I have had some questions about #SimpleStamping and what it means. It is just simple basic stamping using Stamps, Ink, Paper, and, perhaps, a Paper Trimmer or Punches. You don’t need many #SimpleStamping Basic Supplies to get started stamping. There are quite a variety of supplies to choose from.
This Video is about 15 minutes long.

ADHESIVES & TOOLS
~Tombow Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals for cards with more than one layer.
TOOLS
~Paper Trimmer or cutter. This will help you cut straight lines. Get one with a Scoring Blade to help you make straight lines to fold on.
~Stamp Cleaners. My favorite is the Simply Shammy which just uses water.
~Stampin’ Pierce Mat. You will need this when using Photopolymer stamps.
~Bone Folder. Use this to help make crisp folds for your card bases and 3D projects. I also use it to make sure sure the adhesive sticks on my 3D projects. I use a Bone Folder on almost every project.
~Punches are an easy way to make your card more interesting and to give it some dimension. Punches are much cheaper than dies and last for years! They are also quick and easy to use.
