If I'm going to make a bunch of cards, I'll need some stuff. I figured that cardstock, cutesy paper and envelopes were a good start. I also picked up a two-size rounded-corner paper punch and a set of alphabet stamps. This stuff is expensive!
fancy paper, 48 sheets: $16
cardstock, 100 sheets: $5 on sale
300 envelopes: $23.98 (buy 200 get 100 free)
round corner punch: $9.99 (yikes!)
alphabet stamps: $7.99
total: $62.96
Ouch. I will someday invest in a paper cutter too, but I'm borrowing for now. Hopefully I won't have to buy anything else all year (at least for cards).
I'm new at this, so please clue me in. What are the must-have supplies? Where/how do you get good prices? Help!
so worth it!
ReplyDeletewhere did you go?
i am such a huge
fan of ben franklin crafts...
it's sort of a craft
wonderland and i
almost go into fits of
excitement everytime
i walk through the doors.
We had a beautiful, huge, and *horribly* expensive (~$90) corner cutter at the library at which I worked doing book conservation. I loved those rounded corners, but no way was I gonna spend that kind of money at home.
ReplyDeleteMy solution: as long as the corners don't need to be too big, I have had great success with two perfect implements, a regular nail clipper, and a toenail clipper!
Cost (as I already had them) $0.00
Feel-good effect: 10/10
