One of the things I love the most out of all the tools we have available to use at Stampin’ up!…are the scissors we carry. We have 3 different types of scissors to complete an array of chores.
The first pair of scissors I’ll be showing you today are the “Craft & Rubber Scissors”. What do I use these for? Something I always try to encourage my customers to do with a brand new stamp set, is to cut the rubber around all the edges of each individual stamp. This eliminates the possibility of any stray ink lines when stamping. I cut as close to the stamp image as I can removing all excess rubber. Here is the catalog description of these scissors:

You have to try these scissors to believe them. With these scissors, trimming rubber is a breeze! These scissors are not only comfortable to use, and very sharp, they also cut right to the tip, so you can make small, careful snips on your rubber. Once you’ve tried our Craft & Rubber Scissors, you’ll wonder how you survived without them!

Next in line is our “Paper Snips”. The most wonderful pair of scissors I have ever owned! These scissors make cutting your papers a breeze. I love to fussy cut and these scissors make it absolutely easy:

Thanks, Debbie! I love my paper snips and use them every time I am making cards. I don't have either of the other two…but have a very similar one for the rubber cutting (though now I usually only have clear stamps)….and have a different and smaller pair that I use only for ribbons. Always appreciate your Monday shares!
