Alice's FAVES - ScrapHappy

If you’re looking for a great basic letter these are very versatile and come in a variety of colours. The great thing is that you can order more of the same ones when you run low!

These are some of my fave dies for a manual die cut machine. The letters are just the right size for scrapbookers.

PENS & MARKERS

Copic Multiliner Pens (from A Cherry On Top) – these pens don’t bleed and are amazing with watercolour, mixed media and alcohol ink markers too!

Sarasa Mark On Zebra Pens (from Amazon) – these pens are a ballpoint pen that is NOT a gel pen and they are meant not to bleed.

Sharpie S-Note creative markers (from Amazon) are great highlighters that don’t smear most inks! They come in light colours similar to the Zebra Mildliners, but are better at not smearing. (in my tests!) I like them with the Copic Multiliners, Sharpie pens (felt tip), Sharpie Gel pens, and my favourite Sarasa Mark On pens from Zebra.

PRINTING

Epson Eco-Tank ET2750 from Amazon

STENCILING

I use stencils with my inks and mixed media supplies.

My favourite stencils are from Scrapping Reflections and The Crafter’s Workshop.

Brushes: When putting ink through a stencil the best tool, in my opinion is a brush. I like the brushes from Gina K Designs. They have super-soft bristles and you can vary the amount of ink you transfer to your paper by putting pressure on the head of the brush.

Distress Oxides

I flocked to join the crafters and scrapbookers that have fallen head over heels in love with the new Tim Holtz Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.

I made this comparison chart of the shades of blue.
