Sorry guys but i seem to have a problem with the audio on this video :-( Think i need a new mic xx
Audio sounds fine to me on tv and tablet
@@Bezjc1936 oh, wonder if its me then x
Audio was fine for me, nice and clear x
I'm only on smartphone and there were times it was a little raspy like you were just too close to microphone. Nothing major or uncomfortable xx
Watching on tablet, sound fine thanks Ann.
I love when you laugh at things !
Hi Anne, I have learned that if you make a video it will be first class, informative, clear and full of useful information! This video is no different, full of honest, clear information to help us Crafters! You have been crafting for a very long time and have become in my eyes someone who gives us, clear, honest and useful tips and more information to help us get the most out of our craft stash so we don't waste any money or time! I have followed you for a long time and in my eyes, you are knowledgeable, give honest constructive criticism, and are a brilliant crafter, all rolled into one, and I am sure I am one amongst many subscribers and followers among many! Thank you so much Anne for what you do for us! Best wishes, from South Gloucester, U.K.
Thank you so much for that Jan!! Its made my day xxx
I agree with you that itâs worth investing in decent scissors - makes such a difference. Great video - thank you.
Thanks Ann for video. Few things gone on my get to buy list lol. Itâs great having someone recommend tools. xx
I agree good scissors are worth the money. Just get it the first time and be on with it. Corner rounder is yes and absolutely . They are awesome. I have three different rounders. I want to get the one like you have and dispatch the others I have.
Hi Ann, no problems hearing you. Woodware trimmers seem to be making a come-back ! Have long hoped to get one- I have now. Also some blades are available too. Great list of essentials, thankyou for taking the time to share them.
Great video. Thanks Ann â„ïž
Thank you so much Ann, I really really enjoyed you taking us all through those 21-items of canât do without craft tools. And I really really have to agree with you !!!!!!!!!!! Marvellous, items and basically what I would have said too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
This was very informative! I've been paper crafting for about 5 years, too. I've got some of the tools you showed, but there are some I've been meaning to get (those flower shapers, for one). I definitely need those straight tweezers, and I've been on the fence on the Cropodile because there are different models. Thank you for posting this video and the links! It is very helpful!
Thanks Ann for such a comprehensive list.
I have been slowly sorting all my craft items as I now have a dedicated space albeit shared with washing machine, I got some free 2nd hand wardrobes (hubby going to put shelves in them)
Finally I will know what I have and what I need â€
Thanks Ann, think I have almost all of your choices. My very favourite is my woodware trimmer (bought after watching your recommendation) absolutely love it, my only problem with it is getting the different blades, in fact I've found them impossible to get, but for straight cuts its a dream.
Thanks for sharing!!! It was very helpful!!
I have the crop-a-dile and love it too. Also have the crop-a-dile big bite. Itâs great for lots of sheets of paper or cardstock or thick chipboard and is great if you have grip issues. My favorite corner rounder is the WeR because like the crop-a-diles it goes through thicker chipboard or several sheets of paper at once.
Thank you Ann, couple of things I need to get xxx
As you were going through the list I was going yes, yes, have that, have similar lol. Must admit my 3 favourites that I have are the Woodware paper trimmer (got on your advice), the Crop-a-Dile and yes what that will go through is ridiculous. Hubby's hide belt which has broken lesser punches it went through like it was butter and, a teflon bone folder as it doesn't leave a shiny patch after burnishing. x
thanks for sharing - it's interesting to see what other crafters like- I have all this and more in 1 form or another. I had the ATG gun at one point, but couldn't figure out how to refill -plus the size didn't work for me. I have a Spellbinders 6 and Sizzix machine- and recently got the Spellbinders with the 8" platform- it folds up and I love it!! I have about 4 different paper trimmers- I didn't know Woodware had one. My one "regret" purchase was the Minc laminator - used it a few times and now it's in a cupboard. TFS I enjoy watching you.
Brilliant video Thankyou for sharing xx
Glad you enjoyed itxx
I also love the ATG, but use a lot of double-sided tape when I make albums and such. But I LOVE my Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive with the red tip (it's now rebranded as the Scotch Tacky Glue and has a mediocre white tip). I did put it into those little glue bottles with the needle noses for fine work and it works awesome!
Very helpful list. Thanks for the links!
Thank you for doing this video for me! Yes, I like the bright white bone folder best too. I got a lot out of video and wished it would have been out before I started buying tools, could of saved money and got what I really needed.
Brilliant video and thanks for the links xx
You are so welcome!
I agree with all your must haves! I rafted for 18 years and then did less to enjoy sewing again. But I resumed, and had to buy same platform, a score board, envelope maker and a new die cutting machine. I have Sizzix BS and the Plus...love them. I bought your gem stick thingee, and X cut punch to get both effects. Def have lots of stylus tips...and your glass mat ...best ever surface mat, I've had so many itove this glass one. Thank you Ann!
Loved this. Thank you
Great video Ann. Thankyou. đ„°đŹđ§
Thank you for sharing all the tools and I am glad to learn about pressure machine... Will thinking about buy it soon... Hug!
What a helpful video! I am happy to report that I have everything!! I heard you perfectly too. TYFS
A fantastic video Ann, wonderful choices and their plus points explained perfectly. Sound is fine.
Thank you Anne xx
Thanks for the tips.
Hi Ann, good stuff. I love my Diamond Press, die cutting machine, has one folder to hold the die and paper, very Sturdy anddeasy to use, no plates to worry about. Also Have the GeminiJr and big Gemini, great machines also, except for all the plates,
Thank you for sharing Ann, very interesting and helpful.
That "Aha" moment when you watch Ann turning over the paper trimmer "rubber thingy" and makes your trimmer like new again! Thanks Ann...in love with one of my many trimmers again!
You are so welcome! ;-) xx
So happy you have made a video on your favorite tools you use most often. I have some of them. My next purchase, in a few minutes, will be the Woodware Paper Trimmer. I have quite a few, but have had an eye on this one for a long time. Be well & TYVMFS
I used to watch Cteate and Craft all the time when I had DirectV. But then I changed cable providers, and it wasn't on the program list. It is on my ROKU, but prices and shipping costs have priced me out!
I do love your videos. Very informative. Beautiful cards!
I love seeing your favourites Ann as I have lots of the same and yes I agree they are crafters must have.
I would add to the list a t-ruler and a precision ruler with metal edge. đ€đđxoxo
:Yep I have all those items and would agree with your top picks with 2 additions...a t-ruler and a craft mat/silicone mat.
Such a fantastic video. You obviously put in a lot of time to come up with the list. I absolutely love the content you create and when I see that you've put up a new video, everything else comes to a stop because I have to watch it right then. I am a better crafter because of you and am so grateful that you do what you do!!!
Aww thank you so much xx
Yea I have an X cut corner rounder for years and I love it
Great video Ann - and it's just reminded me that I need to buy a new X-cut corner rounder because I tried to cut too many layers at once (naughty, I know) and jiggered it. Soooooo, I'll replace it with the 2-in1 version you showed and be able to do another type of corner too! x
LOL, we are of one mind! I have every thing on the list except for the paper distressing tool. Love all my toys.
Hi Ann, I saw another video of yours and then wandered to this one. I'm addicted to buying craft tools/gadgets...I think I buy more than I craft and have for decades. LOL! But I did see you use the Xcut and ran over to Amazon to take a look-see even though I have the WRMK corner chomper (various different shaped ones) and the WRMK corner rounder as well as another corner rounder. I love the fact that yours does both the rounded corner and the reverse. I wanted to get that Tim Holtz stamping platform years ago when there was controversy with the Misti as I thought it's superior to the Misti by far and cheaper.
I have pretty much everything you showed. Some of my brands are different but your list is definitely helpful to a new crafter or even a refresher for us experienced crafters. Ordered the corner rounder because mine are hit or miss with quality. Looking forward to getting it.
The flat âbrokenâ bone folder you showed is one of my favorites! It is amazing for really thick folds. And itâs Teflon, so no shiny spots. Never heard of Woodward, but Iâll check it out. Maybe itâs not a brand sold in the US.
Ann, this is such a helpful, informative video. I've saved it in my Positively Papercraft file for when mine need replacing đ Thanks so much, hun xx
You are so welcome! xx
You were clear in the USA. Thanks for sharing. Love your videos.
Thanks for watching!
great video, thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Ann. Great tool review. đ
You are so welcome!
Really great and informative video. Thank you!!
I purchased a Woodware trimmer based on your recommendation and I love it! The guide is accurate and my cuts are great.
Great to hear! i love it xx
Thank You All Great picks. I have many of them â€
So pleased Iâve found your site. Very informative. Thank you for your time.
Thank you xx
I am so glad to have found your site! Live in Arizona and your videos are awesome!!! Thanks for sharing and I do love the accent!
Grate wee video, good to see what someone who use the tools all the time think đ
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the walk thru.
My fav were the brushesâŠâŠ.Iâve just started researching how to use the inks to do the edges of paperâŠâŠ..this helped me decide what to think about purchasingâŠ..appreciate the time you took to share these products on your channelđ€đ€đ€đ„°
Thank you :-) xx
Very good video for everyone. Thank you.
So nice of you
Thank you Ann, I'm just getting started on my crafty journey and I have been wondering what I would need for the basic tools.
You are so welcome!
As I newish crafter here. Building up craft supplies on a budget, you really are wonderful for putting this video up. I've watched countless amazing videos of crafts being made but didn't know where to start with tools brands etc. So Thank you for sharing your knowledge. And beautiful crafting ideas. New subscriber here
Thank you so much! and thanks for subbing x
Thanks for this helpful videođđ
Thank you for sharing these as most are very affordable and I do find these very useful myself.
Glad you like them!
Ann. You are a star and this video came on just the right day. Been searching for a ticket corner punch for a while, had narrowed ir down to one that cost ÂŁ12 odd and the wrmk corner chomper (even more expensive). I was going to order one or the other today - but -I have had that X cut corner rounder for yonks and had no idea it was also a ticket punch. Just tried it and it's perfect. Thank you so much.x
That awesome xxx
You and I are on the same page. I have all those tools and most of them ate the same brand. And may I add a good clear ruler and a reasonable priced laminated. So enjoy your videos and all the neat tricks you share. Hugs from Pam in Texas.
Audio was fine on my laptop. Great videos very helpful to new crafters as it will give them a good heads up as there are so many tools out there. Take care xx
Great video! TYFS!
This is helpful!
Thanks for sharing! Iâve been searching for a good corner rounder and Iâm gonna give your suggestion a try đ
Youâre welcome đ
Thanks for all of these favorites. I havenât got a crop-o-dile yet, but keep thinking I need one. Now I know I do! I love your paper trimmer. Right now I have a Fiskars & it serves my purpose, but I may have to invest in one like yours. Thanks
You are so welcome!
Hi Ann, very useful and helpful paper tool tips. Thank you for leaving the links making it easier to actually find the tools you use and recommend. Hugs xx : )
Thank you you so much xx
I enjoyed your video. I found the information very helpful.
Ann, great list. I did want to point out the smallest end on the long scoring tool is best when you need your ruler to score a line, and you are not on a mat of some kind, or surface that gives a bit to score on. A sharp pointed score tool will leave a great crease for like the fold line on the back of a fold bag for example. I have a tri set by another company with each end having a different size ball on the end.
On the gel pens Sakura has a line that is called glaze pens the white one writes a bit milky, but dries a clear gloss. The black one is perfect for critter eyes with a bit of black shine.
On the scissors fiskars has a spring assist pair of scissors and they absolutely are the best for fussy cutting. I could not live without them. đ
Great video!
Thank you for the recommendations. I have the X CUT corner rounder but I'd either totally forgotten or didn't know it cuts into the corners. I was trying to do that with a hole punch recently which wasn't very successful. I have a few of your other tools and it's good to hear how you like things. đ€â€
Glad it was helpful!
Ty. I have almost all of these same tools.
Thank you, Ann!
I use a lot of these tools too Ann great recommendations , The woodware and tonic trimmers are the ones I use too XXX
Quit talking with your hands. You keep moving the product. Itâs really distracting.
I love my woodware trimmer â€ïž After spending a fortune on fiskers replacement blades I bought this and not looked back. My only gripe was I couldnât see the measurements on the arm extension so I rubbed a bit of white acrylic paint over the grooves and now itâs perfect. Thanks for reviewing your favourites x
Brilliant idea! Best trimmer in the world i think xx
Wow, I didn't know Woodware had a paper trimmer (I'm addicted to their stamps; I don't care that they have no dies.) This is a really good list of tools. Thank you. I had no problem with the audio on my laptop.
Got a few of these tools, on your recommendations Ann, especially the Woodward trimmer. Definitely the best one the other 3 I have are rubbish. Thanks again for the video Ann I do like honest opinions take care xđâ€ïž
Great to hear! xx
Great video. I agree with everything you said about these tools
Thanks for watching!
Through a livetime of crafting, I think I started in preschool, I collected a lot of tools. So the most ones you meantioned I already own a while. I am not sure what for Id need a crop a dile. I have the quite strange tools from Fiskars, that work loud with a spring. Maybe I will get me a big bite someday.
I have that ATG gun, but the last two refills didnt work well and they got sticked on themselfes, what I had to fix quite often, the refills are also not cheap at all so I just use small gluesnails from âJapan plusâ or whatever they are named. It leaves a lot plastic waste, so still not my happy solution.
Thank you for your video. I love how you came right to the point and didnt talk a lot bla bla. Great, go on please
I heard the sound fine. No issues on my end at all, on iPad and I streamed to TV fine too
Great Video â€ïž
Great video! I have every one of these except the small hole glue gun, which I will be looking for! lol This is great for people starting out...these items will help with all cardmaking. :)
Nice! I have some iteration of all of these except no atg or cropadile...yet đ
đâïžđâ€ïž thanks for sharing
Awesome video, thanks for sharing this with us! Where is the grid on your table from? With the different card/paper sizes.
I so agree with you on the envelope punch board, it's a great thing to have, got mine a few yrs ago and use it all the time. Also got an ATG gun recently for ÂŁ1 at a car boot sale and a crop o dile in the case with all the bits for ÂŁ15 on marketplace. I don't get great results with my Tim Holtz platform, maybe because of the arthritis in my hands so use a Crafts Too one which now has a broken hinge that's super glued lol. Great video xx
Thank you, Ann.
Hi Ann, I'm very new to crafting and your videos are a go-to of mine. I'm learning about die cutting and embossing, I got a spellbinders prizm for five pounds from the range, and I really like it but it's so tiny and it doesn't tolerate embossing folders, so I'm looking into getting a big shot.
Can I just ask, what is a precision plate and why is it incompatible with the big shot? Thanks.
I thought it was so funny when you had a slip of the tongue and said that you levitate. You were saying that you gravitate back to those two glue guns... đ€Łđ
Hehe oh yes i often Levitate :-) haha x
@@PositivelyPapercraft I hope the next time you levitate, you get it on video. đ€Łđ€Ł
@@tarabeard đ€Łđ
Your paper trimmer is beautiful, but I personally am not a fan of those types of trimmers because of having to change the cutting pad. I still have one from Fiskars from like 20 years ago when the cutting pads were getting too pricy for me. LOL! But I do love the Fiskars Surecut Deluxe and the Fiskars Procision trimmers (this one is a great investment as you never have to replace any parts!). Both of those are awesome in different ways. I've always eyeballed the Cutterpillar and may still get it someday. As far as glue guns, a million years ago when I thought I used glue guns a lot, I got the Aleene's Ultimate Cordless Glue Gun Kit. I loved that it's cordless as the corded ones get in the way and dig this...it comes with 4 tips!
Ann what about your glass craft mat? Also if you do another one like this talk about your printer. Loving these videos. Watched this one and the embossing folder one twice each. I have most of these tools. Looking into the SureBonder glue gun as I have about 6 glue guns but none have a fine tip.
Btw no audio issues on this end. It did go slightly louder on one item but that's happening on a lot of videos lately, not just yours, so maybe a YT issue.
Is that a Teflon bone folder? I have way too many scissors as welll. I have them in every room just like my glasses. The Fiskars titanium non-stick In 5 inches and 8 inches are my most used. They're the only ones I use with adhesives and they never have to be cleaned.
Great video! Iâve got some shopping to do! What is your mat? Is it glass?
I first bought a 1 speed heat tool, am saving for a 2 speedâŠitâs strange how the tools you have are the ones I haveâŠthe Xcut corner rounder is great
Ann, have you tried the Stampin Up take your pick tool? It has a pokey end which flips to another flat head tip. The other end is a putty tool. It also has an addition head that is a bristle brush for intricate dies.
Yes, i have it hun xx
Thanks for the info. Whatâs the issue with the precision base plate on your Sizzix? I have a different Sizzix Big Shot (it doesnât fold), and the precision plate works great.
I went to a rotary cutter just because of you!
Thank you for this. I am nobody in the crafting community just a personal crafter and as of this week I literally have all 21 of these items in one form or another, just got the sizzix scoop tool this past week. I also want to say I am a tim Holtz fan and it's nice seeing someone loving his platform. I love his glass mat. Another tool important to me is the little bag sealer for shaker cards and My ink /oxide collection. I'm thinking I am going to check out that Woodware trimmer I have the cricut and stamping up one because I can go corner to corner with a 12x12 cardstock. My craft area colors are black, Grey, pink and rose gold. Your laminator did not make this list lol
Damn! My Laminator! How could i miss that out! Lol that is a must have tool :-) Thank you xxx
đđđ THIS VIDEO... đ
Best thing about have extra tools is 1) you can use then if you travel rather than risk taking faves and something happening or 2) they are great to pass onto someone that wants to craft but doesn't have the money for tools, to get them started. đ
Great video!! Thank you for sharing â€
Very true! i agree. Thank you xx
Excellent list! I would be lost without my ATG gun!
Thanks for sharing about the tools. I have most of them and need to get a couple more items. I was debating about getting the blending brushes and finger daubers. The next time I make an order I will consider ordering them. Thanks again for the advise for using each tool.
