24 Things You'll Need To Start Making Cards | Cardmaking Supplies for Beginner Cardmakers

We are so lucky to have access to ALL THE THINGS! I began card making 40 years ago and all I had was paper, a black ink pad, stamps on a wood block and colored pencils. I still love to color with Prismacolor pencils and a blender; as for all the other things....YES YES YES.

Excellent coverage of what a beginner might need. The only thing that I would recommend is printed paper, for example, florals, birthday theme. I found that when I began I used printed paper until I could afford to buy some of the other things, like a variety of stamp sets. I would also recommend a good overall sentiment stamp set that covers a variety of phrases.

Even though I have no interest in making any cards, ur videos did teach me. I just love listening to your voice it’s very soothing 😊 ty !!

I have been making cards and Cricut projects for about a year and a half. I was fortunate when I started that I found you and your channel. All of the items you discussed today were the same items you recommended when I first started. I filled my craft room with your expert recommendations and I have been so happy with all of it! You inspire me with your wonderfully soft colors and creative projects. I don’t think I ever had the chance to thank you for your guidance - but this seemed the best time. Thank you, Bethany for your great product recommendations. I have never wasted a nickel on your picks! Keep us inspired! You are a gift!

This was such a wonderful video Bethany! All of yours are but this one was such a great help. I just ordered so many things and I’m so happy…now I feel much more prepared to continue on my card-making journey. Many thanks to you!

Hello, I have been making cards for a very long time already but, you always inspire me. I love to watch your videos. Many people will find this video very inspiring and informational. Thank you for the share and take care.

As a card maker for many years I think your recommendations for a beginner are on the mark! As someone that was afraid to color, I began stamping on colored cardstock (i,e, stamp the ducks on yellow cardstock, etc) with Memento ink then die cutting. I eventually became more comfortable with coloring.

This was very helpful. I plan to start card making and didn’t know all the items people use. Thank you for putting this video together!

Finally I have a proper understanding of what the dies are actually for! Thank you! ☺️

Hi Bethany, I found your channel recently & subscribed! Your new room is just beautiful! I started paper crafting over 20 years ago. I went to a party and got hooked! I was recently engaged, so I bought all the supplies & made our wedding invitations & almost everything that required paper for our wedding. It’s such a fun hobby. This video is wonderful, you did a great job. Now, I need a Misti 😊

An hour long Bethadilly video, yes please! I’ve been so nervous to start card making, I mostly work with Cricut projects for now.. but I’m excited to start 🤗 thanks for the informative video!

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that I appreciate and love everything that you do. Thank you so much for making such lovely and entertaining videos and motivating us every time! Can't wait to see your complete craft room tour.

Hello, as someone who has always wanted to start making cards. I appreciate all you have shared here, now I know where to start. Thank you. God bless.

I haven’t been disappointed in any of the products you’ve recommended. Your tips and product reviews are sooo helpful!! Thank you!

You are the reason I started card making! This video is perfect! I love your style! I have finally completed my Concord and 9th ink collection! Thank you for taking time to make videos!

I love your work, you are so thorough!!!♥️

I'd suggest an Anna Griffin Empress over the Gemini Jr. I have both and the Empress is easier to use, quieter and sturdier. I've had mine since 2018 with no issues at all.

Great video to help the new crafters out there! The card is really adorable.

Woo Hooo - Thanks for sharing this tutorial - I was able to show it to a friend who is interested in getting started. I guided her to your channel. As always, thanks for sharing your time and talent. Continue to be blessed as you are a blessing to others. 🌸

Super helpful, Bethany!!
