would make my life so much easier. I am DIYing my save the dates, invites, programs and love to do other paper crafting projects that are not wedding related. I looove layering paper, but lining it up right drives me crazy. This would be so useful! Pick me please!
Pick Me! Pick Me! What wouldn’t i just the JIGster on? Not only would i use them on my wedding invitations and save the dates and menus, but i would also use it on all my post wedding scrap booking. =)
I’m having an artist friend letterpress my invites and reply cards, and then I’m going to put them in envelopments envelopes and seal them with home made stickers or stamps.
So exciting! This would be great for making invitations and other stationary items, as well as scrapbooking and all kinds of other crafts!
I am trying to cut down on costs and putting together our own invitations is definitely at the top of the list. This would be extremely helpful!
Ooh, I’ve been wanting one of these since I first saw them. I’m double layering my invites, so this would be a great help.
After exploring some of my invitation options, I was shocked at the price I’d have to pay to have someone else do my invitations. I was also unhappy to find that I wasn’t super excited about anything I’ve seen so far. I’d love to be able to create my own suite of invitations with the JIGster. Plus, I see even more fun in my future with this machine: birthdays, christmas and thinking-of-you cards? Yes please!
I could really use this for my wedding invites! I’m hand stamping and embossing my invites and want them mounted on another paper for a boarder…yay for un-crooked invites!
The Jigster tool is a very useful in achieving a layering when using evelopments product. Its the tool that gurantees you a finished look that says, “wow!… thats professional”
This would be SOOOO helpful when doing our escort cards and dessert labels!
I would use this WONDERFUL tool for my programs, escort cards, and table numbers!!!
Probably my thank you cards too. I would have used them on my invitations but I’ve already spent COUNTLESS hours stacking cardstock without this tool, so I know how painful it is!!!
I would LOVE one of these. I didn’t realize that something like this existed. This would make my DIY wedding and scrapping projects SO much prettier!
Wow, I haven’t seen this one before, but this would really help with our DIY invitations! I had been wondering how we’d align them perfectly without going crazy.
I’ll be a bridesmaid and helping my friend on her DIY wedding stationery and bridal shower details, this will be perfect for our paper projects.
I am doing a lot of DIY projects (programs, escort cards, menu cards, invites, save the date) with layering and this would be ideal and a great time saver.
I would love to use this for my wedding. It would be perfect for my invitations, menus, and all other paper diys that I have planned. I am also an avid scrapbooker, so this would have continued use!
Awesome give away! I’m planning on making my own invitations using a photo that I took of cherry blossoms in Japan.
Thanks!
Terry
What a fantastic giveaway! I would definitely use the Jigster to make programs as I want to incorporate all our wedding colors in them. Thanks!
I am excited to win.
Pick me! Pick me! I’d use it for everything! Invites, STD’s…you name it!
Wow, this looks fantastic! I’m planning to DIY invitations and programs for my upcoming wedding, and I’m sure this would be a huge timesaver. And since I’m a scrapbooker too, I’m sure I would get tons of use out of this even after the wedding.
ohmygosh! I would love to have this for many different reasons! The big one is for my wedding invites, which arrive on March 3rd! I can’t wait to put them together. Secondly, I run my own business and I love to give my clients fun thank yous and cards and with this tool the possibilities are awesome! I stink at laying anything straight so this is perfect!
Oh my, oh my! I would love one of these! Ever since you first reviewed these I thought to myself that this would be a logical purchase as I’ve got many stationery projects on the to-do list. I just haven’t been able to justify any more crafting purchases this year with the wedding coming up soon…This would make life so much easier!
Big DIY girl here….just finished my “Will You Be My Bridesmaid” cards with 3 layered cardstocks…this would have been a godsend to keep straight in no time! I plan to DIY all paper for our wedding, so this would be in good use!
Pick me! Pick me! I’m planning my wedding and creating all my own printables. I’m also in the process of getting my business license to start a stationary design business. This could come in major handy!
Even if I don’t win, thanks for posting this. I’ve been looking for a company like this to partner with!
How bad I want one of these, I cannot even say! This would be so much help in all my wedding DIY projects!
Ooh! This is an amazing little thing! I am doing DIY Invites and this sure would be a handy tool to make them perfect!!!
OH!!! I would definitely use this for my wedding programs and escort cards. This is such a great giveaway! =)
oooh! I’m sure I’ll be able to find a use for this with out wedding coming up in 8 (almost 7, now) months. Eeep, that’s not so far away anymore!
I love the Jigster! I would use it as it is meant to be used! LOL. Make everything nice and even!
I love making envelopes! I will be helping three brides with their stationary soon and would use it to make my every day correspondence lovely as well!
I plan on DIY invites, save the dates, menus and escort cards. This would save me so much stress.
I’m designing a friend’s wedding invitations and these would cut my labor time significantly!
I’m in the middle of creating lots of DIY projects (invitations, favors, escort display charts, etc) for my friend’s wedding on 4/30/10 and this would be such a GREAT tool. It allows layering w/ many different designs which is very important especially if you have plans to laminate projects.
I love creating my own invitations for parties and showers and this would be oh-so-helpful in assembling layered invites!! I usually just eyeball it but they don’t come out the greatest… This would be awesome to use!
I would LOVE to have this as I am both DIY-ing my own wedding this year! I am also a bridesmaid in one of my friends wedding, and she has asked me to make her invites (because she knows I love paper crafts
!)
This is the perfect tool for me to get it all done!!!
I would love this! We are using a lot of pictures in our decor- hanging from the centerpieces, as escort cards etc.- and this would make life so much easier. Both my fiance and I are perfectionists and neither of us were really looking forward to the long hours of cutting, measuring, and aligning for these pics. Awesome giveaway!
I’ve wanted one of these for months! Such a fantastic product! I’d use them for my wedding invites and programs. I have such a terrible eye for straightness!
I’d use it to assemble stationery for my new wedding invitation business.
this tool is awesome! my invites will have 3 layers so this would be perfect!!
I could use one of these to assemble our programs! I am so anal, maybe I’d be able to let someone help me if they used this handy device
I can’t believe they came out with this tool. Such a great idea and will make all my project in a breeze. I would use it for all my wedding stationery, favor tags, making my card and matting photos.
Hi, I could use these to help when I am making homemade invitations for friends and family. It would definitely make them look more professional- the printing is easy, the design is a breeze- the alignment is sometimes an ugly mess!! This is an awesome tool! Thanks.
We’ll use this for our STD and invites. With this I bet I’ll be able trust someone else to more than stuffing envelopes and putting stamps on.
The invitations will be layered with two different pieces of colored paper . I can’t assemble things straight for the life of me so this would be a great help!
I would LOVE to win this! I will be DIYing my complete stationary set and this would help me out so much!
Ill use the jigster for my wedding invitation/table cards/ALL EVERYTHING!
handmade rules! this would help out so much.
Wow, I love this!! I’m a graphic designer and I do a lot of freelance work for invitations, announcements, business collateral, personal stationery, etc on the side. This would be SO helpful as both a time AND money saver – no more mess-ups in the trash can!! What a great giveaway!
I NEED JIGster so badly! Would have drastically cut down on the time I spent last night assembling layered baby shower invitations…can’t wait to use it for my next project!!
I would use it for handmade journals and invitations!!
i’d love to add it to my assembly line of worker bees.
First off, HOLY CRAP. I wish I would have known this thing existed earlier!
My table numbers, programs and seating cards are done, but oh how awesome it would be to use this thing on my invitations and menus! The invitations are my most complex items that I am DIY-ing for the wedding, so it would just freaking rule to have the JIGster!
There are so many things I would use this for including our wedding stationary, favor hang tags, and OOT bag hang tags. So cool!
This will be perfect for my life! Huge DIYer and this will get its “money’s worth” with invites, STDs, seat placements, cards, etc…
We will be doing all the invites and other paper products ourselves. This will help me keep from pulling my hair out by trying to keep everything straight!
This would help me soooooo much.
I’ve been engaged for over a year now and would have LOVED to start getting things done for my wedding starting the day after.. but our budget is pretty small, and we’ve been seriously struggling with trying to find a place to get married.
We finally found a place last week.. (a new friend offered her families barn and land!) and I’m frantically trying to get things done before our wedding date; Sept. 25!
All of my bridesmaids and family live at least a state away and I currently don’t know ANYONE in the new city me and my fiance’ just moved to… so this would be a GREAT help to me and my crazy DIY wedding invitation endeavors!!
I would use it for invitations for my upcoming housewarming party and also to help out my many friends who are getting married!
I’d use it to make invites, menus, and cards!
Now that I’ve seen the demo video, I am totally picking up what you are putting down!! This tool is a MUST-HAVE…and I MUST HAVE ONE!!!
The jigster has definitely been on my wish list! I’ll use it for all things wedding and whatever other projects pop up.
This would be just lovely for the invites… I could definetly use a little help.. I’d even do a little “Jig” if i won
Hey! my fiance & i are getting married on MAY DAY 2010! since he just enlisted in the navy, im trying to slip in subtle Navy details throughout the wedding, but im finding it very hard to find Navy details that arent cheesey, pirate related or beach related. This forces me to make alot of the details myself, such as programs, seating charts, seating cards, table numbers, etc.
anyways! thanks for this giveaway!
mego!
This tool looks amazing!! I am currently tackling my first DIY projects–Save the Dates (from the first DIY book, the one with the wheel!!) and Wedding invitations and I am sure to use this tool. It’s already been great fun, and I hope to create many more DIY projects
Wedding invitations… then whatever fun projects I can get my hands on after!
Ooo this would be perfect for the invites! One less thing for me to stress over!
I have never seen this before, but I definitly need one.
I’m planning my wedding long distance and will be without the fiance for 2 whole months – lots of time for DIYing! STD, invites, placecards, menus, programs… homemade greeting cards, christmas gifts, at-home photo framing… anytime I get my hands on a great piece of paper!
If we had a JIGster, we’d use it for EVERYTHING. I’m talking invites, programs, thank-yous… you name it. Heck, I’d use it on our cake if I could figure out how. I hope we win it, so we can have the world’s more JIGstered wedding!
These will definitely be put to good use for our very complicated, multi-layered invitations. I need this!!
DIY is the theme of my wedding so needless to say, I will be doing all the invitations myself as well. I have a multi-layered invite set. The JIGster will be so useful..and my bridesmaids will thank you.
OMG! I think (no, I know) that the Jigster will help eleviate the sweaty palms and crossed eyes that I get EVERY time I work on a layered project. I work on quite a few layered panel cards for weddings and other events. When it’s time to assemble, I get so nervous because I notice the slightest imperfection and lining up each card can be…well, eye crossing!
I’m constantly coming up with WAY more complicated ideas than I could ever *easily, efficiently* execute. This will SO help with the wedding invites, but will also contribute to my general card-making addiction! (Don’t feel guilty, though. I can totally control it… at times.)
Whoo HOO! Am wedding invitation designer – how much time have I wasted with eyes crossed, fingers gummy, and a HUGE pile of rejects, trying to get card stock lined up perfectly! Keeping fingers crossed I win ; )
Jennifer
THIS IS A MUST HAVE!! It looks unbelievably easy from the video. If I win this, I will be able to DIY with confidence on all my paper items!
*fingers crossed*
oooh, this would be so helpful! i’d use it for my girlfriends’ weddings, for my kids’ and friends’ birthdays, for dessert table decor… for everything!!
i’d use it for making invitations and thank you cards… not very original, but i’m sure more ideas would come to mind!
We’ll use this to make quick work of our save the dates and programs, and whatever other paper projects pop up!
OH MY GOSH!!! I never even knew this kind of tool existed!!! I am making ALL paper items for my wedding… invitations, maps, RSVP cards, Menu’s, table seating… even some ‘translation cards’ for my non-spanish speaking friends…. all with different layers of paper… this would save me tons of time…. WOO!
What a cool tool. Can’t wait to try it out. Seems like a must have for DIY invites
I make custom invitations for all of my friends an family for all of their events. I will never have to “eyeball it” again.
