Thanks for sharing these awesome tools! :)
These tools are great. I have the shammy, tweezers and pick and they come in handy when crafting. Learned a new technique today with using the sanding paper.
The card is great. And I love the info on craft tools. These always seem to get a bit ignored.
I agree! those are great tools. I couldn’t live without my tweezers and my craft pick! I don’t use my shammy as often as I should, though I love it.
Love the floral’s and the soft faded blue background. So pretty!
Gorgeous colorful card and I love all of the info on the tools!
Incredible background and coloring of the flowers!
I have all of the except the AMAZING embellishment tray. I am surprised that someone hasn’t thought of a triangular shape before! GENIUS!
Thank you for sharing. I couldn’t live without the tweezers, pick or shammy either. I have the embellishment trays, but forget to use them. I’ll pull one out and keep it on my desk. Going to have to try the sandpaper. Thanks for the suggestions.
Great card and video!
Fabulous tools!

Love seeing products that are new to me.
Love the card! I’ve got the tweezers but I’ll have to consider the others one my next shopping trip. :)
Lovely card and thanks for all the tips.

I had no idea a stump sander even existed – good to know! I wouldn’t be without my chamois or my EK tweezers!
Great crafty tools! Thanks, Jessica for the useful tips and very pretty card.
Beautiful card and great ideas–I have all of those things except that particular sander, I have a different sander but I don’t use it often.
Beautiful card!
Thanks for the video, pretty card too. I think the shammy was the best thing ever invited all I need is those tweezers, I don’t know why I haven’t gotten them yet.
Beautiful card and thanks for the tips!
Great info! Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful card, great tips.
Thank you for all these tips. I love the stamp shammy a lot. I have one and I’m glad Im not using that many wipes now.
Beautiful card!! Great tips and ideas for using those tools. I never thought to use my sanding block in that way.
Great choices! I also reach for my T-ruler a lot. Love that large sentiment over the flowers. Made a very pretty layout!
Amazing tools and such a beautiful card :)
Gorgeous card. I absolutely agree with your choices for top 5 inexpensive crafty tools — with the exception of the Studio Katia Embellishment Tray, I have them all and use them frequently (some I use daily).
I own and use my two shammies, pick and tweezers all the time. I have a cheap toothbrush on my desk to remove the pesky die cut “fuzz”. Now I need to buy that embellishment holder – love the triangle shape.
These tools are great!
