5 Crafting Essentials

Hello, today im sharing with you 5 crafty essential tools i use when making a card.

1.) STAMPING TOOL

I could not be without my mini misti, it gives such precise stamping. The best tool for card making. Fits perfectly on my desk without taking up lots of room. 

2.) INK

This is the ink i use to stamp out all my images and it is copic friendly.

3.) PAPER.

For me personally this is the best paper for copic colouring. I have tried neenah solar white 80lb and Xpress it copic paper and they just weren't for me. I got the best blends personally using this paper.

4.) Die cutting Machine. 

This was the first die cutting machine i purchased 4 years ago,and I've never had any trouble. There is more designs on the market now from big shot plus to big shot foldaway.

5.) STAMP SHAMMY. 

I feel a stamp shammy is definitely essential, stamps are expensive so you have to look after them. You just have to wet the shammy with water and after inking your stamps you wipe them clean and store them away again.

5.)PAPER TRIMMER.

This is the paper trimmer i use.

 Before this trimmer i used the tonic studios super trimmer. It was great at the start but i felt the blades didnt stay sharp long enough and it was not cutting straight anymore. I still keep it in my stash for larger pieces of paper, but i dont use it often because of the blade situation.

These are my 5 essential tools i use everytime i go to make a card. They personally work the best for me. I always read reviews and watch youtube reviews before i make most purchases, and these 5 do not disappoint.
