An Introduction to Stampin Up Scrapbooking
This is a question I get asked often, but both new scrapbookers and those who have been scrapbooking but are new to Stampin' Up! FEAR NO MORE! I am going to offer you a few basics to help you start your journey through preserving your family memories.
While I have been scrapbooking periodically over the last 7 years as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I have gotten more serious over the last 3 years since the first time I was a vendor at a scrapbooking crop. There are a few tools that I feel are truly essential to scrappers.
1. QUALITY CARDSTOCK AND PAPER
The great thing that Stampin Up offers is quality cardstock and coordinating Designer Series Papers that are MEANT to go together. One package of 12 x 12 of any of the color families provides enough sheets to create 10-15 layouts EASILY. Add that ONE package of Designer Series Paper, you then can add depth and at LEAST 5-10 additional pages to your album.
2. PAPER TRIMMER The Fiskars Personal Paper Trimmer opens up to 12 x 15" long with clear markings to crop your photos, make great mattes for them, too!
3. ALPHABET STAMP SET Make quick and TOTALLY customized titles, and never ever run out of a letter! Stampin' Up! offers over 20 alphabet stamp sets, some very large, others very small. Simple to ornate, something for all styles and budgets!
4. INK PADS - To get started 3 or 4 ink pads that coordinate with the 12 x 12 cardstock and Designer Series Paper.
5. ADHESIVE - Lignen free and Archival quality adhesive is really a must, you don't want to put this much work and love into a project that is going to fall apart or ruin your photos. My personal favorite is SNAIL, it is an acronym for Simple, Neat, Affordable InLine adhesive. Runner up is the Tombow MultiPurpose Adhesive!
