I need scrapbook/card making help! (KU?)

I want to make the invites for M's birthday myself, because I need a project! LOL... What tools do I need?  Like how do I get a good fold in the card? And how do you make the edges look "rough" or brown?  Here is a link to what I would like it look like, or similar.

That is super cute!!!  I don't know about getting a 'good fold', I just measure and fold where it needs to be!  For the the brown edges, use a sponge and a brown ink pad.  Lightly rub the sponge on the edge of the paper.  HTH!

those are really cute!

Looks like it's red card stock to start. If you want to get perfect folds, I would buy the pre-made blank cards at Michaels. But I like the "barn" fold, so just measure where you want the fold and then lay a ruler down and fold over.

Like Sept said, I would buy a little sponge and a brown ink pad and lightly dot the edges of the cream colored paper.

Looks like they may have used a Cricut machine for the die cuts. You can probably find stickers.

The star you can find either stickers or a die cut punch

 Looks like a big project, let me know how it goes!

To get a good fold you need a bone folder. This:

You should be able to get it at a scrapbooking store, and I may have even gotten my from walmart in the scrapbooking section.

 Those are super cute!!! Can't wait to see your finished project!
