My Favorite Paper Crafting Tools and Supplies

I love this paper trimmer! It has a wire cut-line so you can see exactly where you are going to cut.

I use this scoring board a ton! It is great for making paper rosettes/medallions, treat boxes and cards. I will sometimes score over the lines my Cricut scores, especially when I use really thick paper as it makes a deeper score line and smoother fold.

I started using this double-sided tape a few years ago and love how strong it is. It is not reposition-able, so you do need to be precise in placing it. It is great for treat boxes because it is so strong.

This pen is great for card making! I use it a lot when making my detailed pull cards that have lots of small pieces.

Another great adhesive, I use this for all sorts of things. I really like the broad tip because it lets me smooth the glue out on the paper so I get a really even application.

Elmer's craft bond glue is great for paper crafting. It is slightly reposition-able so if you make a mistake you can act quickly and shift things. I usually use this for decorative pieces, not for holding my treat boxes together.

I use this Baker's Twine for so many different things! The black and white color goes with almost everything. It's perfect for banners, small bows, tying treat boxes closed and more.

A nice basic scissors that works well for general paper crafting!

Fikers makes some really nice hole punches that are easy to use. I also have the 1/8" punch and it is a lot - especially with the Baker's Twine which is really thin.

I often use thin clear fasteners to hold paper treat boxes closed, like my Paper Purse Treat Boxes. These work great as do the 5/8" size.

This is my go-to paper for printing all of my paper crafts. This is what I use for my printable treat boxes, printable banners and more. It is a great weight for paper crafting and while it is 110lbs it is not as thick as other paper listed as 110lbs. This works well with my Epson printer but you'll want to make sure it will work with your printer.

This craft plastic is perfect for treat boxes! It can be used to create the cutest peek through windows. Amazon sells two thicknesses, make sure you purchase the .007 kind. It is clear and cuts well with a cutting machine. The other thickness is .20 and it is very thick and closer to vellum than clear plastic. I use this in my Christmas Treat Boxes.

These paper collections by American Crafts are perfect for adding solid colored casrdstock to your stash. You can purchase packs for different seasons and the paper is a great weight with a slight texture to it. I used the Tropical Collection in these fun Fruit Treat Boxes.

This is my favorite glitter paper. It doesn't shed, cuts beautifully on my Cricut and comes in a lot of fun colors. You can also purchase this in 12"x12" sheets.

Another favorite cardstock is the DCWV double-sided cardstock. It is fun to use for treat boxes since it gives the inside a different color.

Paper stacks by DCWV are also perfect for paper crafting. They come in so many fun themes and you can often find them on sale at craft stores like Joann Fabrics and Michaels. The paper is a nice weight and they usually come with journaling pages that include cute sayings and fun tags.

This is the mat I use under a lot of my paper crafting projects. If I need to use an X-Acto knife or craft knife, this mat is perfect for that. One side is purple and the other side, the one I usually use, is a black grid with ruler.
