Scrapbooking Supplies Make It Simple To Archive Memories

Memories are fleeting, but they last a lot longer when you rely on scrapbooking supplies to help document your company's milestones. Stock up on Quill's line of stamps, cardstock, writing utensils and decorative borders, then stand back and encourage your clerical staff to let their creativity shine. Scrapbooking supplies are great for constructing a long-lasting visual record of accomplishments in business or educational settings.

Use Mat Cutters and Borders to Make Custom Frames

Let your team members enjoy a fun change of pace when you ask them to create a photographic scrapbook. It can be used to commemorate business anniversaries, successful projects or company events. Your team can use mat cutters to transform colored paper into professional-looking mats, frames and backgrounds to help photographs really pop. They can also dress up photographs or documents even more by framing them with decorative borders.

Embellish Scrapbook Pages with Stamps and Colorful Pens

Give your team an assortment of stamp sets to help them embellish their scrapbook's pages. Stamp sets comes in a wide variety of designs to complement your scrapbook's theme. Use stamps, colorful pens and markers to decorate a scrapbook as a gift for a retiring colleague. It makes a thoughtful present that offers a personal record of the retiree's career with your firm.

Cut Clutter With Storage Bins

Cut down on office clutter by ordering plastic bins to store all your scrapbooking supplies. When your staff finishes up its project, they can put the supplies inside the durable bins to keep them out of the way until next time.

Glue, Scissors & Stencils Allow Creativity to Shine

Childcare centers, schools and stores with display windows can all benefit from the use of glue, scissors and stencils. Add a fun creative spark to the office, or let your design shop's creative talents shine with the right tools.

Make Your Ideas Stick With the Right Glue

From hot melt glue guns to sticky wax, and from fabric glue to glue sticks to glitter glue, you have many choices for sticking one thing to another. Washable school glue lets children explore art without making their parents unhappy about ruined clothes, while glitter glue in bright, fun colors adds sparkle without causing a dreaded glitter explosion. Fabric glues are perfect for costume and prop shops, milliners and fabric artists. Use a Kaisercraft glue runner to complete store displays or classroom boards, and tack up signs in the office using Stikkiwax dots that are removable, reusable and nondamaging.

Good Scissors Cut Your Effort, Stress and Mess

There are almost as many varieties of scissors as there are materials waiting to be cut. Precision craft work requires the short, sharply pointed blades of precision scissors from DoCrafts. Metal-cutting hobby shears can find a home in the toolboxes of gutter installers, roofers and contractors. Teflon-coated blades on the office shears from Poppin mean you can cut through office red tape without getting gummy. Costumers, clothing designers and upholsterers can save wear and tear on their wrists by choosing curved-blade scissors that cut with twice the force (and half the effort) of straight-blade scissors. Learning to use scissors is an invaluable way for children to gain important hand-eye coordination. Confidence blooms as the child progresses from using four-handled training scissors with the teacher, through safety scissors with rounded-blade tips to a pair of child-sized scissors with pointed tips. Handi-squeeze scissors from Westcott spring open to make cutting easier for special needs children.

Stencils Make Crafting Fun and Easy

Stencils are a quick and easy way to personalize or decorate a wall, add interest to a display, or jazz up a sign. From Folk Art to Art Deco, stencils can help you express a decorative style to impress your clients and beautify the office space with little to no artistic skill required. Children can use simple, colorful stencils to practice letter shapes and manual coordination, and large-letter stencil sets can make it easy to label cabinets and provide signage in the workshop.

You Can Really Get Attached to These Staplers

You might start thinking about hiding your stapler once you've gotten a hold of one of these babies. Choose a heavy-duty steel stapler to staple up to 230 sheets at a time, or try a hand-held plier stapler for strength married to portability. A spring-powered squeeze stapler is ergonomically designed to save on wrist strain, and teachers love the standard executive stapler with a rotating anvil, which allows them to switch from stapling papers to pinning up displays on the cork board.
