Product Review: Fold-It Swirl Punches

Based solely on Susan Niner Janes’ Fold It Swirl Templates, a favorite in the scrapbooking industry, the brand new Fold-It Swirl Punches are an excellent addition to any scrapbookers’ supply cabinet.

They are super easy to use, and they are extremely sturdy and long lasting.

Organizing The Old Supplies First

Lately, I’ve been cleaning and organizing some of my scrapbook supplies. As I’ve mentioned in the past, I have enough products to open my own store.

I am obsessed with organizing things. In … Continue reading →

The corner rounder was so popular, that it was rare to find a scrapbook page layout during this time frame that did not have photographs with rounded corners. But as with any trend, it did eventually die out and the corner rounder became obsolete. In fact, for a long time, you rarely saw it. I know mine collected dust. But in the more recent times, I’ve … Continue reading →

The Forgotten Hole Punch and Its Many Uses

Several years ago, one of the most popular tools in scrapbooking were punches, and the favorites used to be all the different shapes. But now, although not obsolete (I still use them), they are not as common to see in layouts. However, there are a few basic punches I think every scrapbooker should own. One of these is the hole punch. I have five in different sizes and they are a wonderful addition to my tools. There are numerous ways to use a hole punch in your scrapbooking, not only to help with scrapbooking but to use for decorations as … Continue reading →
