Frequently Asked Questions
  • What are the essential paper craft tools for a beginner?

    For anyone just starting out, we recommend a few key tools: a paper trimmer for straight cuts, a good pair of craft scissors for detailed work, a bone folder for creating crisp folds, and a reliable adhesive like double-sided tape or liquid glue.

  • What is a bone folder used for?

    A bone folder is a versatile tool used to create clean, sharp folds on cardstock. By pressing down along a fold line, it helps to flatten the paper fibers, preventing the card from cracking and giving your finished project a professional, polished look. It can also be used for scoring and creasing.

  • What is the difference between a paper trimmer and a pair of scissors?

    A paper trimmer is specifically designed to make perfectly straight and precise cuts on paper and cardstock, which is essential for card bases and layered backgrounds. Scissors are best for cutting out more intricate, freehand shapes and curves that a trimmer cannot handle.

  • How do I choose the right adhesive for my project?

    The best adhesive depends on your project. Liquid glues are flexible but require time to dry. Double-sided tape and glue rollers offer a quick and clean bond, ideal for layered projects. For a more dimensional effect, foam pads or dots are perfect for lifting elements off the page.

  • What is a scoring board and why would I need one?

    A scoring board is a tool with grooves and a scoring stylus that helps you create perfect fold lines on cardstock. It makes folding thicker papers much easier and more accurate than simply folding by hand, ensuring that your handmade cards have a professional, neat finish every time.
