There are 10 items I suggest that card makes have as they create cards.

  1. Adhesive. I think the Muti-purpose glue is great to start  with.
  2. Paper snips. The snips make fussy cutting easy.
  3. A pair of long blade scissors. I find that trimming Designer Series Paper or cardstock is easier with long blade scissors.
  4. Memento (Tuxcedo Black) ink- You need an ink that you can stamp both setiments and images.
  5. Color ink- Our ink spots are perfect for those just starting their card making journey. You can purchase 8 small ink cubes for an affordable ptice. Then as you can, purchase the regular size inks.
  6. Clear blocks that hold the stamps that you stamp images or sentiments. I suggest clear block size E and D.
  7. A stamp set that has both images and sentiments. If you can afford two stamp sets then get a stamp set that has general sentiments and a stamp set that has images you like.
  8. A nuetral color cardstock. I suggest Basic White. Or, you can get the Basic whire note cards ab]nd envelopes.
  9. Medium Envelopes.
  10. A shammy to clean you stamps after you tap them in ink.
  11. A paper trimmer. You will find that a paper trimmer will make card making so much easier.
  12. A Stampin Up Denonstrator can be there for you. If you don’t have a demonstrator I would love to be yours.
