Crafting Essentials ....

What are your crafting essentials? For me it has to be double sided tape (in different widths) and my trusty X-Cut guillotine. I won it in a draw years and years ago from Docrafts and it still cuts clean and sharply.
Over the years it has been knocked off the table and bounced several times and had the handle grip replaced, but it is still something I use for every single card I make - you just cannot cut a clear straight line with scissors!!

  1. Definitely double sided tape and my Fiskars paper trimmer but also my Cuttlebug which was a birthday present from my husband last year. Lainie xx

  2. They are my two most important essentials too. I bought my Xcut 12" guillotine many years ago and would be totally lost without it :o)
