PAPER TRIMMERS
A paper trimmer is a must for card making and scrapbooking.
It keeps your edges straight and square and makes cutting so much faster.
CIRCLE PUNCHES
I have a small collection of circle punches that I use often.
I would recommend getting a variety of sizes of circle punches.
Theyre great for layering papers for tags and other embellishments on cards.
STAPLERS
Every paper crafter needs a stapler, and I love this little stapler by American Crafts.
I usually use it to attach small tags or other ephemera to gifts bags and cards.
The size adds a special touch to every project.
What you want is something lightweight but strong enough to hold paper together.
An adhesive runner, like American Crafts This to That, does the trick.
Before trying this tool, know that its not strong enough to hold everything.
I dont use it for gluing on thick embellishments like chipboard or holding together any 3D projects like boxes.
SCISSORS
Scissors are useful when cutting templates into smaller pieces.
Scissors are also easier to use to cut out round objects, which is sometimes difficult with a knife.
ENVELOPES
Most of the cards use A6 envelopes.
These envelopes are 4 3/4 x 6 1/2.
