Papercrafting

Papercrafting

At Scrapbook New England Getaways, we are passionate about crafting beautiful and unique scrapbooks and crafts. We believe that the beauty of handmade scrapbooks lies in their memories, and we celebrate these moments in every piece you create. 

What are some of the materials papercrafters and scrapbookers use?

Well, all weights of paper, of course, including vellum, cardstock, tissue and every weight of stock.

Other items used in scrapbooking are:

• buttons- all shapes, sizes, color
• lace or other woven fabrics that adhere to paper
• stickers- you can buy or even make stickers in every design imaginable. Some stickers are even 3 dimensional in appearance or raised for a depth effect.
• cut outs/die-cuts- letters, shapes from popular tools like the Cricut, Cuttlebug and others. Some images can be digitally produced from your computer from free websites and other applications that afford downloading of images that can then be produced on your own printer or die-cutting machine.
• inks and rubber stamps- all kinds
• Distressing techniques, paints, burlap, wood, foam
• shapemakers-  cutting punches range from simple shapes like circles and geometrical forms to tiny spiders or airplanes, snowflakes, paisley cutouts or tags. Even a length of a border for a large book page can be created in a variety of ways, fences, lace binding, zig-zag patterns, for example.
