I have a very generous husband. Every November I leave a wish list on my craft room door and every December everything on my list appears under our Christmas tree. Santa is ALWAYS very good to me. Consequently, I have oodles of tools. I could spend all day here just telling you what they are. And since I dabble in other things besides papercrafting, I have tools for those hobbies, too. Yet, with all those fun things to play with, I have certain 'go to' tools that I use consistently. One used to be my Cuttlebug which has been replaced by the Grand Calibur. I can cut and emboss as many dies as will fit on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper at one time. If you have lots of 'flat' dies, the Grand Calibur might be just what you need; their new Grand Nestabilities Rock. The new ScorPal sits behind me all the time. I use it with every card I make. I've just started making my own envelopes and this is a terrific tool for that. This sweet little matchbox was scored with the ScorPal, assembled, and edges inked. Then I created an Easel Card which I glued to the top. The box measures 3.0" x 5.0". The paper on the top of the card was cut using a Grand Nestability Label 4, the sentiment was cut using the smaller Label 4 Nestabilities. The flourish on the matchbox was cut on my Cricut using an SVG file I found on the internet.
