scrapbooking, we have tried to highlight the most important ones.
Rubber Stamping Pads: Rubber stamping pads come in a variety of shades and colors. Stamp pads can be used to tint and colorize embellishments as
well as distress paper and chipboard. Dye based stamp pads are great for projects where you need a fast setting ink. Have some time on this project?

brands. If you?re very creative, you can even make your own stickers with any one of the commercially avaible sticker adhesive machines. Why not recycle
those adorable magazine pictures as stickers in a timeless scrapbook album?
Ribbon: Scrapbooking and rubber stamping ribbon comes in a variety of widths from 1/8? to 2? or more depending on what you need for your project.
Color coordinated spools of ribbon can be purchased at almost any craft and hobby store. Today?s scrapbooking ribbon is especially designed with the
current styles and trends in mind.
Staples, buttons, and metal fasteners: Scrapbooking embellishments include metal fasteners, colored staples, faux flowers, buttons, and paper clips. Items
usually found at an office supply store have now become important to have on hand while scrapbooking stamping. Create coordinated sets of
embellishments by purchasing white embellishments and colorize them with stamp ink or paint. Having embellishments that perfectly match your paper
and are coordinated to compliment each other will add a special touch to every project.
Card stock: Card stock can be handmade, hand dyed, and you may even purchase printable fabric stock paper. Acid free paper, which will keep your
memorable albums in perfect shape for the longest time possible, is an important item to use throughout your scrapbook album.
Albums: Make sure that your memories are timeless by finding a strong and sturdy album. The standard album sizes are 8.5 x 11, 6 x 6, and 12 x 12.
These sizes go perfectly with the most scrapbooking paper dimensions. Albums can also be found in smaller sizes and can even be custom-made for
special projects. Add a personal touch and distinction to each album by making the cover unique and attractive!
While you only need a few supplies and your creativity to have fun in stamping and scrapbooking, these supplies will make your time spent scrapbooking
and rubber stamping even more enjoyable.
