From free-wheeling bling to custom-made buttons, the Gadget Girls have demonstrated some super-handy tools in our series and this issue is no exception. Our aim is to bring some of the industry’s newest and most unique tools to the spotlight and we feel pretty confident that we have chosen some stunners. Check out what our four fabulous designers have cooked up in this issue.

chipboard toolsThis is the last installment of Gadget Girls, and we’ve had an amazing year of presenting fun ways for working with gadgets that add special touches to all your scrapbooking projects. From heated bling tools to button makers to chipboard altering gadgets, we’ve saved the best until last. In this issue, we are showcasing electrical punches that also emboss. The Spellbinders Presto Punch is one of the coolest gadgets we have encountered. It is a small appliance that packs a lot of “punch” and is petite enough to fit in any craft space and versatile enough to create a variety of designs. Our team of designers had a great time using the punch to embellish and journal on our projects. There are so many templates to choose from and the Presto Punch even has an assortment of alphabets to provide the freedom to create your own unique titles. Check out the many creative ways in which our four designers used their Presto Punches to embellish their layouts.

Instructions and material lists for each project shown here can be found on pages 27–32.
