We all have certain techniques and supplies that we use for our everyday crafting. Some of these supplies are absolutely essential {for you} in order to craft. These supplies are like your favorite pair of jeans or favorite old sneakers. Today I am going to share with you the supplies that are essential in my craft room - without them I would be lost. {Click on any of the images below to see a larger version and product number.}
The Bone Folder is key to having perfectly scored lines and having a crisp and flat fold to your cards.
There are many varieties of popdots or dimensionals in the market today. I've tried a number of them and once I used Stampin' Up!s Stampin' Dimensionals I never looked back. They are the perfect tool to give your project a 3-D look.
Dotto adhesive is perfect to give your project just a little "hold" while you are working with it. It is not the adhesive to use when you are finalizing your project - but it is a great tool to use if you are unsure where to put that piece of paper on your project.
I LOVE this Grid Paper. It is a very simple tool but it helps so much with being able to line up projects, make a mess on instead of the table, and to jot down notes.
Stampin' Up!'s Paper Snips are heavenly. They cut paper perfectly and are tiny enough to cut out detail.
Stampin' Scrub works perfectly for cleaning your wood / clear - mount stamps.
Without this handy-dandy tool I would not be able to complete a single project. I have a horrible eye and cannot line things up to save my life. This tool helps me to stamp any project with precision.
If you do not have any of these tools in your craft room and find yourself struggling to stamp an image straight, clean your stamps or cut paper (like butta) then I would recommend you add some of these items to your next Stampin' Up! order.
