As we pack, unpack and re-pack for the different shows, I started thinking about some of the JudiKins products that have become standards in many stamper’s tool box, yet are sometimes forgotten. One in particular is our Mini Envelope Template Set. I’m sure a lot of you have this Template Set—but have you used it lately? I spent some time playing with it and came up with a couple fun projects. I would like to challenge you to: 1) find your Mini Envelope Template Set in your stash; and, 2) make something new with any of the three templates. Here are a few ideas to get you going…

Tool Time

One of our customers at the stamp show in Carson, CA a couple weeks ago was surprised when I used my Hi-Vis Ruler™ and my Pen Knife™—instead of a paper trimmer—to made some precise, accurate layering strips. I thought I would pass this information on—maybe you’ve forgotten or maybe you never knew about the advantages of these two great tools. Take a minute to find your Hi-Vis Ruler™ and Pen Knife™ so you can follow along:

Let’s take a look at the JudiKins Retractable Pen Knife™...

retracts when not in use for safety
easy click to open/push button to close
long-lasting high quality German-made
replaceable, easy to change blades
length of blade compatible to Hi-Vis Ruler™

And then the JudiKins Hi-Vis Ruler™ (Either 6” or 12”)

the steel edge is the cutting side
the beveled edge is for pen/pencil marking
orange markings make it easy to read
horizontal grid lines every ½”
vertical grid lines every 1/8”
vertical hash marks at ½”
0 measurement starts at the left edge
width of ruler is 1 ½”

And if you want to see how these tools are used you can watch a part of the video Paper Mosaics or view the step by step instructions here. | to Shop |
