Below are tools/materials I use all the time. I keep them super handy on my work station.
Stamps/Stamping Platform/Blocks: Clear cling stamps are going to be the most space efficient for you. I buy lots of clear stamps and metal dies on ebay to save money but the quality is not nearly as good as US-made brands. If you have wood mounted stamps you can unmount them for use with the stamp platform and for easier storage. There are tutorials online. I second and third other people's recommendations of the Tim Holtz stamp platform. I use it ALL the time. You can get placement perfect for stamps but I also love it because you can reink and stamp a couple times to get a more even and inked impression. Like /u/erwtje-be said, you can put a piece of craft foam on the platform and sometimes that helps get better impressions. I get the thinner craft foam at dollar tree and also use it to raise larger sections of the card up for some dimension. For the thicker craft foam go to Michael's or another craft store. I do use acrylic blocks from time to time too. I find the round/scalloped edge type are the ones I grab most often.
Inks: My two most used inks are VersaMark and VersaFine. I use VersaMark for most of my embossing but there are awesome other techniques you can use it with too. VersaFine gets the best edges and details IMO for all regular stamping. I highly recommend the full size. Don't bother with the itty bitty baby cubes. The great thing about both of these is they can be reinked.
Embossing Powder Tool: You use this to remove static from your paper before stamping embossing ink and applying powder so the powder only sticks to your sentiment and not to finger prints or other parts of the paper. You can make your own (tutorial) buy one like this or this. I have all three but use my home made one (6 years ago) the most often. I second /u/sm9406's powder list and point that it elevates the look and feel of your cards exponentially. You can do everything with black, white, clear, silver, and gold. Use the antistatic tool on the paper that catches your embossing powder to get as much of it back in the container as possible.
Scissors/Tape/Glue: I use my Tim Holtz non-stick serrated scissors everyday. They are for cutting adhesive tapes/double stick foam. They are great if you buy tape on rolls, not necessary if you use the plastic applicator double stick stuff. I find that much less versatile than buying rolls of double stick tape and foam tape. I personally buy mine from DAISO but you may not have that store where you are. They have all different widths and I find the quality cannot be beat for $1.50 a roll. Scor Tape is also excellent though it is much more expensive. My favorite glue is the ZIG two way glue pen. When it's blue and wet it is permanent or if you let it dry clear it can be used to temporarily bond things.
Tweezers: I never bothered to get tiny craft tweezers for a looong time and now I realize how much time and headache could been avoided if I'd only known how much I would use them. To remove double stick tape backing, to position small glued elements, to pick up and place tiny embellishments, etc. These are by far the best tweezers I've bought. I tried some knock off alternatives but they honestly don't even come close. If you're going to get tweezers, I highly suggest these by EK Tools.
Ruler/Layer Tool: I'm absolutely obsessed with this tool. If you like the clean look of layered/matted paper on your cards it is a must. It will look perfect every time. You use this with an Xacto or other craft knife. You will want a self healing mat or a tempered glass cutting surface. I prefer the glass mat over the self healing because you can glue on it and ink on it and then scrape or wash it off. That link is to the one I have, it is a bit large. I know they make smaller ones though. My favorite ruler is by Tim Holtz It has the metal edge so you can run your craft knife against it. I cut things by hand with the ruler and layer tools much more often than with the paper cutter.
ScorBuddy: Like /u/Mystery_Substance suggested, the ScorPal is awesome. They make a mini version called the ScorBuddy and I use that 99% of the time over my larger one. The big one is mostly useful if you're going to make your own envelopes which I don't really do.
I love pop up cards!!! My kids' school has a message center for parents, and I make them for my kids. I've done a tutorial for the other parents in the school. I'll post my booklet, plus a couple of mine. I highly recommend this book as a resource. It includes all of the base pop up forms you could imagine, plus sliders, spinners, etc. There are examples of each, so you can actually examine the workings. If you have an analytical mind (I'm a scientist), it is really helpful.
This one is also wordy.
STAMPENDOUS SSC1141 Perfectly Clear Stamp, Friendly Phrases Image https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007XCE1Y4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_VzpzCbGMGHTDY
I just got a Brother ScanNCut CM 350 for Mother's Day. It almost eliminates the need to buy die-cuts. You can accomplish the same thing with a Cricut, but it involves scanning on a scanner, uploading the image, etc. It seemed like quite a few steps to me. (I don't own a Cricut, so this is my first cutting machine.)
I chose the ScanNCut over the Cricut because the machine has a built-in scanner. You scan your stamped image and with a couple of easy steps, the machine cuts out your stamped image. It's pretty slick. Watch a few videos to see what you think.
Here's an example video She shows how the machine cuts images she has already stamped and colored.
Edit: to link to video.
Thank you so much. I'll poke around to see if it's good for printmaking techniques! Here's what I found: https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Crest-Cover-Solar-White/dp/B000JFDE5Y
If you have a cricut or silouhette machine, you can get letter sized adhesive sheets from silouhette and cut out shapes. I've used it for glitter unicorn horns and script successfully. The results are really clean.
