10 of my favorite crafty items I use for card making.

1. Cutter Bee scissors - I like these for fine detail and fussy cutting images. / https://amzn.to/2WxZ34G
2. Honey Bee scissors - I like these for cutting foam tape and anything else that has adhesive because these scissors have a Teflon coating to keep the blades from gumming up when cutting anything sticky or adhesive. / https://amzn.to/2sVZ58F
3. Mini Martha Stewart Scoring Board - I like using it to score my card bases and to score lines on anything else that needs a score line. 
4. Foam Pop Dots / Foam Tape / Foam Squares - I have a a nice little variety of these. I have white and black foam squares and I have a roll of foam tape. These give your diecuts dimension instead of your cards looking flat. / https://amzn.to/2Se3AK6
5. Tim Holtz ruler - I like this ruler because it has a center measuring ruler side to help you find the center point of something. Very useful for me. I use this a lot to make sure my card mat layers are centered. / https://amzn.to/2WDYCWu
6. Tim Holtz Glass Media Mat - This is a new item to my favorites. I really, really love it! I even got the too kit with the scraper and guide. It repels most everything I have used on it and it makes blending Distress Inks and Distress Oxides a breeze. / https://amzn.to/2TnbAWx
7. Paper Trimmer - I like the Tim Holtz aka Tonic Guillotine trimmer to cut many sheets at once. I like to use the Cricut paper trimmer for when I want to cut down my scraps and only one sheet of paper. / https://amzn.to/2Tp5l4j
8. Cricut XL Scraper - I use this for burnishing cardstock down to my cutting mat, to burnish transfer tape to vinyl and to get a good contact between cardstock and glue. I seem to use it for everything, but a scraper. / https://amzn.to/2RWKYPs
9. Speedball Brayer - I really like to use this tool for ink techniques and when not using it for ink, I like to use it to "steamroll" over my layered images to make sure everything gets a good contact. / https://amzn.to/2TlYo4b
10. Bone Folder - I like to use my bone folder to get a nice sharp crease when I fold score lines on my card bases. I also use it for rub-ons. / https://amzn.to/2WuYpVy

Well, that is all I can think of as my favorite crafty items for card making.
