So let me begin with my most favourite tool. I have total of 10 tools and gadgets for me that have been my on my table since many years and I just cannot do without them.
1.
SCISSORS---- This scissor is my favourite and although you have the mini version, the original is the best. I am speaking of the
TIM HOLTZ SERRATED NON STICK SCISSORS... Once you start working with this, I promise, all other scissors will take a back seat.
Kushgrip Non-Stick Micro Serrated Scissors 7". These scissors are being endorsed by Tim Holtz because of their overall quality, their duo-tipped feature (one serrated blade and one fine point sharp tip blade) for excellent cutting on all types of materials: great for detail cutting. Use at home, office, school, for crafts, scrap booking and other hobby projects. Extra Large soft cushion over-molding plastic handles offers a comfortable grip for hours of use and less fatigue. Non-stick coating means no build up of adhesive. Scissors come with a sheath for blade protection and safe handling.
Check the mini and 9" version also.
This trimmer is the best that I have ever used. Its been with me for almost 6 years and never have I ever faced any problem. It cuts like butter and have always given me the most perfect cutting for all paper types. If you want to invest in a trimmer, then this is the one.
Measure your lines perfectly ....Thats what score boards are for... no hassle of rulers and tilted lines. Just follow the score lines and get perfect measured folds. So make correctly fitted boxes, cards , envelopes and what not. This is a great tool that measures 1/8 and 1/16 and is also useful for making many multi card folds.
Here are some videos that will guide you more about this wonderful tool.
