We R Memory Keepers Mini Guillotine Paper Trimmer – Blue, Compact Paper Cutter, 1/4-Inch Grid for Precision Cutting, Cuts Up to 3 Sheets, Perfect for Card Making, Journals, and Small Craft Projects

Long time paper crafter here. I wanted to buy a guillotine paper trimmer this time around for my 12 inch paper and cardstock. I went with this model because We Are Memory Keepers has been around in the paper crafting world for a long time. So far I’ve been loving it! The blades are sharp. It’s easy for me to make my cuts and measure sizes accurately. It’s been functioning just as I need it to. It’s remarkably light which doesn’t bother me. It makes it easier for me to move it from its stash spot to my workspace.The only thing I would have liked to be different is how the handle/upper blade locks into place. You have to pull it slightly out to the right of the machine. I wonder if that will affect the closeness of the two blades over time?…. I would have preferred some sort of latch lock instead. But overall - loving it! Hope that helps!

Great and affordable cutter and is as described. I do recommend buying a bigger size though.

We use this for scrapbooking and other paper cutting. It works great and is a good size unless you’re cutting full pages. Cuts straight, lightweight, slim.

My fave photo trimmer

Seems sturdy for home use. Blade is sharp.

So to start off, I am your typical do it your self, "at home" craft type of person. With that being said, I absolutely suck at cutting straight lines. Like to a point where I ruin pictures all the time because I end up cutting them 50 times before I get the lines straight. I am also very OCD. So this doesn't help that factor. So I decided to make my bf a scrapbook of a timeline of our relationship so far(he's into that mushy stuff). A few days in, I realized I suck and need a papercutter. I considered many other options. I also wanted something that I could throw in my bag and use for work too. I am a marketer and always am making cute things for the people I work with. This product came and literally I use it almost daily. It is small enough to fit perfectly in my drawer and light enough that I can take it anywhere with me. I cuts perfectly every time and the handle isn't heavy in the sense if you drop it too soon, it won't cut off what ever you are cutting. I can't say enough good things about this item. It holds an entire price of computer paper. It cuts through thick and thin, paper, cardstock, cards, photos. I haven't used to too much with multiple pages at once. It's quick and easy so I just don't find that I need to. I'm not sure if it would do well with multiple pages. But for what I use it for, it works great!

I wanted something smaller on my table for cutting cards and mats but I did not find it to always be accurate so I returned to my large cutter

I've had a multitude of paper trimmers under $100 that just don't make a straight cut and it is SO frustrating! I'm a Team Designer for a product company and my cards HAVE to be accurate and precise so I've been on the hunt for a trimmer that can live up to my expectations. I'm happy to say that This Is IT! This one cuts straight and I am thrilled! If you've been looking for an accurate paper trimmer, look no more. You have finally found it! =) Happy Crafting!
