It's finally here!

Introducing the new and improved Stampin' Trimmer! Although paper trimmers are a common crafting tool, this trimmer was designed exclusively by paper crafters for paper crafters-and because it was made by Stampin' Up!, you know it's a cut above the rest!
Features of the All-New Stampin' Trimmer

• An extra-wide 6-1/4" cutting base and an extended 14-1/2" ruler
  • The extra-wide cutting base provides a large work area and is marked in 1/4" (4 mm) increments, allowing for small measurements.
  • The right-side grid helps you measure and cut very thin strips.
  • The extended cutting arm has a stabilizing leg to provide a sturdy and steady cutting surface for longer cuts.
  • When fully extended, the extended cutting arm sits flush with the trimmer base, providing more accurate and consistent measurements across the entire surface.
  • The cutting base and track include a full ruler, incorporating measurements down to 1/16" and grid lines that mark each quarter inch.
  • All rulers and measurements on the base are printed under a plastic cover so your measurements won't wear off.
  • The base has nonskid feet, which keeps the Stampin' Trimmer securely in place on your work area.
• A full 12" cutting and scoring track
  • The extra-long cutting track has space at the top and bottom so you don't have to take the cutting and scoring blades out when you're not using them.
  • The track gives you enough space to cut or score a full 12" (30.5 cm) without having to remove or switch out handles.
  • The cutting track locks in place for secure storage or transport.
  • The track includes an insertion point for cutting and scoring blade handles so you can easily insert handles into the cutting track.
• Specially designed handles and cutting track to ensure straight cuts
  • The hook on the scoring and cutting blade handles keeps the handles stable so the cuts are as straight as possible.
  • Handles come in two colors: dark for cutting, light for scoring.
  • The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you're cutting.
  • The point on the side of each handle shows you where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin.
• Storage compartment under base
  • The storage compartment holds scoring and cutting tools such as a Bone Folder, Simply Scored Stylus, extra scoring and cutting blades, and even business cards.
  • Separate compartments within the storage compartment keep your tools organized, and the clear cover makes it easy to see what you've stored.
• Product details: item 126889; $29.95

More Christmas cards

I wanted to share a couple more Christmas cards that I have been working on.

The first one used the Snow Burst textured impressions emblossing folder and the Peekaboo Frames Bigz L Die from the Holiday mini catalog. Along with the doily triple layer and the decorative label punches from the Idea Book & Catalog.

The second cards are using the stocking builder punch and the silver & red glitter paper also from the Holiday mini catalog.

It's not too late to order supplies for you Christmas cards. Contact me today.

Another multi-page card

I loved the multi-page fall card, so decided to do it in Christmas.

Once again, disregard the mini clothespin -it's only there to hold the pages open or shut as needed for picturing.

Some of the supplies I used:

Postage stamp punch - #122344

Eyelet border punch - #119853

Doily Triple layer punch - #122465

Peekaboo frames Big Shot Die - #124587

Silver glimmer paper - #124005

(last two items are in the Holiday mini catalog)

The base cardstock is Night of Navy - it appears to be different in some of the pictures.

I hope you like this card. Please leave me a comment.
