SO of Loved It: It was so nice I bought it TWICE!

Any wood grain paper, ledger, or other paper that I might like for a background or a floral paper that can be fussy cut.

I bought two sheets of PP more often than not for years (because I did two page layouts often) but I don't use PP as a background as often so I'm more likely to just get one now unless it's something that I really love AND is versatile.

I often buy multiple stickers and paper.

When I found out Shimelle had been dropped from AC I may have gone on a Shimelle spending spree. There are a couple of her older collections that if I come across even now, I will buy multiples of (Little by Little and Starshine).


The January 2021 main & embellishments add-on kits from Hip Kit Club. I think it was the first time ever that I’d killed a kit. I loved it so much!! At their Black Friday sale that year I purchased a second main kit and an additional patterned paper pack. I haven’t used either and I do regret buying it again. Lesson learned!

I buy 2 pps if: 1. I adore them 2. they have a cut apart and I also like the b-side 3. I think they'd make a good 2 page background.

I have bought a 2nd package of alphabet stickers or thickers when they are exactly my style, and I have a couple of duplicate OA mini-market alphas for this reason too (and I'm into the 2nd sheet for common letters, so totes worth it).

Recently I accidentally purchased a collection kit TWICE(the photo play gamer one) because I loved it so much and had such FOMO I forgot I ordered it the first time!

I have certainly learned not to be afraid to buy duplicate - if I am using discretion in NOT buying the "meh" items!

Stamps: I'm not sure on this one. I'd love to buy a number stamp set that is a 1/2" or smaller with multiples of the same number. I'd be okay with buying multiples of a stamp set if it was just 0-10 and the price was reasonable.  I'd like a stamp set that has the years of 2020-2029. It seems like when there is a stamp set that has a year, there's a lot of other images I don't want. Like a stamp set that has a lot of New Years sayings with a 2023.

Paper: I have bought paper packs of 25 if they are at a really great discount or I know they'll be very versatile. I have used most of an SEI paper that has a pine tree pattern. It's hard to explain, but I can use it for outdoor and Christmas photos. Another SEI Eerie Alley paper that has a subtle gray and white background. Me and nylene split some papers with rainbow stripes, stars, and a floral pattern.

I bought two of the large and two of the small Tim Holtz stamp platforms.

I have three pairs of Cutter Bee scissors.

I have bought duplicate Heartfelt Creations paper pads that I love.

I have multiples of many patterned papers. In the past, I may have even bought duplicate paper packs (25 sheets each) from Tuesday Morning, if it was a pattern that I really loved.

I have multiple cutting mats.

I don’t buy duplicate stamps or dies, at least not intentionally. I have unintentionally bought duplicates, though thankfully not many.

I buy multiples of any dies I purchase with the intent of using for felt. Most things I stitch require 2 copies of whatever I’m die cutting in felt. I have a favorite rainbow stitching die set that I use regularly that I have 2 sets of. I recently saw them go on clearance and picked up 2 more sets. Having more sets let’s me maximize what I’m cutting and often means less wear and tear for the die cut machine.

I have bought a few Doodlebug collections twice, the punny ones (So Punny and So Much Pun). Sometimes I just go back and buy another paper pad to use up the massive number of die cuts they give you in a pack, but I think a couple of times I've gone back and bought second die cut pack too, just because I love it so much and wanted to make more of certain punny cards.

Usually it's not a good idea for me to go back and buy more of the same collection though. I overbought some Shimelle Starshine papers and ran out of things I wanted to use them with. And I bought a second pack of papers for Paige Evan's Bloom Street and then lost momentum with the collection, even though I loved it in the beginning. I prefer to buy once and make a whole lot of cards and then give away the leftovers and move on.

For me, probably embellishments and pp.

Forgot to add that they are a small owned business. Sometimes they do take a break, but not for long, and not often. They are always good about sticking to the date they say they will come back.

Cinch binding machine (square and circle holes)
Bind it all machine (before i bought the Cinch machine, i had the BIA in blue and pink)
paper (always buy at least 2 especially if it's double sided)
paper trimmers (3 of the old Making Memories self sharpening trimmer)
scissors
Scor Tape (tons of rolls. so many rolls in different sizes)

Black grid washi tape, it goes with everything, and I could see myself actually using up the entire roll (and we all know how long washi lasts)

Rainbow washi tape (think 80's rainbow colors, not pastels) times three because my oldest took my roll and rainbowed everything she owns and I might want to use it someday...

I bought several 25 packs from TM because of the b-sides were so versatile (woodgrain, grid etc) but only bought each pack once so does that count?

I need to buy a 2nd sheet of that Photoplay Gamer Minecraft looking paper because my DS (9) decided to scrapbook with my paper and photos I had sitting out (although his layout is cute...) and I would like make an accompanying/coordinating layout to go with his.

Simple Stories paper from Ugly Christmas Sweater with green dashes on it because I really like the shade of green and the layout I made with it came together super easily, I think I have three sheets left.  I also received an ugly Christmas sweater from DH this year, so now I can use both sides   

Paper airplane/paper clip paper from Echo Park because, again it was a really nice shade of green, and I can use paper airplanes and paperclips on all kinds of layouts (I think I bought 5 sheets.)  School, office, work, being silly, kids, actual paper airplanes...

The usual blades, cardstock, adhesive...

I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, usually by the time I think I should buy more of something every speck of whatever it is is long gone...
