Back to Basics Top 10 Tools

[@BarbGhig]

Lots of great tools, Therese! I also finally 'bit the bullet' a while back and bought the teflon bone folder...don't know how I lived without it now :)

This is great! I want to get into card making and wasn't sure what to get.

Hi Therese, Thank you your advice is very much appreciated. Luv from the UK

You are welcome Lynne!

If I were a beginner, this is exactly the list I'd follow, Therese... now, about that bone folder - I've worn out the small one that came with my full-size Martha Score Board... could I, or would I want to, use this in its place? At the high cost, I'm afraid I'd damage it. Thanks, Therese!! =] Michele

@icardeveryone01 I understand your hesitation due to the financial outlay. Honestly it is the best bone folder I've ever used. I do make sure I put it away in the same place every time and no one shares my craft space. I hope you will give it a go. 🌷🇨🇦🌷

Thanks for all the great tips Therese, a random question but what is the grid lined mat you use, it looks so nice in all your videos.

[@lostinpaper]

Thanks so much for your comment. Would you believe that I actually went looking for a 'black' mat and this is what I came home with, I agree, the colour is so nice. It's made by American Crafts and is 23" X 17" and the reverse side is the same colour but the grid lines are white. It does mark a little, but cleans up alright too. Hope this is helpful, have a great weekend, Therese

lostinpaper thanks so much for your quick reply, my mat is from a cheap shop and I have had it for years, and had a very hard life, very marked and stained, time to upgrade I think.

Therese I have the Fiskers trimmer and would not be without it. I am interested in the other trimmer you use. What one is that? You said the blade does not need replacing so I assume it is a guillotine? I have one but it is not very good. Gloria x

I still have my stampamagig. It is likely the oldest tool I own from about 2004 or so. Every tool you suggested is great. I do not have the scoring board tool. I use either my paper cutter scoring blade or simply fold and use my bone folder tool. I used to have plastic, lost it and bought the teflon one and even though I found the plastic one, I never use it. 🥰🇨🇦🥰

[@lostinpaper]

The teflon bone folder is definitely a game changer and the score board is not essential but I do use it to create patterns as well which can add some fun designs (the larger ones can be used to make envelopes but that is something I do not have the energy for lol.). Hugs Tx

@@lostinpaper I would love to see what you can do with the score board for design work. Will you be able to do a video on that topic? 💖🇨🇦💖
