Make Em' With Rubber Stamps

I LOVE using rubber stamps for so many crafty projects. But my most favorite is in making handmade invitations and cards. There is a myriad of great images out there to be used for making invitations, and a great deal of them happen to be mounted on little wooden blocks! :-)

In all seriousness, it is one of the greatest ways to come up with a great looking custom theme invitation. You can customize and decorate however you want. Add some decorative paper to jazz it up a bit, or go with a very simple and clean layout. Use colored stamping inks, embossing inks and powders, or even simply color in the images using some really good markers. I even go as far as using glitter and flocking with my stamped images! Whatever adult birthday invitations themes you can think up, there is some way to make a great diy invitation using rubber stamps!
