At fi rst, the idea of reading an entire article

about scrapbooking tools might sound as

much fun as browsing a catalog full of

hammers and drill bits. Think again!

Today’s crafting tools are colorful,

versatile, and often worth their weight

in gold-toned embellishments. From

ATG adhesive guns to Zig pens,

having the right tool for the job

can mean the difference between

creative happiness and misery.

But with all the hardware options

available, how do you know where

to spend your money? We asked our

readers to share the one tool they’d

take along to the proverbial desert

island (equipped, of course, with a

thatched-roof scrapbooking hut) and

to explain how this indispensable implement

makes their layouts shine. Read on to see their

choices. Maybe you’ll discover a new can’t-live-

without-it tool of your own!

Trusty tools are dependable.I’m an impatient scrapper. The last thing I want is

to waste my precious scrapping time fi ddling with

fussy products or temperamental tools. So when it

comes to placing brads, setting eyelets, or poking

holes for hand stitching, I reach for my trusty paper

piercer and foam mat. I can place holes anywhere on

my page quickly and precisely. No, it’s not fancy, but

who wants fancy? I want reliable!

Trusty tools are thrifty.Smart shoppers know the initial purchase price

doesn’t always tell the whole story. Celeste swears

by her ATG adhesive gun, originally created for

the picture framing market and readily embraced

by scrapbookers everywhere. Despite its bulky

size (and comparatively bulky price tag), the ATG

gun is a lesson in volume discount. “I use the gun

on all my pages,” Celeste says. “It provides a great

sticky bead of adhesive, and the cost of the rolls

of adhesive cannot be beat.”

Trusty tools are fun.Forget plain-Jane grey and boring beige! Today’s

scrapbooking tools run the gamut from cute to

downright adorable! The Bo-Bunny fl ex ruler is a

great example of how you don’t have to sacrifi ce

function for style. If its bubblegum pink color

doesn’t immediately tickle your fancy, its ability

to easily create spirals, curves, and waves will

have you saying, “You had me at ‘Nemo.’ ”

Trusty tools are timeless.Remember those Jackie O. glasses your mom tossed a

few decades ago? And the perfectly broken-in Levis you

wish you’d kept from your college days? Just as with all

things fashionable, scrapbooking trends come in and

out of favor. The good news is, if you keep something

around long enough, it’ll make its way back to the “latest

and greatest” list. Reyanna tries to fi nd a way to use her

Fiskars decorative-edge scissors on almost every layout.

Here she added a postage-stamp edge to her photo mat.

“A few years ago, when they were really ‘in,’ I didn’t use

them,” she admits. “Now, I can’t scrap without them!”

Trusty tools are basic.Like a little black dress, the most-used

item in a scrapper’s toolbox is often the

most basic. Sure, maybe your go-

with-anything circle punch isn’t

hip, but it sure is useful! “My

2-inch Marvy Uchida circle

punch is something I

reach for over and over

again,” says Sonja. By

varying the paper and

the placement of your

circles, you can create an

endless variety of looks, making even

this old workhorse cutting-edge.

Trusty tools are versatile.Looking for a budget-conscious, creative

way to add titles and text to your pages?

Forget about saving your pennies for a

large-format printer, and take a tip from

Andrea: pull out your letter stamps!

More versatile than letter stickers and

rub-ons, stamps are portable and can go

anywhere on a page—in any size or color.

“I love that they are a cute alternative to

handwriting,” adds Andrea, who turns to

this handy little stamp set from EK Success

on layout after layout.

Trusty tools are trendy.The terms “trusty” and “trendy” may not always

go hand-in-hand, but they certainly do with this

adorable threading-water border punch from

Fiskars. Kristina is head-over-heels for this fresh

take on a classic motif. “It’s so fun to use!” she says.

“I’ve created multiple layouts with it. It’s a very

simple thing to do, and I think it adds lots of visual

interest to the layout.”

Trusty tools are sound investments.Everyone loves a bargain, but sometimes you have

to spend a little more money to get the functionality

you want. The key is to think of big purchases as

investments—ones that will pay off in the long run

as you turn to them time and time again. Tracey’s

Wishblade electronic die-cutting machine has

already earned back its purchase price. Tracey loves

the way she can cut just the letters she needs in the

fonts and sizes she desires. “It’s easy to fall in love

with a machine that is so simple to use,” she says.

CIRCLE CUTTERS


’Round and ’Round They GoHere are three more cutting systems to try!

Custom Cutting System

and Circle Patterns

creativememories.com

Creative Memories’ Custom Cutting

System includes a self-healing mat and

three ergonomically friendly blades that

cut shapes of varying sizes. When

combined with the Circle Patterns

templates (pictured above), the blades

can cut 18 different circle sizes.

Coluzzle Nested Circle,

Swivel Knife, and Cutting Mat

provocraft.com

Provo Craft’s Coluzzle cutting templates

provide multiple size options in very

little space. The Nested Circle includes

eight concentric outlines that make

cutting rings of varying widths a snap.

For best results, use with a Coluzzle

cutting mat and swivel knife.

Circle Scissor Plus

Cutting Tool

eksuccess.com

EK Success’s Circle Scissor Plus

includes a large circular base and

a swiveling cutting handle. The

central ruler allows for incremental

size adjustments between 1 and

6 inches. Note: This tool works best

when used on a glass mat.

try thisMAKE A FUN BACKDROP

Mix and match circles of several sizes to

create an exciting photo backdrop. Using her

Creative Memories circle cutter, Elizabeth

quickly cut out rings and circles in sizes

ranging from 1 to 6½ inches. She moved the

pieces around until she achieved the playful

look she was going for ; then she plopped her

photos on top. Sticking to her circular motif,

she added a few round phrase stickers, brads,

and buttons to complete her design.

4 FAST CROP-A-DILE SOLUTIONS

With its careful design, gotta-have features,

and noiseless functionality, the Crop-A-Dile is a

scrapbooking dynamo. Boost its performance with the

following tips:

Q For the smoothest operation, press on the tool’s

hump or directly behind the hump.

W If you need help reading the tool’s numbers and

letters, highlight them with a metallic leafing pen.

This worked wonders for a gal named Tina, who

shared her tip in an online forum.

E If you accidentally press too hard while dry

embossing a dot, repeat the process on another

piece of paper. Follow Diane Ouellette’s lead and

carefully glue the new dry-embossed piece in place

on the back of your page.

R The next time you need to punch several holes

in a row, move up the metal pieces below the 1⁄8"

and 3⁄16" dials. Rest your item on the lifted lever and

punch away.

The revolutionary Crop-A-Dile from We R Memory Keepers has made hole punching and eyelet setting a cinch for the busy scrapbooker. With this all-in-one tool, crafters can punch through materials thick and thin and effortlessly set eyelets, snaps, and other metal embellishments.

The following features also make this sanity-saver a scrapbooker’s best friend:

• Complete tasks quickly and quietly. Banging and pounding are now distant memories!

• Punch ⅛" and ⁄₁₆" holes and set ⅛" and ⁄₁₆" eyelets.

• Punch through paper, leather, plastic, metal, chipboard, acrylic, fabric, and wood.

• Space holes at consistent distances with the help of locking sliders on the punches.

• View punch position through a window in the hole-punch arm.

• Tote the compact tool to crops for on-the-go assistance.

Crop-A-Dile does it all . . . quietly

Since the Big Bite sets both eyelets and grommets, Autumn was able to combine these accents to create decorative fl owers for her page.

m a t e r i a l s Big Bite (We R Memory Keepers) • patterned paper (American Crafts) • eyelets (Provo Craft) • rub-ons (KaiserCraft) • decorative-edge scissors (Fiskars) • New Romantics and Optima fonts • 8½ x 11 page by Autumn Baldwin, Spanish Fork, UT

TIP: Pour a handful of eyelets and grommets onto your work table,

and have fun arranging and rearranging them into different shapes and

designs. Then set your favorites on your pages.

Big Bite We R Memory Keepers

Take a Bite Out of DesignDespite what the uninitiated may say, the Big Bite from We R Memory Keepers does so much more than just punch holes. Besides being able to chew through various surfaces (paper, chipboard, fabric, leather, thin metal), it also sets eyelets, snaps, and grommets with ease. But, as any 12 x 12 scrapbooking enthusiast will tell you, possibly its greatest feature is its ability to reach all the way to the center of a 12 x 12 page—not something you can do with just any hole punch. But don’t take my word for it. These three talented designers will show you just what this fantastic tool can do.

MFEA ND08 alt.indd .13 3/25/11 5:13:03 PM


With the Big Bite’s big reach, Kim was able to punch a series of holes around her photo. She then layered her page over white cardstock to make those holes and her picture pop.

m a t e r i a l s Big Bite (We R Memory Keepers) • journaling card, die-cut accent (My Mind’s Eye) • rub-ons, brad (KaiserCraft) • 8 x 8 page by Kim Morgan, Gilbert, AZ

TIP: Use the Big Bite to punch out a word or title

on your page; then layer it over a contrasting shade

of cardstock for added emphasis.

Celeste put her Big Bite to work punching holes and setting eyelets. She then threaded festive holiday ribbon through those eyelets to create a playful laced look on her page.

TIP: Try this technique with grommets and wider

ribbon for a more overstated outcome.



With the hands-on control paint dabbers offer, Tina was able to brush a one-of-a-kind frame onto her layout in seconds, using a color that complements the cute photo. And best of all, there was no mess to clean up!

m a t e r i a l s acrylic paint (Ranger) • letter stickers (American Crafts) • label stickers, rub-on (7gypsies) • acrylic heart, label sticker (Heidi Swapp) • flower trim, flower brad (Making Memories) • journaling stamp (Autumn Leaves) • 8½ x 11 page by Tina Cockburn, San Diego, CA

TIP: The next time you find yourself reaching for a pen or marker to draw a

colorful frame or border, try a paint dabber instead. They’re simple to maneuver,

which makes drawing and doodling a breeze.

Adirondack Paint Dabbers Ranger

Dab Me HappyLeave your brushes in the drawer, and forget about any messy clean-up. Adirondack Paint Dabbers from Ranger offer the colorful benefi ts of painting without the hassle. As the name suggests, each paint bottle has a built-in applicator, allowing you to apply paint directly from the bottle to the page—which is exactly what the following three designers did to create these imaginative designs.



Nicole used paint dabbers in fi ve different ways on this fresh layout: to distress the edges of her photo and a clear acrylic heart, to add two-tone color to white vintage buttons, to colorize her journaling strips, to transform a plain white paper frill into a colorful border accent, and to ink the “faq” stamp that appears in the lower-right corner of her photo.

Wendy took her paint dabbing the extra mile. Not only did she create an adorable polka-dot background on her layout using various colorful hues, but she also painted the chipboard heart on her page.

m a t e r i a l s acrylic paint (Ranger) • patterned paper (My Mind’s Eye) • journaling rub-on (KaiserCraft) • letter stickers (Doodlebug) • chipboard heart • 12 x 12 page by Wendy Smedley, Centerville, UT

TIP: For ease of use, store your paint

dabbers upside down so that the paint is

ready and waiting at the top of the bottle

when it comes time to create.



To create the base for this adorable cupcake accent, Mi’Chelle ran her kraft-colored cardstock through a paper crimper to give it a realistic cupcake-liner look. She added the ric rac and “frosting” details last.

m a t e r i a l s paper crimper (Fiskars) • patterned papers (Scenic Route, Crate Paper) • letter stickers (Making Memories) • letter rub-ons (American Crafts) • chunky glitter (Michaels) • felt button • ric rac • machine stitching • 8½ x 11 page by Mi’Chelle Larsen, Bountiful, UT

TIP: Think of shapes that are naturally textured or wavy, and use a

paper crimper to replicate those looks. Think about water, potato

chips, window blinds, or even pickles.

Paper Crimper Fiskars

Crimp Your StyleWho knew a paper crimper had so much creative potential? Well, the three designers of these layouts certainly did. See how they’ve used the Paper Crimper from Fiskars to create decorative accents, add texture to die cuts, and mat a journaling block. What next? Crimped hair? (Note: Do not attempt to crimp your hair with this tool. Some may say that this hairstyle is coming back into fashion, but this is not the tool for the job!)



Give your journaling a decorative lift by matting it on a crimped piece of paper, as Deanna has on this example. For added interest, she brushed white paint around the edges of her wavy pink paper, emphasizing its texture.

m a t e r i a l s paper crimper (Fiskars) • patterned papers, rub-on (Fancy Pants) • chipboard letters (Scenic Route) • acrylic paint (Making Memories) • die-cutter (Provo Craft) • Quick Type II Mono font • 12 x 12 spread by Deanna Billings, Syracuse, UT

By crimping basic shapes (circles and a heart) die cut from patterned paper and cardstock, Tia created a whimsical winter wonderland, complete with an adorable pink bubble tree.

m a t e r i a l s paper crimper (Fiskars) • patterned papers (Scenic Route, Luxe Designs, Making Memories, Chatterbox) • letter stickers (American Crafts) • ribbon (Autumn Leaves, unknown) • stamping ink • staples • 12 x 12 page by Tia Bennett, Puyallup, WA

TIP: When layering crimped shapes on top

of one another, it’s perfectly okay for the

crimped lines to run in slightly different

directions. It adds to the fun.

TIP: Use this crimped-mat technique

to pop up a focal-point photo, helping it

stand out from the background. This is a

fun way to use up cardstock scraps!
