What supplies or tools can you not scrap without? Which supplies give you the biggest bang for the buck and have earned the right of a permanent position on your scrap desk. I use some of my punches all the time. Love, love, love my tab punch. I also use my heart and star punches quite frequently. I'm not a big stamper, but have found that I really do use my AE stamps.
Consumable supplies that I think I get good value from include mini letter stickers, enamel dots, and good old black, white and kraft cardstock.
What are your must-haves when you sit down to scrap? |

Thickers and mini letter stickers get used on every single project.
I'm couldn't scrap without my paper trimmer, Tim Holtz scissors, and ATG gun.
I'm also very fond of my Hiedi Swapp paper distresser and my Tonic fabric unraveler tool (I wonder what that thing is actually called, lol).
ETA: apparently its official name is the Retractable Craft Scratcher

I always have my Tim holtz ruler at my side, as well as a pair of tiny spring action scissors that are amazing for fussy cutting...I never craft without them..oh, and score tape...LOVE my scoretape!

Assuming that trimmers & adhesives don't count, I'd have to say I couldn't live w/out my tweezers (both the ones that I have to pinch & the ones that stay pinched), my knock off of the Quickstick & my brad setting tool. And I love my TH distressing tool, but I always forget to use it!

My Cricut and SCAL get used every.single.day for something. I couldn't live without it. When it dies there will be no way to replace it and I'll probably go with the Silhouette.
Cardstock is my other standby. I started scrapping before there were many patterned papers and I've just stuck with cardstock backgrounds.

My ATG
Tim Holtz ink tool (love the new round one)
Pattern paper. Unless it is kraft, I only use my card stock for cards and accents.
Punches, dies and Cameo.
Everything else depends on the LO or card.

Cameo and punches. I have an Explore but haven't tried it out yet. New stuff can be so frustrating that I just let it sit under its pretty cover. Need to get on that.

Let's see, I'm sitting at my desk and the things I can't live without would be: my BG magnetic mat, trimmer, Ott light, adhesive. Neutral CS, tab punch, date stamp, black versafine, cutterbee scissors and journaling pen, a pencil, ruler and thickers/letter stickers. I could technically scrap without PP, I would rather have some! These days I also use dots/gems/wood veneer. I also need my stamps! While I can make embellishments, I would prefer some chip board and die cuts to choose from. I also like twine and ric rac on my pages. Oh, and some foam dots and tags. Not asking for much haha!

I love my Xyron 150. I also consistently use SCAL, inks, mini alpha stickers, cricut cartridges, scrap cardstock, and scrap patterned paper the most. More recently I've been using cardstock stickers and I think they are being added to my staple list.
EDIT: Forgot about the ATG

Hi! You mentioned a software you use with your MAC (My Digital ScrapRoom Software). Would you mind telling me a bit more about it? I recently move to MAC and I am not very familiarized with its app. I also looking to add some new software too. Thanks!! Enviado do meu iPhone usando Tapatalk |

Enviado do meu iPhone usando Tapatalk I just heard about it myself from one of the refupeas on the Digital Scrapbooking board. I did a search, found the website and watched a bunch of youtube videos on how to use it. It looked pretty good, so I went ahead and bought it. It was created by a scrapbooker who wanted something to to make storing and organizing photos and digital files easier and allow the creation of digital scrapbook pages. Here is a link to My Digital ScrapRoom, if you want to check it out. There is a new updated version that is supposed to come out in September. I just got it yesterday and so far, I like it. Here is a link to the youtube videos LINK |
