New to scrapbooking?
This page is for you. Sometimes it can be intimidating starting something new when you don't know the terminology and you couldn't pick an embellishment from an embossing folder so here's a glossary of terms to help you get your head around the gear. To keep the page concise I'm only going to list the items that aren't self explanatory, that have an unusual name or a special function that you may need help figuring out.Alcohol inks
Specially formulated to create a colorful, polished stone effect. This ink can also be applied to acrylic, plastic, metal, foil, glass, and many non-porous surfaces. Find here.
Cartridges
Some scrapbooking machines like the Cricut cut shapes out of cardboard and other materials. They need a cartridge loaded with the appropriate shape in order to cut it. Find here.
Colour Wash
An acid-free, non-toxic, water-based dye developed for use on paper, fibers, fabric and more. These earthy and bright spray dyes will colorize paper, fibers, fabric, wood, paper clay and other absorbent surfaces. Ideal for paper crafters, mixed media and fabric artists alike. Find here.
Cutting Dies
These are the 'must have' accessories in scrapbooking, cardmaking & papercrafting. You buy the die then cut out the designs or letters to use on your scrapbooks. In minutes, your scrapbooks look like you've spent hours. Choose from a selection of shapes & designs, frames, borders and corners to enhance any scrapbook layout, craft project and more. Find here.

Distress Markers
These markers have a fine pen nib and a fibre brush like felt tip end at the other. They draw with distress ink which is an acid free; non-toxic; fade resistant; water- based dye ink.
