I read a wonderful article by GinaK on the Craft Critique blog. The title of her article was “Stamping on a Budget” and she went on to explain how a new stamper could get started with cardmaking (without taking a second mortgage on your house).
It is very true that a stamper can feel like she has to spend a few hundred dollars on the latest stuff to have a cool blog or a gallery of cards worth looking at. Not that I’ve ever felt that way myself… (Ha!)
Are you new to stamping? Be sure to check out Stamps, Ink & Paper, too. It’s full of helpful tips and techniques to get you started.
Happy stamping!
This article was great! I feel guilty all the money I have spent in the past on cardmaking supplies. Now we are on a budget and I cannot buy a lot anymore and have been looking forward to Christmas so I can get some new stuff!
I always look forward to Christmas and my Birthday for that reason!
