Fresh Cuts Set & My Essential Tool Kit

Here's the set I made, each one a little different.

I'm often asked what my essential cardmaking equipment is. While I love lots of things (punches and ribbon would be hard to live without!), these are the things I use on every single card I make:
  • Paper Trimmer (with inches and cm)
  • Adhesives (snail, 2-way glue, dimensionals)
  • Bone Folder (for crisp folds)
  • Paper snips (good scissors are essential!)
  • Sanding Blocks (gets rid of rough edges)
  • Stampin' Scrub and Mist (the easiest and best way to clean stamps)
  • Stamp-a-ma-jig (to get images and words in the right place, first time!)

I really think I couldn't make a card without these items! What is in YOUR essential tool kit?

  1. Lovely cards Marelle!

    Two things I would add as 'essential tools' for me are my steel ruler and craft knife.
