New stampers and crafters frequently ask what are the basic tools to own or have access to. Here's one blogger's idea of basic tools for card making:
- "Scoreboard
- Paper Trimmer
- Scissors (all purpose)
- Water Mister
- Clips (binder, spring and plastic)
- Heat Gun
- Non-Stick Craft Mat
- Baby Wipes and Paper Towels
- Ruler
- Paper Piercer
- X-Acto Knife (aka craft knife)
- Tweezers
- Glue (wet, dry and special)
- Stamping Blocks
- Corner Rounder
- Embossing Powders & Pad
- Die Cutting Machine
- Magnetic Plate for Wafer Thin Dies
- Spellbinders' All-in-One Tool"
A couple more items came to mind as I read through that list . . .
- Stamp Cleaner
- Bone Folder
- Pen/Pencil & Small Notepad (for unexpected ideas, information, notes, et al.)
- Removable Tape
- Stamp Ink Pads
- VersaMark watermark ink pad
- Detail Cutting Scissors
What tools are a 'must-have' for you? Let's share the ideas!
Don't forget! This Saturday (January 3), Art 'n Soul re-opens from the holiday break. We've missed all of you at the store and can't wait to see you in the new year.
