Each week for the next 4 weeks, I am going to bring you MY personal must have's to paper craft with! Every paper crafter will be different - just because of their budget, and what they have learned on! However, that said, don't be afraid to learn something new and use different supplies, in order to step out of your comfort zone and create other style of things as well!
My absolutely TOP PICK for creating right now is my Cricut machine! This one is the smaller version that cuts 6 x 12 sheets of paper, and for me...used mostly for the alphabet letters for my titles and projects! I started out 4 cartridges, and my list has grown to 10 just the past few months!
In order to keep your costs down:
- Look at Ebay for cartridges! You might not win each and every one of them you bid on, but I have YET to spend full retail price on any of the cartridges I have right now!
- Check on Craigslist for someone who isn't using their machine and they want to sell it! More times than not you can find someone who wants to sell their machine and cartridges for one price just to get rid of it!
- Cartridges are great for the alphabets alone! They can save you TON'S of money on alpha stickers and die cuts - and make it so you don't have left over letters, or not enough of one letter!
- Only buy what you will use - you truly don't need each and every cartridge out there!
- Spend time with other paper crafter's who have other machines, in order be able to see and use other machines before you purchase them!
