Happy Friday everyone!
Today I'm sharing a round up of five products that paper crafting (and life) easier! If someone asked me for a list of must-have tools, these would all be on it. These are my absolute go to tools and no doubt these are some of yours too!
1. Stampin' Trimmer - not just great for cutting card stock and designer series paper for cards and scrapbooking, it is fabulous for school projects and coupon cutting too! Honestly, I have never scored my cards as much as I have since the new trimmer came out -- it is wonderful to have both scoring and cutting blades on the trimmer at all times no matter what size paper is being cut!
2. Paper Snips - these little work horses are very sharp (always be sure to put the protective cap on when not in use) and have the ability to get into the tiniest of spaces! They are also just the right tool for lifting Rhinestone Jewels and Pearls off the adhesive sheets and placing the bling onto projects.
3. The Big Shot - as a mom of little ones, I use my Big Shot all the time...not just for my paper crafting but also to keep my little crafters busy. The Big Shot allows me to cut a whole lot of shapes that can be collaged by my daughters. I don't necessarily do all the cutting as my oldest loves to turn the handle on the Big Shot! The Big Shot also makes creating home decor, party favors, and little gift holders an absolute breeze.
4. Simply Scored Scoring Tool - how did we live without it?! Just what you need for creating square envelopes --- you need the diagonal plate to do and and I think that addition to the tool is a must have! And I absolutely love it for making my boxes!
5. Tabletop Paper Cutter - for anyone who makes up cards or other projects in batches, this is a fantastic tool. As a demonstrator, it makes prep for classes so much quicker because I can easily cut through multiple sheets of card stock! Also, if you (like me) forget to have an extra set of trimmer cutting blades on hand, this self-sharpening tool is perfect to have on hand for when you are waiting for new trimmer blades to arrive.
Which of these tools is a 'must-have' in your book? Please do tell!
