There are several that I can't live without: craft pick, T-square ruler & detail scissors. I find the thin stamp blocks difficult to use. To get a good impression with the thick blocks I use a mouse pad, the thicker squishy type, underneath my paper.
@EnlightenedFlamingo5 жыл бұрын
Wow, thanks for the mouse pad tip! I'm gonna have to try that!

Yes! A mouse pad or foam works great for stamping... great tip CouzCat!

Simon you are such a knowledgeable young man, you rock! Thanks for sharing that, I’ve been crafting for a few years and still learned something new. My favourite tool would be my stamp pads, you can do so much more with them than just stamping. Keep up the the good work and I will see you next video 👍

Love your recommendations (totally agree with the ones that I have, and a few products to look into the next time I go craft shopping), thank you for sharing them. I might need to look into getting the bigger shears one of these days. Can't agree more with the trimmers! I have a few trimmers but use my Tonic ones the most. I have a bunch of blending tool foams that I have in the back of the distress ink cubes. Need to practice more with them more and maybe look into getting some of the blending brushes. Though that won't be for a while since I'm still in the research phase.

I know you didn't spend too much time on embossing in this vid but a must for me is the pre-embossing powder. Oy! what a mess without it. Keep up the good work. You are a joy to watch & very inspirational.

what kind of pads do crafters use to create hieght on a card. for example adding an image not directly to the card but like a mini round, square or cut in half "blob" and then the little image is raised as in a 3D effect...I jut don't know what to call that. TY
