Hi everyone, fabulous cards from all, as always! :T

CT - bet you cant wait for your birthday now to play with all your new goodies which paper trimmer did you end up getting?


Hi Gemm85

Glad you had a good time in the Paper Mill. I ended up getting a Provo Craft Trimmer Massicot which came with a scoring blade (one of these) http://www.croppinparadise.com/provo-craft-cricut-trimmer-massicot-p-18635.html for £7.99. Have yet to use it though as it will be one of the presents I get off my boss along with the paper edgers and metal ruler, as like you I am constantly cutting plastic rulers. Have to say that hobbycraft had a poorer selection on trimmers and punches than I thought they would. Can't wait to use my new bits and pieces when I get them all back on Wednesday - all wrapped up :rotfl: . Fingers crossed it will snow again here, and I can stay at home on my birthday and make cards all day!

Just a quicky for any of you looking for steel rulers wilkos sell them for 49p, I got mine from there, just be careful though as the edges are sharp ... OH has cuts all over his hands from when he stole it .... (that'll teach him )

Dragonllew they are lovely I was wondering how you did the crimpled paper on a couple of them? did you buy it like that or use a paper crimper?
