From adhesives to rubber stamps and more, there are a few basic tools even novice scrapbookers should have on hand. The right tools make the work easier and allow you to turn your ideas into reality more quickly so you can make the most of your crafting muse. Corner rounding tools and paper cutting tools, however, should be a staple in every scrapbooker's supply case.
Corner and Shape Tools
Corner rounding tools give the scrapbooker an easy way to round corners on a photograph, matte or notecard. Corner rounding tools come in a variety of styles from a rounded corner to a scalloped corner. A shape cutting system is also a handy item to have for scrapbooking. The shape cutting system can make cutting out shapes, such as circles, hearts and ovals, quicker and easier than with scissors.
Paper Cutting
A good pair of paper scissors is an absolute must for scrapbooking. Your scrapbooking scissors should be kept with your scrapbooking supplies so they are not used to cut other materials and put at risk for dulling. Scrapbooking scissors also come with blades that can create a variety of borders from wavy to scalloped. A personal paper trimmer is also a handy tool that gives you perfectly straight lines when cutting photos, mattes and squares.
