My December Daily Must-Have Tools & Supplies
I’ve finally done it! I’ve rounded up the most comprehensive list of my must haves for December Daily Scrapbooking - and year round! This is everything I use with the easiest-to-shop links I could manage (mostly Amazon) to make your shopping easy too!
This list DOES NOT include the actual scrapbooking product I’m using in 2021 - my kit post featuring small businesses and printables only is coming next week!
Affiliate links are used where applicable, I make a tiny portion of money if you use my links, but I don’t recommend anything I don’t love!
Specialty Papers and Media
Epson Premium Presentation Paper - The best paper for printing printables at home
Printable Washi Sticker Paper - This actually came from the UK and I can’t find a decent supplier stateside, so if you need an alternative, it looks like Frosty Clear Matte Photo Paper would work well, but I haven’t tried it.
Printable Acetate - This is the brand I use!
Printable Vellum - Not all vellums are alike, make sure you get a printable vellum!
Printable Diamond Glitter Cardstock - The BEST printable Glittery Card stock!
Stencil Blanks - For making your own stencils with the cameo, they’re also available at hobby lobby in the wall stencil section. You might need a Deep Cut Blade with these.
Strathmore Bristol Smooth Paper - for ink blending and coloring - I printed my digital stamps on this for coloring and it worked beautifully!
Mixed Media
Catherine Pooler Inks - My number one ink brand and the only inks I use! So juicy!
Ranger Texture Paste - Add some texture and depth with stencils!
Nuvo Glacier Paste - similar to the texture paste, but in colors and with glitter!
Ranger Glossy Accents - make things SHINY!
Ohuhu Markers - I bought a set of these and I’m impressed - they’re a great alternative to the more expensive brands!
Sakura Quickie Glue Roller Pens - perfect for detailed glitter application, hat tip to Jen Shurkus for turning me on to these cute pens
Versamark Embossing Ink and/or Embossing Pen for drawing. Don’t forget your Embossing Powder Tool and Embossing Tray!
Heat Transfer Foil for gold foiling!
Lawn Fawn Stamp Shammy - take care of those stamps!
Machines & Tools
Canon Pixma iX6820 Wide-Format Printer - There are less expensive alternatives, but the wide-format is a win for me!
Silhouette Cameo 4 - I couldn’t live without mine!
Scotch Laminator - Inexpensive alternative to a Minc Machine!
Sizzix Big Shot - Perfect for those dies you have laying around!
Tonic Studios Glass Media Mat - I do all my mixed media on this to contain the mess and make it glide!
Scotch Advanced Tape Glider - the #1 most used item in my craft room!
Embossing Heat Gun - any brand of these will do!
Tonic Stamp Platform - this is the one I have, but the original Misti is also available!
Ink Blending Brushes - I just bought some cheap ones off Amazon to try out, but I’m upgrading to Catherine Pooler ones soon!
Blending Brush Stand - You’re gonna need something to hold those brushes - trust me!
Ink Stands - I don’t have these yet BUT I NEED THEM
Make Art Stay-tion - Essential for holding down those stencils
