Advice on card making supplies.
This post is primarily directed at divaflip but I would welcome any advice.
For Christmas this year my present is to be a start up kit for card-making. I already have a little - black stamp pad and 6 nice stamps (thanks divaflip).
So one day sometime I'm planning to go to a store and buy up big on all the essentials for card-making.
I already know I want stamps pads of various colours and foam blocks for each. I'll need some more stamps and some basic card stock.
What else should I get? What are other people's favourite pieces of equipment?
Which store would be good? I was thinking of ringing around and announcing I was planning to spend about $150-$200 in the store and what kind of bulk discount that would entitle me to and maybe go to the store that offered the best discount - eg 10% off.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
