Cardmaking Tools & Product Recommendations
When making cards and 3D paper crafting items, I sometimes will use a product that does not have an equivalent offered by Stampin’ Up! In these cases I will find something elsewhere.
I suggest these cardmaking tools & products because I feel they will help keep your stamping experience STRESS FREE. I only recommend products or services that I feel provide value to you. If you purchase one of these items using my affiliate link, I may get a small commission. However, there is no additional cost you you.
All efforts are made to ensure that affiliate links are disclosed in accordance with the FTC.
