I don't have a card to share today, have taken a crafting break for the holiday! But I do have an important question.
I would love your thoughts and input on paper trimmers. I'm in need of one and would appreciate the input. I don't have a lot of space so it can't be a really big one!

So just what kind do you use?

I have used them all, Lisa. I have to say, my favourite is the new Stampin' Up one. It was just on sale too! But it is well worth the $. It is perfect for card makers.
I use a Fiskars guillotine trimmer. I love it, but it's large. About 17x14 in at its widest points
Hard decision as there are so many different ones, but I have loved my Tonic guillotine trimmer...Very accurate and there even a smaller version if space is an issue. Let us know which one you end up with!
I have the Fiskars Sure Cut 12" trimmer. Jennifer McGuire had included it in her "favorite things" post a year or two ago. Ii find the guide very helpful in cutting. I do use titanium blades.
Good luck, Lisa! I have 4 or 5 & none are as good as I'd like. I hear the guillotine are more accurate, but I like to cut 3x4 or whatever--not just the whole way down the paper. I've been using Fiskars with the Titanium blade & the silver line down the center that's supposed to show you were the blade is--not exact, though.
Sorry ....no help because I have a very big heavy metal one that I love and have had forever.
Cute mitten! I'm loving the color of the raspberry sequins!!!
I lile making memories it folds in half you can get it at hobby lobby ot cuts scores and tou can make enevlopes all in one. I love it...
I have had SEVERAL trimmers-- and my fav is the Fiskars paper trimmer. It's about 20 bucks at Michael's (and you can use a coupon to get it cheaper).... if it breaks or has a problem, you just contact Fiskars and they will send you a new one or replace what's broken (like the wire for the trimmer or the board cover). I love mine!
Hope you find a trimmer you love:)
I've tried at least 6 different trimmers. My two favorites are Stampin' UP! and Fiskars.
The SU trimmer has a long track so you can keep your scoring blade and cutting blade in the track at the same time! Very handy. Nice clean, straight cuts.
The fiskar's trimmer I like is a little bit wider and it has a wire cord down the track so you can see EXACTLY where you are cutting. I LOVE that! I use the sharper, more expensive blade with this one. I don't like the other one as well.
Good luck on your choice!
I LOVE the Fiskars card trimmer...

I also have my original Fiskars trimmer which I keep for 12" papers and for cutting portrait card bases :)

I use the fiskars with the titanium blades too! I like that they put the blades on sale regularly so you never have to pay full price! I have guillotine tonic trimmer too but don't use it much!! :)
OK, I HAD NO IDEA there was a titanium blade for the Fiskars rotary trimmer. This is HUGE! I am so frustrated with my trimmer and how it does not cut well. Just ordered a pack on Amazon. Can't wait to try it!!! Thanks for asking the question, Lisa : )
