My Giant Art and Craft Supply Haul
Hello everyone! As you may remember, I returned from a trip to America in December. I went to film an exciting new online class I have developed with Scrapbook.com, which will become available on their website early 2016. They were so generous in supplies with me, as we worked hard to develop a beautiful and excellent class. Some of the supplies you’ll see here, will be in the class and some are ones I bought while away on my trip… on amazing Black Friday sales, I’ll add!! 🙂
I’ve been desperate to show you all the fun stuff I got and finally am able to share this! Come with me as I show you through this giant haul of 217 art and craft supplies, yes, 217! I’ll warn you, it’s a long video. But I thought you might enjoy it, if I just talked you through these new supplies and hope you enjoy the video! Below are visual links to every supply I show in the video!
I know you are going to love some of these supplies and I’m excited to share them with you!
I want to hear from you in the comments below!
- What would you love to have me do tutorials with?
- What are your favorite supplies which I’ve shown here?
- Or, perhaps you just have questions or comments! 🙂
And of course, enjoy the links below, of all these fun new supplies!
Below are links to this giant art and craft supply haul. I hope it helps you find anything you may want to try out. All links are to Scrapbook.com and Amazon.com.
Click images or links in the collections below, to view or purchase.
Books
Of all these books, I’d have to say, I am enjoying the Passion translation books of the Bible, The Artist’s Journal Workshop and the Dylusions Creative Journal. Of course the out of print books will not be linked here due to their lack of availability.
Art & Craft Tools
I think the Label Maker, Envelope Punch Board and 12 inch paper trimmer will be my most useful tools here, but I’m excited to use them all for various reasons.
Embellishments & Stickers
Who doesn’t love embellishments?! My mom would be loving the stickers. She had a huge sticker collection that my sister inherited. Stickers are such a great way to get started creating when you’re short on time or unsure of what to do. But those paper clips… one word… adorable. Those feather paper clips from Pink Paislee are a favorite!
Page Prep Supplies
It was nice to get a few page prep supplies restocked and I am already finding it handy to have little Ranger Ink Craft Sheets, which I cut down to a great size for each of the wide-margin Bibles that I art journal in. I’m guessing some of you will ask what my favorite gesso is. Have a look at my Supplies page to see my thoughts on page prep products.
Decorative Tapes
Washi tape, decorative tape, tissue tape… However and whatever you call it… it’s the pretty tape. 🙂
Pens & Pencils
I was particularly thrilled to get a better selection of grey and skin tone colors of Prismacolor colored pencils, though all of these are useful in various ways.
Inks & Inking Tools
I am slowly but surely getting all the Distress Inks. I’m a big fan of supplies which have multiple uses, so Distress Inks get a big thumbs up for me. And the color selection is beautiful too! I’m not convinced they are colorfast, but if you’re just enjoying a personal devotional process or making cards or similar to give away, they are fantastic.
Paints, Sprays & Mediums
I am especially happy to have a better collection of Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic Paints and a few Dina Wakley Heavy Body Acrylic Paints. Both are fantastic for art journaling or Bible art journaling, where a matte finish is key to ensuring no pages stick together during the paint curing time.
Stencils
I really love using stencils in my artwork. Until now, most of my stencils, have been British ones which are not really available internationally. I’m pretty excited to have a better range of stencils which will allow me to more freely share with you, some of my favorite ways to use them in simple and beautiful ways.
Paper, Vellum & Acetate
I honestly don’t have a very big collection of papers and don’t really need that much for what I do. It was good to get a few things, to have some options when the need arises.
Creating In Faith Collection
I love the Esther stamp and Royal stamp set. Though the Bible book stamps are little and easy to lose track of if you’re not careful, they are such a fantastic way to draw attention back to a section of scripture created with. It’s not always perfectly obvious what scripture is highlighted when creating in a Journaling Bible and I think this little set helps bring things back to the point.
Dies, Die Cutting Supplies & Embossing Folders
I love products which can be used in multiple ways. The Inkadinkado Stamping Mask Paper will be super practical and wonderful to have in my studio. The Lawn Fawn Circle Die Set will also be very practical. The Sizzix Tim Holtz Thinlits Globe Die might be less versatile, but it is incredibly beautiful with its details.
Stamp & Die Sets
These stamp and coordinating die sets are so fun. I’m looking forward to sharing how I’ve been already using them and hope you’ll share with me too! 🙂
Stamps & Stamping Tools
I’m most excited about the acrylic blocks and variety of alphabet stamp sets. It is always fun to get beautiful supplies, but its the practical ones which help us make beautiful creations.
My Friend Valerie Sjodin
I mentioned my friend Valerie Sjodin in the video and said I’d share links to how to find her and her work. I’d highly recommend you connect with what she’s doing. She is SUCH a delight and her creative work is stunning. She also has online workshops! You can check her out at these links…

I have been druling over the journal bibles since last year. My second favorite thing you use is prisma coloured pencils. Someday I will own them.
Feb 20, 2016 @ 2:02 pm
The double column ESV journaling Bible can be reasonable on Eden.co.uk so perhaps it’s not too far out of reach with some saving. And the prismacolor colored pencils can be bought individually at some shops which could allow you to buy them for about £2-3 each as you collect favorites in time. 🙂 It’s a thought anyway.
Feb 20, 2016 @ 1:20 am
Rebekah, I feel honored that you would feature my Bible Journaling with the links. Thank you! What a blessing it was to meet in person; kindred spirits 🙂 And you did make quite a haul of art supplies! Wow! Love and hugs, Valerie
Feb 22, 2016 @ 11:28 pm
If only we had time to play with it all before finishing our late night! 🙂 Love and hugs to you too friend. x
Feb 20, 2016 @ 1:48 am
I’ve been so excited about this. I have my pen and paper handy and I’m ready to learn… And make up my Christmas list for next year. LOL
Feb 22, 2016 @ 11:29 pm
I’ve been excited too! Thanks for your patience. What about your birthday?! 😉
Feb 20, 2016 @ 2:54 am
Rebekah, I have been following you for just a couple of months and blazing through last year’s challenges along with your new 2016 series. It has been very timely, and now my sister and niece are also joining in, and it is great for us! Thank you so much!! I am also taking the first of Valerie Sjodin’s online journaling classes.
Maybe Valerie can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe she uses the SATIN formulation of the Golden Acrylic Glazing Medium as a Bible page preparation, not the GLOSS formulation which you show and have linked. I think that she specifies the satin for the same reason that you recommend matte formulas only–because of the glossy stuff being prone to stick pages together!! I have been using the Satin glazing as my page preparation as I follow along with YOUR 2015 challenges, and it has been working really well for me. I love you both!!
Feb 22, 2016 @ 11:32 pm
Hello! I apologize, I meant to clarify that very thing in the video. When I was at the shop, they did not have satin and I bought gloss just in case it ended up being a good solution for my canvas paintings. People should buy the satin if they intend to use it like Valerie suggests. 🙂 I’m glad you’re enjoying a class from her! She is the SWEETEST!
Feb 23, 2016 @ 4:41 pm
Gotcha! It’s good to know that I’m still in sync with my teachers! Maybe I will finally post a pic one of these days…
Feb 24, 2016 @ 3:37 pm
I hope you’ll share! It’s great to connect together along the process and toss self-expectation out the window. What you’re doing matters and is eternally significant. 🙂
Feb 20, 2016 @ 3:17 am
Wow, such fun goodies to use! I look forward to seeing you use everything but would really love to see you use the foil and the velum from Tim Holtz 12×12 pad. Thanks!
Feb 22, 2016 @ 11:34 pm
Hi Sue! Isn’t that vellum gorgeous?! And everybody loves foil. 🙂
Feb 20, 2016 @ 4:51 am
I really appreciate the time and attention to detail used here. Some lingering questions were answered and some inspiration struck too. I would love to see the vellum, the foil sheets, and the masking paper. I did not catch the link for the stylus so I plan to find it in the video with a rerun. Enjoy and know that I look forward to watching you create and teach. Joyfully, Celeste
Feb 22, 2016 @ 11:38 pm
Thanks! I’m so glad I could answer some of your questions. That link to the stylus is in the tools section above. This is my favorite stylus set though… 🙂 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0019N9ZNK?tag=rebekahrjones-20
Feb 20, 2016 @ 7:05 am
I have been so anticipating this video! You got so much stuff! I’m curious about the foil & also the ink spray!
Feb 22, 2016 @ 11:39 pm
Me too! So fun to finally be able to share it. I must get out that foil, based on the comments here. 🙂
Feb 20, 2016 @ 10:33 pm
Wow, thanks for sharing! I love distress inks and acrylics but I think I’m most interested in the tools like the punch board, die sets, and adhesive applicators. I don’t have any tools beyond scissors and glue sticks so I’m very curious about all the different things crafters use!
Feb 22, 2016 @ 11:41 pm
I’d recommend you watch Jennifer McGuire Ink on YouTube. You’d probably really enjoy learning about all those tools from her. She is FULL of information and great tutorials. 🙂
Feb 20, 2016 @ 11:36 pm
Thanks so much for all the hard work you put into getting all the supplies listed and linked. What a blessing for you to enjoy and thankfully I get to watch you create with them.
I would love to know ways that I can use my supplies to be a blessing to others. My Bible Art, and Art Journal are personal, I don’t share my entries often. But I do like to make cards, and bookmarks to use as encouragements. I bought the knitting stamp set right away. I am a knitter and will really enjoy that one.
Feb 22, 2016 @ 11:52 pm
You are so sweet Ellen. I’m glad you like that stamp set! It is adorable. Just a hint, you’ll be glad you have it when my new class on Scrapbook.com comes out. 😉 I love what you’re saying about blessing others. It’s on my heart too and that is why I said in December that I’ll be starting a series on prophetic arts. I think our relationships with God always have to start with Him and us but at some point they have to grow outward or they can run the risk of becoming stagnant. He LOVES when we give out what He has poured into us. I am looking forward to creating a series on my blog to help people through that unfolding journey.
Feb 21, 2016 @ 12:23 am
I love this video, and all of the goodies you found!!! I know you didn’t feature these items in your post, but I would love to see a tutorial on colored pencils using Gamsol and blending stumps. I just purchased the 132 set of Prismacolor pencils (63% off!!!), and would love to see so,e new techniques for blending and shading. I’m by no means an artist, and am a beginner at journaling (I have done 2 pages, both inspired from your tutorials) so your videos are helpful, and simply inspiring. Love the devotional portions. I learn so much from you in that respect – diving deeper into meanings of scripture. Thank you for sharing what you do!
Feb 22, 2016 @ 11:56 pm
How sweet. Thanks for your comments. 63% off is fantastic too! Way to go!
Feb 21, 2016 @ 2:04 am
Your “haul” is a dream! I have been journaling with you for 6 months or so and would love to see more ways to layer on my pages before the words. I have some distress inks and spray and don’t feel confident with them yet. how do you blend and layer with them, even using stencils. I love your approach and am very blessed to have found art journaling. The Lord is so amazing to show us this way to fellowship with Him.
Feb 23, 2016 @ 12:01 am
Thanks for joining me! Thanks for your feedback. God is so good.
Feb 21, 2016 @ 2:14 am
You have been such an inspiration to me in my bible are journaling. So much so that I am leading a class at my church on a weekly basis and we watch one of your weekly challenge videos each time we meet. This has allowed me to offer a class at no cost exempt for some basic supplies. That is such a blessing to several of the participants. So thank you so much for the hours of work you have put into these videos, they are blessing MANY people.
Wow, so many wonderful supplies. I can’t wait to see how you use the beautiful printed vellum, the brush markers by Zig, and more ways to use the acrylic paints. Again Thank you for sharing you talent and love for God!
Feb 23, 2016 @ 12:08 am
That is wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Say hello from me to your class! And thanks for your thoughts on supplies. Much love! x
Feb 21, 2016 @ 2:19 am
I forgot to add that I just baught some of the foil on clearance and I would love to see some ways to use it.
Feb 21, 2016 @ 2:43 am
I am new to all of this and have only finished my first 3 bible journal entries this weekend! I love how they turned out but I am nervous about trying the gesso or acrylics on my pages. So i will be watching lots of your videos to not only get inspired but to find out how to use things properly! It would be awesome to win some goodies from you!
Feb 23, 2016 @ 12:09 am
I’m am positive you’ll get the hang of it and fall more in love. 🙂
Feb 21, 2016 @ 6:36 am
What a great video………it was long but I could have watched even more! I do have some of the things that you showed, but haven’t used some of them due to health reasons that have lasted for a year and a half already. I don’t have a Bible with room to put decorative things in, so I would like to see the faith based stamps etc used in/on a card and a journal, so when the doctors come up with some answers for me and, LORD willing, get back to feeling well I will have something I can focus on.
And, (hope this OK to say here) would you please say a prayer for me…….that I will get better and not have to continue having test after test and still get no answers……and that whatever is causing all these symptoms isn’t anything serious. Thank you and God bless…………..
Feb 21, 2016 @ 3:25 pm
Praying for God’s healing hand over you!!!!
Feb 23, 2016 @ 12:14 am
Hi Sharon! I’m not sure if know or not that I was bedridden for 2 1/2 years before being dramatically healed overnight. If you’ve not yet seen my posts regarding that, I’ve got a tag that has collected them. Here is a link for you if it would encourage you in your journey. If you read them from oldest to newest (bottom to top of the collection), you’ll get to follow the journey of my talking about it all. God is not done with you yet and you’ve got an amazing future ahead of you. https://rebekahrjones.com/tag/healing/
Feb 21, 2016 @ 9:59 am
Wow Rebekah. Good bargains. I loved seeing stuff that I have already and anticipating using them in my Bible. I really could do with some faith-based stamps etc. However I know that I can produce something similar with the stuff I already have.
Feb 23, 2016 @ 12:17 am
it’s true that it is good to use what we have when we can, but nice to treat ourselves now and then with stuff. If you do, I’d recommend things which can be super versatile like alpha stamps, rather than faith based, if on a budget. Really makes them stretch for more uses. 🙂
Feb 21, 2016 @ 3:23 pm
Thank you for the video!! I got lots of new ideas!! In the pen section you talked about the sharpies bleeding through… I have used the sharpie PENS in my bible for years!! They are wonderful for lining scripture and a decent alternative for the micron pens….and they don’t bleed through bible pages!!!
Feb 23, 2016 @ 12:19 am
I am guessing I just got a very juicing batch of pens then because they bled through a couple of pages deep in a major hurry. I have a couple of older ones which don’t bleed like you’re talking about. If you’ve been using yours for years, they are probably perfect being more dried out and less juicy. 🙂
Feb 22, 2016 @ 4:49 pm
Wowzers! That was a huge haul! Loved all of the items that you mentioned. I would like a closer look at the Artist’s Journal book. I used to have that Speedball book and just re-ordered it:) Can’t wait to see what you create with everything!
Feb 23, 2016 @ 12:24 am
I’m not sure if I’m allowed to properly show you through the inside because of copyright but I can say that it is sitting on my desk being loved a lot. Beautiful book full of ideas!
Feb 22, 2016 @ 8:33 pm
Thank you for making this! I also am so glad you put the links! so helpful! amazing where God has brought you and how beautiful to see you able to explore so many art supplies and enjoy life in creativity!! xo!
Feb 23, 2016 @ 12:25 am
Thanks Gwen. Love you! x
Feb 23, 2016 @ 6:44 pm
Hi! I love all the art you do! I have been wanting to get start it with Bible journaling. I have plenty of stamps, water base ink, oils, embossings, and cut dies. I just recently bought the clear gesso, heavy body acrylics, and the prisma color!! (I’m waiting to arrived in the mail) I’m still struggleing with the page prep. I’m afraid that the pages are going to be to stiff. I applied some of the clear gesso on a test sheet, but it seams to bee to stiff. Can you tell me if this is the normal texture after applying the clear gesso? Or what should I do to make this better. The brand I’m using is the Ranger-Dina Wakley. Thank you for all the ideas you provide through your ministry.
Feb 24, 2016 @ 2:31 pm
How exciting. Good wishes for your new endeavors. I taught beauty school for six years. The introductory eight weeks really took its toll on my throat. I recognize the sound. May I suggest Throat Coat tea? It is made by Traditional Medicinals. You can get a six pack for about 22 dollars on amazon. Helped me so much during those periods of heavy talking.
Feb 26, 2016 @ 4:09 pm
Hi, Rebekah. I love all your videos. Your haul was awesome and you have now enabled me to buy some new things for my Bible journaling endeavors. On the Little B tape that you noted does not stick very well, burnish it. Burnish it really well with a bone folder. It sticks fantastically when you burnish it. I cannot take credit for this idea, and I could not find the person that posted it. But it was on a Facebook group. Thanks for all you do!
Feb 26, 2016 @ 8:56 pm
Thank you Rebekah for introducing this form of studying the Bible for me and many other want-a-be crafty people. As my husband and I read through the Bible during this new year, I visualize ways to show what the scripture or story says to me. Thank you for this new way of making me “sit down” in my house and relax and “do my thing”. I’m glad you are feeling better as Spring is finally beginning to make it’s appearance!
Feb 28, 2016 @ 12:10 am
Rebekah,
I love all the stamps you have collected! I was wondering how you store them…do you use notebook with clear sleeves or something else?
Apr 4, 2017 @ 8:47 am
Rebekah,
I signed up for your Bible Journaling class on scrapbook.com a few months ago but haven’t taken it yet, then a few weeks ago a friend I met online sent me a video of you coloring on vellum and I’ve been stuck on your videos ever since! I’m at that point in my Bible where I feel like I need all of my supplies before I get started and now that I saw all of your supplies I’m thinking, oh no! I need this, I need that. I signed up for this study to get closer to God and I’m praying it helps me understand how women can start their journaling with only a pen. Because I’m blessed to have a nice amount of things and I shouldn’t be afraid to dive in, but I am. I wanted to ask you, I saw in one video where you used cheaper watercolors and said you could use a spray to keep it from rubbing off on the other page. What was the name of that spray? I want you to know that I really appreciate you and feel blessed to have someone as sweet and loving as you in the Bible Journaling world to help us along. God Bless You and thank you for your service!
Erin ?❤?
