Favorite Tools
These are the tools I use most often and could not do without!

Silicone Mats
Premium Thick Silicone Mat: 1mm thick silicone mat, made of high quality silicone, thick, flexible, tearing-resistant, not easy to rip or fade, durable & long-lasting. Also heat-resistant, well protect your craft table. Both sides with strong friction, won’t slip and curl up, the objects on it won’t move on their own. Nonstick & Cleaned Easily: Resin, glue, paint won’t stick to the mat, and can be easily peeled off after cured. Other residue like paper crap, glitter, alcohol ink etc can be easily shaken off, rinsed off, or cleaned off with warm soapy water.
Multi Angle Miter Sheer
This tool is perfect for cutting wood strips, popsicle sticks and other smaller pieces of trim. From straight cuts to a variety of angle cuts, the tool is super easy to use!


Easy Read Ruler
The perfect stainless steel, cork backed ruler with vivid white 1/4″, 1/8″ and 1/16″ increments on the SAE side, millimeter markings on the metric side. 12″ long. I love this ruler and use it constantly!

A word about Cardstock . . .
I use several types of cardstock in my crafts, but in the last few years, I’ve stuck with AC Cardstock from the 12×12 Cardstock shop. I’m an affiliate with them and do earn a small fee each time my link is used and you make a purchase. This is at no extra cost to the buyer, and it helps support this blog in purchasing supplies to offer more projects.
NOTE: I occasionally purchase black and white AC Cardstock from Amazon (see image link down the page) in bulk packages.
- My Colors Heavyweight 100 Cardstock – Embosses and cuts like a dream! (Cricut users: use the Kraft Board setting to cut this)
- AC Cardstock – I’ve begun to use this almost exclusively and get mine from the 12×12 Cardstock Shop
- AC Cardstock White – bulk 60-sheet package from Amazon
- AC Cardstock Black – bulk 60-sheet package from Amazon
