Making 50th birthday invitations. Am looking for "50s" something like these but don't like some of the colours of these. Don't have to be sparkly. Happy to consider anything really as still working out design, but need to make c. 100 so would like to keep cost down to as little as possible!

I could also use stickers a bit like these, but would never use the rest of the numbers plus it's a lot more work to line up a 5 and a 0 rather than have 50s, maybe die-cut.

Enjoy making cards but am a novice so don't really know where best to look for this stuff so am hoping one of you will know exactly what I mean and exactly where I should look! Thanks.

eBay!

You can get ones that are die cut from card. Have a look. If you find a seller with the shape you like ask them if they could do them in another colour and for a bulk price.

I've done that before a couple of times. I've also sent the card I needed cut as I wanted a perfect match for one set if invites.

Or, print them off on nice card. I often do this, and matt and layer it?

wow, so many responses already!! Ideally I'd like those that are already "50s", like in my first link. Charlie -I had a good look on ebay and they were the only ones I could find, will have another look.

I was thinking I might print out oneofmyturns, and might still do that, but do like the 50s in my first link, apart from a couple of the colours.

"thank you all" I should have said - sorry!

It would be best on a die cutting machine then. I don't know if I have any. My stash hasn't been used for ages.

How about sending that ebayer in your link a message asking for specific colours?

ha, I need to learn to read full ebay postings, apparently you get 10 of same colour, not mixed (looking while half asleep and catching up on TV!) But will contact them anyway to see if they can do me a deal on quantity.

But if anyone else has any other ideas, also happy to hear them.

Thanks again all
