Hi Ladies! 

I am making my own invites and all but can't find the cardstock I am picturing. I want a white cardstock that has a litttttle bit of a shimmer to it. Any thoughts or ideas on where to get cardstock?

    check paper-source. They have some neat shimmery paper. Just remember you have to use a laser printer to print on that type of paper (which I didn't know when I started on my invitations). Because the of the shimmer on the paper, the ink (like from an inkjet printer) won't sink into the paper. Good luck on your invitations!

    I used metallic paper from there when making my cousins invites a couple years ago.  They sell it in packs of 10 I beleive.  I took the invites to FedExKinkos to be printed.

    There's also an Archiver's off of Barry Road and Ambassador Drive in Kansas City, if that's any closer for you.

    I am going the Kinkos route and having them print what I created..(my printer is archaic!)
