My Top Ten Favorite Papercrafting Tools! What's yours?

Tonight I want to share with you my top ten tools for papercrafting. I would love it if others would do this, too!!  Maybe we can all learn about some cool new things that make crafting easier.

1.Cricut Paper Trimmer..love this thing. I can't cut straight to save my life so this is a must for me!

2.Scotch ATG -it's big so you don't lose it. The tape lasts a long time. It is super sticky and works great!!  Love this thing!


3.Cricut Expression..you can make pretty much anything with a cartridge! I like that you can cut large objects with the 12x24 mat.

4.Cutterbee Scissors~You can get in tiny spots and corners with these babies!! I love to use them to cut flowers/images from patterned papers! A gotta have!

5.Cuttlebug Embosser/Diecutter-I use this mostly for embossing..embossed papers look great on cards and other projects.

6.We R Memory Keepers Cutting Mat..This is a great cutting mat and work surface. It's magnetic and comes with magnets to hold what you are working on in place. Also comes with magnetic ruler. P.S I'm working on a mini album. :)
 7. We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper/Rounder..Make pictures look more professional. Love to use it on card corners and much more!
8. We R Memory Keepers Cropadile Big Bite 2..Works  great to make holes and to set eyelets.

9. Fiskars Threading Water Border Punch..It makes a scalloped border with a little hole in each scallop..I love this thing! I use it on everything!

10. Cricut Imagine..Love this for printing images and patterned papers. If you need a certain pattern or colored paper and don't have it, (or you can't find it like me! lol) you can print some up in a couple of minutes. LOVE it!
So that's it..those are my favorites. Please leave me a comment or post your favorites! Thank you for stopping by! Have a great night. :)

 Hugs,

    1. Maggi, What kind of scissors do you have? I hear those Tim Holtz ones are good but I haven't tried them. Thanks for commenting on my post! Love it when you visit! :)

  3. I think I need to look into the Scotch ATG. I've been using Elmer's Dot Runners because they're pretty cheap, but they are constantly getting messed up AND I'm ALWAYS losing them!

    1. Hi Nicole, Thanks for coming by and commenting! I haven't tried the elmer's dot runners but I have tried alot of glues and had problems! The atg is awesome!! The tape lasts a long time..I use a coupon. (or I know a girl that sells them cheap) Plus you won't lose it and it's cute cuz it's pink! lol
