 CarlaCraft Binding
System
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.

vivid
colors in plastic and four in steel.
Three of the same color per box; each coil measures 12" long and can be
cut to any size you wish.

 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. He recommends
micro-serrated scissors with a fine tip for detail cutting, and we
wholeheartedly agree.
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.

 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.

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.

 Crop-A-Dile
Finally...no clicking, banging, pounding, twisting, grunting, or
cussing! This all-in-one tool easily punches 1/8" and 3/16" holes
through virtually any material, whether it's thick or thin.
Works on chipboard, wood, leather, fabric, acrylic, plastic,
and cardstock.
It also sets eyelets, snaps, or other metal
embellishments without requiring a work mat. Pink, portable, and no
loose pieces or parts to patrol. Let your imagination run
wild with this amazing tool!

 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.

 Bone
Folder
Artisans in book binding have used bone
folders for years, but stampers and other papercrafters also find them
invaluable. They make flawless folds and creases, and our model is
ergonomically shaped so it feels comfortable in your hand. Simply press
the point of the bone folder on your cardstock, pulling it along the
edge of a ruler as if you were drawing a line with a pencil.
Measures approximately 4 3/4" long.

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.

 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
You can also make
creative designs in chalk for a "resist" or batik look. Can be refilled.

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.
