Get Creative With Cardstock Pretty much any and all invitations are made from some sort of cardstock paper. But with the explosion of paper crafts hobbyist and scrapbookers there are so many more options for choosing a cardstock to make birthday invitations with. Peruse the paper aisle of any arts and crafts store, or even stationery stores and your will find an array of cardstock papers in different colors, textures, and weights (thickness). Choose from pretty much every color under the sun, embossed papers, glitter papers, metallic and pearlescent. You name it!

These are a really cool and unique cardstock base in which folds into itself to become both the invitation base and envelope. A pocketfold can lend style to even the most dreary of invitations.

Using rubber stamps is got to be rigt at the top of my list when it comes to making cards and invitations. There are so many fun patterns and images available in so many different types of stamps and rubber stamping products. These day the traditional wooden mounted stamp is still alive and kicking, but there are also the newer clear and cling mount stamps. These stamps are made from a completely clear rubber material in which you mount yourself to a clear acrylic block. The rubber can easily be mounted and removed over and over again so that you are able to arange different images and even fonts however you want to. It's so muchmore versatile and easy to use as well. Because the stamps are clear you are able to see exactly where you will stamp on the paper, and even make sure you have distributed the ink evenly. I am still a big fan of wood mounted stamps but clear stamps are my personal fave right now.
