Supply List

With just around two weeks left, you are probably beginning to pack your supply bag. (I have trouble doing this too soon because I still want to use my stuff up until when I have to leave!)

Here is the final supply list, however, if there are certain tools you love to use, make sure you bring those too!

FINAL Supply List:

PLEASE NOTE:  Initial all of your supplies to avoid any confusion!

Adhesive- bring you favorite. Everyone has different tastes when it comes to adhesive. Bring enough for at least 30 or more projects.  We figure you will need at least one entire tape cartridge per day.  So plan on bringing 2 full cartridges (just in case a cartridge breaks) and eight refills.  If you plan on doing any open stamping, you will want to bring even more than that.  The last thing you want to do is run out of adhesive while you're in the middle of the ocean!

Rubber cutting scissors- Gina K. and Stampingbella stamps are rubber and Gina K. Designs sets will need to be trimmed.

Paper snips- for detail cutting

Small papercutter

Black Ink Memento Pad

Paper piercer and pad

Corner Rounder Punch

foam dimensionals

white pigment pad

mini glue dots

mini stapler

Ruler

Pencil

-----------

Optional supplies-
Ink pads in colors
More adhesive
Card stock
Ribbon, Buttons, Brads
Punches
Coloring tools

There will be a place for open stamping that seats about 20-24 people at a time for those of you who would like to stamp your own projects. You will be receiving plenty of new stamps but you many want to bring an assortment of supplies that you can use for your independent stamping time. There will only be stamping supplies available during stamping class time.

Make sure you bring extra card stock for your own projects. You can always pre-cut cards and bring extra white and colored card stock to create projects.

Remember, this bag must be checked as you can not bring any scissors or cutting tools on the plane.

 

We can't stress enough about the adhesive. Everyone is different. Some people use a tiny dot on each corner, other cover every square inch of card stock. Only you know how you like to use it so bring enough for your own personal style. :)(That's just one of those things that you can't do without.)

We're getting closer and closer to our cruise!! Are you excited! Woo-hoo!

 

Hugs,

Gina K.

Does the black ink have to be memento? Will another brand of ink work? What does it have to be safe for? (i.e. watercoloring, copics, etc...) I don't have that exact brand but do have several others so want to check before I go out to buy yet another black ink pad...

Thanks!

So excited! I can't believe it's two weeks away already!

[Gina K.]

We would recommended Memento ink because it works for both copics and pencils and OMS. If you have your favorites for those two mediums, bring what you have. We're not sure if there will be the ability to heat set at every class.
Hope that helps.

Will one of you be bringing OMS? I can bring my pencils but am afraid the OMS will leak! If you do bring it, would we be able to use it when we aren't in class? I love the pencils that Gina sells.

[Janis L U]

I have a question. What does OMS stand for?

[Karen]

Gina thanks for the updated list, it is greatly appreciated.

Gina,
I figured it out. I am half asleep so the initials did not click. For those of you who are wondering how to carry it with you - the following website has an excellent idea on how to store the OMS -http://sweetmissdaisy.typepad.com/sassy_sweet_notes/tips_tricks/index.html

[Wendy Bond (joelysmom)]

Ok, I know now I need another suitcase!!! I am sooo excited....eeeek!!

[SusanB]

Alright I give in - what in the world is OMS? (I tried followed Janis's link and still couldn't figure it out.)

SOOOOOOO looking forward to the cruise!!!!

Gina - thanks so much for the list.
2 questions:

1. Do we need to bring our own acrylic blocks? If so - what size(s) should we bring? How about craft tweezers? I sometimes use them for picking up small details - or even for mini glue dots.

2. Will the small paper cutter be just for trimming small items - or do I need to be able to cut 8-1/2 x 11 or 12 x 12 paper for cards? I have one that is only about 6" long and 3 in" wide or I have my fiskars that can cut up to 12". Not sure which one we need.

Thanks again - CAN'T WAIT - woo hoo!
Pam

[Gina K.]

OMS is Odorless mineral spirits and yes, we will have some with us. :)

[Gina K.]

Acrylic blocks- I would bring a small assortment for words, greetings and stamps up to about 3" X 3". We will have some blocks but if you're doing any other stamping other than in class or you don't like to wait, bring a few extras.

The small paper cutter should be fine. I will have a big one in my classes but everything is precut except a couple of projects, but the cutting is small enough that your smaller fiskars cutter should be fine.

Hi there,

I was wondering... will anyone be selling the Memento Pads on the ship? I have looked high and low here in Edmonton (Canada) and can not find Memento.

Thanks ever so much!
Angela

[Gina K.]

We will not be bringing any products to sell, but we have a few extra things for use during class for those who can't find something before hand.
