Xyron Stocking Stuffers for Scrapbookers

Christmas is coming and that means stocking stuffers. Do you have a scrapbooker to buy for who is getting sick of glue sticks in their stocking? Here are a few ideas of things any crafter would love to find on Christmas morning. They're all made by Xyron, a company known for delivering high quality products. And everything on our list is under $25 so you'll be able to get a gift without breaking the bank.

• Adhesive Eraser Cube. If your favorite scrapbookers has a sticker maker, they'll love this tool. Inevitably when using as sticker maker or even plain glue to adhere items to a page, excess adhesive seeps out from underneath. Use this item to delicately rub off the extra glue without tearing fragile materials.

• Mounting Tape. This is essential for scrapbooking or any other paper crafting. Using this type of tape is a much cleaner way to attach pictures and accents to a page than traditional glue. The acid-free, non-toxic adhesive is safe for photos and won't yellow with age.

• Sticky Spots. These are another convenient way to adhere items. The round adhesive dots are designed to strongly attach. Sticky Spots are a great way to attach embellishments such as buttons, die cuts, and more.

• Adhesive Runner. A sticky runner such as this works by applying a narrow row of adhesive. This one boasts of ergonomic design and a dot matrix pattern, which prevents the stringing seen with other runners.

• Create-A-Sticker 150. This fun little device is shaped like an "X" and is only about 4" tall. All you have to do is slide in a small photo or embellishment 1.5" or less and pull the other end of the adhesive until your item is completely through. This is a great gift in tandem with the eraser cube to get rid of excess glue on the finished product.

For Use With the Creatopia:

• Border Patterns Starter Kit. This kit works in conjunction with the Xyron Creatopia Laminator. Simply release and remove the laminator component and snap this cartridge in to create beautifully embossed patterns on any paper from craft to cardstock up to 65lb.

• Border Patterns. The starter kit comes with a floral border design but several others are available as well. Choose from scalloped, stars, hearts, and dots.

• Cutz Cartridges. The starter kit for this didn't make the cut of under $25 but the cartridges make a great stocking stuffer for a scrapbooker who already has this. This system also snaps in after the laminating part has been removed. It makes cuts wherever you want and the various cartridges offer designer edging. This system is great for trimming down paper, making uniform strips, and decorating the edges. The various additions can make straight cuts, score, perforate, scallops, waves, and even postage stamp and deckle designs.

Each of these items are great scrapbooking tools. And with Xyron, you'll know you're getting a quality product. Now that you know what to get, it's time to go shopping!
