Papercraft Haven and More

When I start to pick out stamps to use - I don't just look at the set and decide if I like it - to buy it!!!  I look at the stamp or set I would be purchasing, and I think about how many different ways I can use it!!!  I also do this same thing when I purchase a die cut set as well!  It makes it so I can purchase different sets of things to go with other different sets of things...  AND - if I can use that set on more than one "thing" - it makes the purchase that much better!!!  Stampin' Up stamps make it easy to purchase one set - and then add it to another one, or another one!  They have an awesome tin of cards - (I will be doing a class with this tin) - not only will you make the cards within the tin - but I will also be showing you how to use those same stamps, and use them with other stamp sets to create your own stash of cards!  This class will help you get the cards done, AND be able to make more when you are don e using those ...

Stamping can truly save you a lot of money - not only on making your own cards, but also in making your own embellishments too!  Sometimes it is a lot more fun to take a stamp and create something one of a kind than it is to purchase a sticker lets say!  You can then add more things - such as buttons, brads, punches, and paper to create a ton of things!  A basic toolkit for stamping - to add to your scrapbook supplies: Stamp sets in various themes.  Don't go overboard in this area, simply get what you will use and stamps that might go with other stamps you have.   Ink pads - you can never have too many ink pads, as long as you take care of them and use them that is!  Store them upside down in order to keep the ink at the top and more moist!   Card packs with envelopes.  In order to make one of a kind, beautiful, fun cards - you need plenty of this supply!   Scraps of paper from other projects, or coordinated papers to create the car...
