My Favorite Paper Crafting Tools and Supplies
Here are some of my favorite paper crafting supplies! I love to create treat boxes, cards, banners and gifts from paper and I share tons of paper crafting tutorials on my blog. I get asked all the time what my favorite tools and supplies are for paper crafting so I decided to put them in one handy spot! While I love trying out new tools and materials, I also tend to use some of the same ones for multiple crafts and projects. Below you’ll find my most used and favorite supplies. I’ve linked to them on Amazon so you can read more about them, but you can find most of these at your local craft supply stores as well. I hope this is helpful! :)
My Favorite Paper Crafting Supplies
These are some of my favorite craft supplies for paper crafting! You'll see me use a lot of these in my craft tutorial pictures.

Fiskars SureCut Deluxe Craft Paper Trimmer, 12 Inch
I love this paper trimmer! It has a wire cut-line so you can see exactly where you are going to cut.

EK Success ek Tools Scoring Board
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.

Scor-Tape Double-Sided Adhesive - 1/8" 1/4", 1/2"
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.

Zig 2-Way Glue Pens
This pen is great for card making! I use it a lot when making my detailed pull cards that have lots of small pieces.

Tombow Liquid Glue Dual Tip Dispenser
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 Stick,
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.

Black and White Bakers Twine
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.

Fiskars 8" Softgrip Scissors
A nice basic scissors that works well for general paper crafting!

Fiskars 1/4" Circle Hand Punch
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.

VELCRO Brand - 3/8" Thin Clear Fasteners
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.

Neenah White Cardstock 110lbs
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.

Grafix Clear Craft Plastic .007 Plastic
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.

American Crafts Cardstock
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.

DCWV 6 Inch Glitter Stack
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.

DCWV Double Sided Cardstock Stack, Textured, 58 Sheets, 12 x 12 inches
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.

DCWV Card Stock 12"X12" Watercolor Ombre Premium Printed Cardstock Stack
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.

Cricut Self Healing Cutting Mat
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.
