Hey DIYers,

The awesome team at Envelopments have teamed up with me to give away a JIGster tool (retails for $69.95) to 3 DIY Bride readers.

The JIGster: Perfectly Aligned Layers Every Time

For those of you who’re making layered invitations, programs, menus, table numbers, seating/escort cards, etc. this is truly a MUST HAVE tool. With the JIGster you’ll create perfectly spaced layers each and every time.

I reviewed it not too long ago here.

As I often mention in these pages I am a hopeless gadget queen. If it’s new, bright and shiny I gotta get my hands on it because I’m always on the hunt for cool tools that make the lives of us creative (and not-so-creative) types much easier.

The swell folks at Envelopments sent me their new tool called JIGster.  A jig, for those of you not familiar with the term,  is a guide to help with exact placement of objects. In the case of the JIGster it helps invitation designers (that’s you!) perfectly align layers of paper/cardstock for each and every invitation you create.

I adore this tool. Seriously, this is on my top 10 list of all-time favorite craft tools. I create several hundred (thousands? yeah, probably) of layered invites, programs, menus, and other papery goodness every year so I can say with some authority how much trying to get uniform alignment really sucks. The JIGster made a recent project a total no-brainer and cut down production time significantly. My crafting minutes are very limited these days so that in and of itself made the tool totally rock in my book.

The JIGster allows you to create standard border widths (the amount of area showing between the edges of the layers) of 1/8”,  1/4”, 3/8” ,  1/2”, 3/4”,  and  1”. The unit itself is pretty compact, about 12″ x 12″, making it easy to store in your craft space. It’s made of heavy plastic, is easy to use, and will last forever.

The price for this baby is $69.95. In my estimation it’s well-worth the price for the quality, ease of use, and functionality. Buy here.
