Top 10 Products for Beginner Stampers

Hey everyone,

I had a request from someone wondering what would be my top products for beginner stampers/crafters to purchase to get started in their journey.

Well here is my list! There are pictures, pricing and links to order, for all of the products.

1. Ink

The best bang for your buck is to purchase a bundle of inks but if you do not want to purchase that many for your first order, the best bet is to just purchase black.

2017-2019 In Colour Inks Item #144081 $36 for all 5 inks

2. Stamp Cleaner

You definitely need the scrub and the cleaner to clean your stamps after every use! I highly recommend these two products.

Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner Item #102394 $6.00

Stampin' Scrub Item #126200 $22.50

3. Tools

These two tools are pretty vital to making any cards or craft in general.

Scissors Item #103579 $13.50

Stampin' Trimmer Item #126889 $40.00

 4. Adhesive

Very important products to add elements to your cards. There are different types of adhesives to use depending on the project you are working on.

Fine Tip Glue Pen Item #138309 $9

Multipurse Liquid Glue Item #110755 $5.25

Mini Glue Dots Item #103683 $7

Dimensional Item #104430 $5.25

Fuse Fast Adhesive Item #129026 $13.50

5. Cardstock

I would start with Whisper White card stock and then when you are more comfortable buy other colours of cardstock. 

Whisper White 8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock Item #100730 $11.25

If you do want other colours, a good option to get is the bundles of different colours.

2016-2018 In Colour 8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock Item #141413 $10

 There are different cardstock colour bundles besides the In Colours - Brights, Regals, Subtles, Neutrals.

 6. Designer Series Paper

This paper is good for adding a little punch to a card you are making. 

 7. Note Cards & Envelopes

This is a good option if you do not want to take the time to measure out card bases. 

Whisper White Item #131527 $8

8. Embellishments

There are many different embellishments you can add to your cards. The ones I like the most are Rhinestones, Enamel shapes and Baker's Twine.

Enamel Shapes Item #141680 $12

Whisper White Baker's Twine Item #124262 $4

9. Clear Blocks

Some stamps that you will purchase will require clear blocks in order to use them. I recommend getting a large, medium and small size blocks. That way depending on the stamp sets you have, you will have the correct blocks to use the stamps.

Clear Block C Item #118486 $9

Clear Block E Item #118484 $16

Clear Block F Item #118483 $22.50

These are just some suggestions - there are so many different sizes you can choose from! If you cannot decide on the size to get, you can always purchase the bundle of all of them.

All of the Clear Blocks Item #118491 $94.50

10. Stamps

Well now that you have all of the tools, you need to pick out a stamp set and start to get creating!

Big on Birthdays Item #142877 $33

I recently just got this stamp set and have not made anything with it. That just may be my next project :)

There is another option if you are not ready yet to take the plunge and buy all of the supplies you will need. There are card kits that come with everything you will need (except adhesive). 

Oh Happy Day Card Kit Item #142725 $46

This kit comes with everything! It comes with all of the card bases, all the embellishments, a small ink pad, stamp set, clear block, and dimensionals. All you would need is liquid glue or a glue stick. The kit also comes with instructions on how to create all 20 of the cards. I absolutely love this card kit!

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to leave a comment, email me, or message me through Facebook. 

I  hope this post helps all the new comer stampers!
