What are your suggestions, I would like to make ONE trip to the craft store lol .... Anything else about card making you can suggest?

Hi! I would recommend rubber stamps. I love them! Craft stores have TONS to choose from. Card stock, scrapbook paper, glue and ribbon are the only other things I can think of that I use. Good luck! It's so much fun! I started at Christmas, and I've been doing some misc cards here and there.

I'm a scrapbooker but dabble in cards from time to time. I'd say along with your paper, cricut, and the above mentioned stamps and inks, adhesive and ribbon, you should also pick up a bone folder and a trimmer if you don't already have them. Pop dots will give dimension to your cards. Have fun!

I dabble in card making, the supplies for it are so fun! Stamps, inkpads, embellishments, paper punches, lots of accent patterned papers, and a few different kinds of adhesives.

I have the pink atg gun and really like that for card making. Glue dots also come in handy for buttons etc.

This is more of a luxury but i really like the cuttlebug or some sort of dry embosser. It takes plain paper from blah to wow in just a few seconds. The folders are really inexpensive and you get great results.

You can make more than just flat cards. There's 3D ones, step cards, easel, warterfall, trifold and a ton more. Aside from what was mentioned already, I'd get a score board like Martha Stewarts. It comes with a bone folder and will give you crisp creases. Very helpful when you're making cards of any type.

Good luck going just once to the craft store .

I like to use solid light colored cardstocks for the bases of my cards. 8.5x11 sheets cut in half are the perfect size for cards.

Off the top of my head here is a list of things I would recommend: lots of different colors of cardstocks, ATG gun or mono adhesive runners, acid-free craft glue, pop dots, ribbons, paper piercer, Tim Holtz Tonic scissors, brads, stamps (I like ones that say sentiments).

My biggest recommendation would be the Cricut machine. I LOVE mine. It's not a cheap investment at all, but totally worth it IMO. There are so many different things you can do with it.

Stampin Up also has starter kits, and also card kits. That way, you could test out the hobby without getting fully committed.
