These are a few of my favorites things...

As a long-time paper crafter, I've definitely got my favorite supplies that I'm constantly reaching for. In honor of (Inter)National Scrapbooking Day which is now a weeklong celebration for many in the industry, I'm sharing 10 of my favorite paper crafting supplies. Make sure you read all the way to the end for a special surprise!

If you love to die cut, this tool is a game changer! I've purchased several Magic Mats in varying sizes sizes for my different die cutting machines--the standard, the extended and the plus sized mats. As someone who is environmentally conscious in my craft room, I love products that last longer or extend the life of other products--and this one does both! I've been using my original Magic Mat since November 2020 and it is still giving me perfect die cuts each and every time. But it has also allowed me to use the same top plastic cutting pad that entire time too and it has had zero warping. Be sure to pair the Magic Mat with Mint Tape for fuss free die cutting!

It's no secret that I love to organize my craft supplies. In fact, it's like a separate hobby all on its own. I love the Scrapbook.com storage envelopes because they come in varying sizes and are made of a nice sturdy material. The translucent material also makes it perfect to see what you have stored inside, from dies, to paper scraps to ephemera. 

If you love adding ink to your cards, die cuts and other projects, using a domed foam is a fool-proof way to get a smooth blend. It also has the ability to get into the small nooks and crannies of your detailed stencils, giving you better images. 

This set of rainbow hued paints add a pop of color to any project! You can use Pops of Color to add enamel dots, apply through stencils, use to tint art mediums, paint with and much more. They come in pearl, glitter and gloss for a variety of options. I have to admit that as of writing this, I own every color available and my favorite way to use them is mixing a small dollop with a drop or two of water and splattering it on my projects for a hint of color or shine. 

Scrapbook.com's smooth cardstock pads are perfectly color coordinated and come in A2, 6x8 and slimline sizes, making them the perfect size for die cutting, matting photos and card fronts. The cardstock isn't too thick or too thin and the smooth surface is even perfect for stamping on. Paired with the Magic Mat, you'll get endless possibilities as a die cutter. Bonus tip: store your A2 cardstock pads in the ink pad storage unit for keeping your pads organized and within easy reach! 

Add shimmer and shine to your projects with the metallic ink and reinkers in gold, frost or rose gold. Layer it over your other inks through stencils or splatter the drops from the reinker on your projects. My favorite ways to use these: adding the metallic inks through a stencil on smooth dark cardstock or mixing a few drops of reinker with water and splattering over my projects. 

Glueing together your elements is a must for paper crafters! I love the double sided adhesive rolls and adhesive foam rolls. The regular adhesive rolls get as thin as 1/8 inch, making it perfect for any sized project. The foam adds a wonderful dimension to your projects. And you get a ton of product on every roll! 

This liquid adhesive is truly smart! It's perfect for glueing down intricate or delicate die cuts. But what I love most about Smart Glue is that it is perfect for foiling! This glue remains tacky even after drying, allowing you to apply foil sheets or flakes over the top for all the shimmery, sparkly goodness! 

These metallic markers are great for adding journaling or a note inside a card. I love that the sturdy marker tip keeps these writing implements from getting clogged. I'm a firm believer that you can never have too much sparkle and these markers have tons of sparkle factor! Pair them with the glitter brush marker on your projects for even more sparkle. 

Scrapbook.com's albums come in a variety of colors and sizes. The sturdy covers and materials help them stand the test of time and the D-ring makes it easy to load page protectors and rearrange them. These albums are not only perfect for storing your cherished memories, but for storing supplies in! I like to use the 6x8 size for storing small stencils and stamps in.
