Many people often wonder what supplies they need to get started with paper crafting. I’ve racked my brain to remember where I started and things I can't live without! Here's a list of what I think some of the basics are. You can use it for some ideas of what to buy to start off. :)
Paper Cutter (pg 189) - Portable & lightweight, cuts paper up to 12”, features easy-to-read grid lines, measures up to 15-1/2”, & comes with 2 cutting blades. I use my scoring blade as much as my cutting.
Snail Adhesive (pg 191) – Double sided, permanent adhesive dispensed continuously. Easy to refill too!
Whisper White Card Stock (pg 153) – 40 sheets, 8-1/2” x 11” size, acid free. The best white cardstock ever!
Assorted Card Stock (pg 154-155) – 36 sheets, 8-1/2” x 11” size, 3 each of 12 colors, your choice of color family: Bold Brights, Earth Elements, Rich Regals, or Soft Subtles.
Basic Black Classic Stampin’ Pad (pg 153) – Full-size ink pad, also waterproof.
Choc. Chip Stampin’ Pad (pg 154 ) – The best brown! A staple in my stamping.
Assorted Colors that I use most (pg 154-155) – Choc. Chip, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, and Bashful Blue. Oh and any ‘in colors’ are great!
Stampin’ Scrub (pg 189)– Has two scrubbing pads-one side you spray with Stampin’ Mist cleaner & rub the stamp on to clean & the other side you rub the stamp on to dry it.
Stampin’ Mist (pg 189) – Cleans & conditions rubber stamps, preserves the life of the rubber, comes in a convenient spray bottle.
VersaMark Pad (pg 190) – Creates a tone-on-tone or watermark effect, also used for applying embossing powder.
Paper Snips (pg 189)– These are small and thin-bladed. Great for cutting in the tiniest of areas! (you can find at Target or Walmart for a few dollars less)
Stampin’ Dimensionals (pg 191) – 300 in the package, these are thick double-sided, adhesive foam dots, perfect for adding a 3-D effect.
Crop-A-Dile (pg 189) – This is an amazing tool! It punches through chipboard, tin & multiple layers of paper so easily! It also sets eyelets silently & easily in 2 sizes. (if you shop at Michaels or Roberts you can use a 40% off weekly coupon on this and get a good deal!)
Mat Pack (pg 188) – Includes the paper-piercing pad, paper-piercing template, & setting mat, each 4” x 4”. It’s how I get those perfectly spaced pierced holes & helps to evenly space brads.
