Paper Cutter

We all have a Paper Cutter but I still get asked how do I read my Cutter Wow there are so many ladies out there just like me. Its nice to not be the only one and its very refreshing to hear I am not the only one. I receive a lot of phone calls or emails Teresa how do I find 5/8" or 1/8" on my cutter so many of my cards I do in cm but from time to time I do it in inch and I will admit I had this issue for a long time, I hope by putting this on my blog that you will not have this issue with measurements.

So lets start 1"_1/16"_1/8"_3/16"_1 1/4"_5/16"_3/8"_7/16"_ 1/2_9/16"_5/8"_11/16"_ 3/4"_13/16"_7/8"_15/16"_2"
Starting on 1 inch to the 2 inch each little mark is as the chart above and this is the same for 2" to 3" and 3" to 4" and so on.

Your Cutter is really one of the most important Stampin Up tools you will invest in.

The arrow on cutter blade.

line up on cutting blade arrow at 1 1/4" on the cutting arm press down and cut from the 1 1/4" to 6 1/4" now the trick is to flip the card over.

Make sure you have FLIP card over for cutting other side.

(DO NOT turn the card to cut other side because you get the wrong cut on the side)


So once your cut your first slit flip card over and line up edge to 1" and cut to 6 1/4"

Next step

Make sure you starting at 1 1/4 end put in cutter score at 1 1/4" (just between the two cuts)

move along to 2 1/4" and score (just between the two cuts) and move along to the 3 1/4" and score (just between the two cuts)

Now move along to 4 1/4" BUT this time you will score the WHOLE card

then score at 6 1/4" (just between the two cuts)
