1. Mini Trimmer
Ideal for trimming small papers and photos, I carry mine everywhere in my crafting bag
2. Large trimmer and score board
12”x12” is best. This is my favourite; it folds out to a full 12” with a built-in scoring tool.
For quickness and less mess these are brilliant!. Look for photo safe if you are a scrapbooking, I recommend the Scrapbook Adhesives E-Z runners, they are ISO certified for photo safety.
4. Zig two way glue
I simply can’t do without this. Sticks permanent while wet, or leave both surfaces to dry before joining for a post-it-note style stickiness. I use the small one for embellishments and the large chisel tip version for re-glueing my cutting mats for my die cut machine.

I have a number of different sizes for different jobs, and NEVER use my fabric scissors for paper!
6. Circle and oval cutters
I love my circle and oval cutting sets, and use them all the time, for cardmaking and cutting photos for my albums.
7. Cardstock in a range of basic colours
Because we all want a range of colours to choose from right now, while we are in the throes of creatingright? These are my go-to pads to keep I my craft bag.
