Finally, a spiral coil binding system that is portable, inexpensive, and
super easy to operate! Make your own journals, address books,
calendars, and more. Spiral coils are great because the
pages lie
completely flat when opened, and the cover can be
turned underneath the book.
You'll love the pretty colors available for
the coils, which
are sold separately below. After punching your holes with the
binding system, simply insert the coil into the first hole
and twirl it through the rest of them by hand. Trim the coil
with scissors
(for plastic coils) or a wire
cutter (for
steel
coils), turn under the ends with a long-nose
plier,
and
you're
done!
The CarlaCraft Binding System will punch up to five sheets of copy
paper or two sheets of cardstock at a time. It also punches lightweight
chipboard so you can make sturdy book covers. Create any size booklet
you wish, up to 12" long on the bound edge.
Illustrated
directions
are printed right on the box, and abbreviated instructions are located
on the aligner piece itself so you'll never forget how to use it. But
it's like riding a bike...once you give it a try, you'll definitely
remember since it's so simple. For a demonstration, check out our video
tutorial by clicking here.
CarlaCraft Binding System consists of the special hole puncher and
aligning tool. The coils (9mm,
18mm, and open stock types) need to be ordered separately below.

Perfect Layers Tools
Perfect Layers is a must-have item if you want to create perfect
borders, frames and layered effects on your scrapbook pages, cards, or
any paper crafting project. Using Perfect Layers, you can cut several
different border measurements with
no measuring required.
Each tool is designed with a patented "catch lip" that tool hooks onto
the edge of the photo or image panel, giving
the precise measurement you want. Using a standard craft knife, just
cut along the outside of the Perfect Layers tool and repeat for all
other sides of your picture or project. Each acrylic tool has
stainless-steel
edging for durability and smoothness of cutting.
Using
all three Pefect Layers Tools, you can create 10 different border sizes:

Perfect Layers Tools are available in three different configurations:
X-Caliber
Craft Knife
Although it's been an essential tool in our stamping kit for years, we
never got that excited over an X-Acto knife until we discovered this
little gem! With its slim, tapered barrel, this feels and handles
almost like a regular ink pen. And the blades are smaller than most
other knives', making it easily maneuverable when trimming even the
tiniest areas. Best part of all? The blade retracts with the push of a
button…no more caps falling off and accidentally slicing
your fingers as you reach into your stash. Refill blades (HX295)
available at most office supply stores or through our website.
X-Caliber
Refill Blades
Keep a bunch of 'em handy at all times. X-Acto knives work best (and
are safest to use) with fresh blades. Model HX295 fits our X-Caliber
knife.
Cloud Stencil
Make a pretty sky background by creating fluffy clouds with this handy,
reusable template. Just apply your favorite light blue dye ink with a
sponge (sold separately), lightly dabbing repeatedly over the top edge
of the stencil.
Round Sponge
Use
this synthetic round sponge to apply ink when using our cloud stencil.
Bow-Easy
Are
you
"bow challenged"? The Bow-Easy tool makes it simple to create perfect
bows every time. Use it to tie seven different sizes of mini
bows:
3/4", 1", 1
1/4", 1 3/8", 1 3/4", 2 3/8", and 2
3/4".
This handy plastic template accommodates many sizes of ribbon,
trim, braid,
threads, and even fabrics. Make single, double, and triple looped bows.
Includes written instructions and diagrams. For
more information, read our blog entry about the Bow-Easy here.
Bow Easy #2
Helps you create four sizes of flat bows: 4", 5", 6", and 8". Designed
to make larger bows than the "regular" Bow-Easy, which more suitable
for placement on gifts, trees, wreaths, and more. Best used with
ribbons from 1/2" to 2" wide. Please note this is not intended for pew
bows.
Spool & Store Ribbon
Spooler
If you're making bows with the Bow-Easy tool shown above, then you've
probably got ribbon...and lots of it! Store all your ribbons neatly by
winding them with the Spool & Store Ribbon Spooler.
It's part of a unique organizational system for all those rolls and
remnants cluttering up your drawers or baskets, and we're so excited to
introduce this new line of products! For more information and to view
the complete collection, please click here.
The Ribbon
Spooler comes with one Divider Disc. Perfect for easily
winding
your ribbon to fit in the Ribbon
Dispensers,
or use your own storage
container.
Tonic
Scissors
Want to treat yourself to something enjoyable and
highly
practical? These scissors are the best! Tim Holtz collaborated with
Tonic Studios to create this gem of a tool.
The nonstick coating minimizes adhesive build-up, and
the extra large Kushgrip handles are very comfortable.
Excellent on all types of material, including rubber, vinyl,
ribbon, and adhesive-backed papers. Includes protective cap.
Fiskars Mini Craft
4" Scissors
The compact size of these scissors makes tiny clips in up-close
places fast and easy. Straight, precision-ground blades are super
sharp.
We love our Tim Holtz Tonic Scissors for most uses, but we turn to
these scissors when cutting out very small or highly detailed items, as
well as sheer ribbons. They're also perfect for slicing through the
tissue layers of our Honeycomb
Paper Pads when making HoneyPOP cards.
Tiny
Attacher by Tim Holtz
In Tim's
Words:
At
first
glance, you might be thinking it's "just an ordinary stapler"--but if
you know me, something ordinary just wouldn't do. This Tiny Attacher is
smaller than a standard stapler and even smaller than a mini stapler. Its
unique
design allows you to secure ribbons and other elements to your project
with a simple squeeze. Leave your assumptions at the door because this
clever gadget is about to change the way you attach things to your
projects for good...
This "industrial-style" stapler is super sturdy yet squeezes
very easily. Stapler includes 100 Tiny Staples, and refills are
available separately below.
Tiny
Attacher Refill Staples
These refill staples are made for the Tiny Attacher by Tim Holtz...and
they really are tiny!
For comparison, the photo shows standard staples on the left, small
staples in the center, and the Tiny Attacher Staples on the right.
Package contains 1550 refill staples.
Tonic
Paper Distresser
The distressed look is HOT right now, and this nifty gizmo makes it a
snap to create worn edges on your paper and cardstock. Its seven
sharp blades are recessed,
so it's safe and easy to
use. Ideal for cutting thread and fibers, too! The
cushioned center is comfortable to hold, and the "O" ring means
you can
attach it to your keychain or tie it to your toolbag.
Inky Roller Brayer
Ink larger areas and make backgrounds, or use with resist techniques.
Also handy for burnishing. Soft rubber roller with hang-up handle and
built-in footed stand measures 3 5/16" wide.
Inky Replacement Roller
Replacement roller for brayer sold above. Measures 3 5/16" wide.
Marvy
Embossing Heat Tool
An absolute essential in every stamper's arsenal! With the Heat Tool
from Marvy,
you’ll have everything you need for faster, easier,
worry-free embossing. You can also use it on shrink plastic
and puffy paints, in addition to melting extra-thick embossing
powder. It has a 6-foot cord and collapsable stand for easy
storage. Measures approximately 4 3/4" long. Please note that
color of heat tool may vary between hot pink or
silver depending
upon availability.
Assorted
Blending
Stumps
These compressed paper stumps act as the "applicator" for our Gamsol
liquid blending technique. Simply press the stump gently against the
sponge-top dabber bottle containing Gamsol (sold separately); you'll
see the stump darken with just the right amount of liquid. Using light
pressure with circular motions, blend the colored pencil lines of your
stamped image. Pull the color toward the center of the image with your
stump to achieve a shaded look. You'll receive one of each size #2, 4,
and 6. May be used over and over again; just file off excess color with
an emery board or sandpaper until stump is clean.
Multi-Pack
Stumps
Our Gamsol fans
have been asking for
more "stump options," and
now we're pleased to offer
three additional choices in
blending stumps! Convenient multi-packs are available in Small (5
stumps, 1/4" diameter), Medium (4 stumps, 5/16" diameter),
and Large (3 stumps, 13/32" diameter).
Stock up on your favorite sizes!
Made in Taiwan.
Sandpaper
Pad
It's sandpaper on a stick! Clean your blending stumps with ease using
our convenient little tool. Several mini sheets of sandpapery goodness
are attached to a wood board with handle. When you've
finished the top sheet, simply rip it off to reveal a new one
underneath. Sure, you can use an emery board or regular sandpaper on
your stumps...but this inexpensive gadget is the perfect size
for
popping into your tool bag, and it's a lot more fun to use!
Faber
Castell Pencil
Sharpener
When we're at home, generally we like to use an electric pencil
sharpener with our Prismacolor pencils. But sometimes portability is
important, and the Faber Castell pencil sharpener works great! With
three different holes, it's suitable for sharpening various
lead
and colored pencil sizes. The high-grade steel blade facilitates
getting a perfect point, and this sharpener is compact and
easy to
empty.
Pebbles
Chalk & Craft Eraser
A nifty
mechanical eraser that advances with just a click! Its broad
surface is perfect for erasing large areas, while the narrow
edge works well for small,
hard-to-get-into areas. Works
with shimmer or regular chalks,
as well as lead and colored pencils. (Although it won't
completely erase colored pencils, it's
terrific for lightening areas or
cleaning up stray marks.) You
can also make
creative designs in chalk for a "resist" or batik look. Can be refilled.
Pebbles
Chalk & Craft Eraser Refills
Keep an
extra set or two on hand so you won't run out of refills
for your Pebbles Chalk & Craft Eraser.
Contains two erasers per package; eraser
applicator sold separately above.
Prong
Pick-Up Tool
For applying chalks, we've used cotton swabs, sponge applicators, and
alligator-clip holders with pom poms. They all work just fine, but this
handy tool makes chalking a real pleasure! Depress the plunger, and
fine metal prongs will extend from the tip to pick up any size pom pom.
Release the plunger, and the prongs
pull back to grab and hold the pom
pom securely. This allows you to hold the tool in your hand like a
pencil or pen…what could be simpler? To order pom pom
refills separately, click here.
Niji Waterbrush
The ultimate in portability and
convenience for a paintbrush! Fill
the water compartment, which
doubles as a handle, like a
turkey baster...unscrew the top and submerge the brush into a
cup of water while squeezing. Recap and
you're ready to go! Synthetic
brush has a 9 mm tip and removable cap
for storage.
Tim
Holtz Grid-Blocks
These
thin acrylic blocks with laser-etched gridlines in 1/2" increments make
it simple to align polymer stamps. Use them over and over with all your
clear stamp sets, as well as any cling-mounted stamps you may own.
Set contains 9 blocks, each measuring approximately 1/8" thick, in the
following dimensions: 1" x 2", 2" x 2", 2" x 3", 3" x 4", 1" x 5", 2" x
7", 4" x 6", 4" x 8", and 5" x 6 1/2".
