Inky and Scrappy: Inky and Scrappy's Let's Start Stamping Card Sketches and Basic Supply List

Here are some of the basics for starting...(I'll include links (affiliate when I can- it's at no cost to you and helps me to bring you free content.))

Stamps (well obviously)- start with some basic sentiment stamps if you don't love your handwriting and look for images that you love. I try to stick with brands that play well together over their stamp sets...i.e. Lawn Fawn, MFT (per individual designer ), the list is endless-but those are my faves or multipurpose mixed media sets. Stamp Platform- StampingPro Paper Cutter/scorer- Amazon Link to Tim Holtz 12" Slide style cutter Inks for actual stamping- Alcohol and Watercolor Friendly like Hero Arts Intense Black Ink or Lawn Fawn's Jet Black Ink Inks for techniques- Distress Inks look for kits or 4 packs in Rainbow colors. ( The kit I was talking about-- Distress Starter Kit ) Coloring Medium- Colored Pencils, watercolor, alcohol markers I love my Ohuhus Paper- Bristol Smooth- Accent Opaque for card bases- Color Cardstock- Get a rainbow stack to start and go from there...Here's a good one. Pattern paper- Look for colors and patterns you like and that will work with the stamps you have/want. Glue- Glitter Art Glue Double sided tape (it's a nice have, but not a must)- Try this one! Stencil Masks- The $3 set from Michael's is a great starter. Extra Sparkly things- Glitter Glue and Windsor & Newton Iridescent Medium Not needed, but definitely great tools to think about- Die-Cut Machine this one comes with an assortment of basic nesting die shapes! Die-Cut basic shapes- Brother Scan N Cut Reverse Tweezers Jewel Picker Foam Adhesive

Feel free to change sizes to fit your image. Just make sure to keep your image as the focal point on the top or to the side. This works great with a circle shape as well.
