Quick Tip – Label Your Trimmer Blades!

6 Oct

Welcome and thanks for stopping in! It’s time for this week’s tip, which has to do with the Stampin Up trimmer. What is it? To label your trimmer blades! Sounds simple, right? It is!

Love this paper trimmer! Save time by labeling the cutting and scoring blades on your paper trimmer and don't get them mixed up!

Why I Love The Stampin Up Trimmer

Since we’re talking about the Stampin Up trimmer today, I thought I would share a few reasons I love this trimmer. 

1. It cuts straight!!

2. It includes both a cutting blade and scoring blade!

3. The extension arm extends even beyond 12″ which is wonderful for cutting large paper. 

If you’re interested in more info about this trimmer, take a look here. 

Quick Tip – Label Your Trimmer Blades

Today’s tip is really simple. Since the SU trimmer has both cutting and scoring blades, it’s easy to get them mixed up. They are different colors, but still can be mixed up. Today’s tip – use a Sharpie marker to label ‘cut’ and ‘score’ and you won’t mix them up again!

        OK… I just finished “painting” my trimmer and I THINK I have a tip to help those that struggle with these things. It helped me a lot.

        I cut cardstock to the sizes to paint, marked it with the dimensions, and put the cardstock on the trimmer, put the ruler against it and removed the cardstock. Painted the dimension,

        This REALLY helped me!!!! And maybe it may be a help for others.

        Thanks for letting me put my two cents in!!!!

        Debbie

    Thank you for the idea of putting the lines on the trimmer but I can’t find the measurements I think you said could be found here.

    Thanks for the help!

    One of the best ideas I’ve ever seen and I can’t wait to mark my cutter. I can’t find where the measurements are, would you please direct me to where I can find them
    thanks so much I also wanted to let you know I’ve watched many videos and I enjoy the fact that you don’t add a lot of fluff wasting time on your videos, but they’re very informative.
