Required Supplies

Do you have all your supplies? Use this checklist to be sure you're not missing anything you'll need!

1. White Gesso This is essential for preparing your papers before applying watercolors and paint. It helps keep your papers flat and thin. This is the best way to waterproof your surface before playing with colors!
2. Watercolors I love playing with watercolors! They're so colorful and soft, so they're perfect for creating backgrounds and coloring in your stamps.
3. Waterbrush You can use a regular brush dipped in water, or you can use a waterbrush which already contains the water. They're so handy!
4. Embossing Tools The basic necessities for embossing your stamps are powder, Versamark ink and a heat gun. Embossing was one of the first techniques I learned when I started crafting, and I love the magic of it! I know you'll love it, too!
5. Stencils & Ink Use your favorite stencils to create patterned backgrounds, coordinating your ink color choices to your project.
6. Foam Squares These are perfect to add a little pop and extra dimension to your minibook's embellishments.
7. Basic Tools Get ready to create! Grab your trimmer, scissors, stapler and favorite black pen!
8. Willingness to Play! You have to be willing to experiment, try new things, make mistakes and PLAY!
