The following are tons of pictures of various knottie's pocketfolds to give you ideas. Each of the bios are linked - check it out for more pics, or any other information they have about what they've made

This is from johnbandliz

on this design, one end of the ribbon stops under the seal, and the other end stops insdie the pocket - so it stays on the invite after it's opened (it's not a belly band that slips off). The ribbon decorates rather than holding the invite shut. The seal holds the invite shut.

From princess1473

This design has one layer of text, and 2 backing layers. The black bottom layer is cut about 1/16 inch smaller than that section of the pocket, so enough blue shows to almost make a 4th layer. That's a great way to add another dimension, without adding the cost or weight of another sheet of paper

This is from sneezyone

This design only uses one panel and the pocket, giving it a very clean look when it's opened. This also cuts down on the original size of the paper and on the amount of scoring/folding required.

A vertical ribbon belly band with a tag for the guests names holds it shut

Some things to look for when designing your own:

how they're held shut

the orientation (inserts beside or below the text

the layers/colors of backing behind the text

how the flap and pocket are trimmed........

These are from TrendyBride

On this design, the edge of the front flap and the pocket are both cut straight. The clean, straight lines really complement the design of the invite itself and the inserts.

This one has a seal to hold it shut, rather than a ribbon.

This is from Silvahalo

This is another design that only uses one panel and one pocket. On these, the pocket is to the left of the text, which gives it a different look.

These are from Meljas05

This design uses a unique trim on both the pocket and the front flap - it gives some symmetry to the invite and a fun, whimsical flair

These pictures are from QueenBrianne

This design only uses the one layer of text - there are no backing layers. The decorative cut on each corner gives a formal look, and doesn't need the extra layers. It also allows the design to keep the stunning simplicity of the black and white color scheme.

These are from mauitiare

This design adds the couple's picture under a the text (printed on vellum) - a great way to add a unique flavor!!!

These are from cesc12498

This design has a horizontal orientation. Placing the inserts vertically, however, allows you to see the entire titles.

This are from Reaugh*

In this design, the ribbon ties in a bow in the front to hold the invite shut. There are small slits cut in both folds (above and below the text) where the ribbon is fed through.

This allows the ribbon to be firmly secured to the invite (instead of a belly band that slips off), and still allows for a bow in the front to tie a tag to.

These, from sumthingblue are petal enclosures rather than pocketfolds, but are made similarly, and have similar designs. Here, she uses a vellum strip through the center to add detial.
