Have you got a paper crimper in your tool arsenal?
Do you use it much?
In today's tip I want to share a few ways you can put your paper crimper to use.
One thing I discovered off the bat is that kraft cardstock & your paper crimper can go together like peanut butter & jelly. I know...it may seem odd but there is something about the combo that when you see it together, it makes you go hmmm- me likes!
The combo brings kitsch & vintage together beautifully so that is certainly one thing to do.
2- is to use it to crimp your lightweight chipboard letters & numbers.
3- Use it in your masculine projects.
4- Use it to make textural mats for your photos.
5- Use it when assembling pages for flip books where accordian folds are required. You get a perfect peak & valley with the crimper.
Those are my top 5, now it's your turn to think of some more options for this often underutilized tool.
Have a great week!
Wow!!!!Thanks for sharing all these great tips!! I love my crimper!!
ReplyDeleteI have a cripmer and I LOVE it. I have been wanting to try to crimp something that every crafter has but probably would not think about crimping. Once I give it a try I will let you know if it works. Thanks for that list!
