Hi lovely crafty friends, today I have the Tim Holtz Guillotine Trimmers in the spotlight, I am a big fan of guillotine cutters and I like the fact that these trimmers come in two sizes. 

(All supplies are linked to different stores at the end of this post in the thumbnails. The different stores are also linked behind the product name. Affiliate links may be used at no cost to you.)

Today I have a short video about the Tim Holtz Guillotine trimmer, I tell why I like them and

I show you some
cool craft hacks you can do with both tools. So make sure to watch the short video to learn all about the trimmers and see the fun Craft Hacks.




First this is the Tonic Studios Tim Holtz – 8.5 Inch Comfort Trimmer ( SBC | CST | CST | TNCUK | TNC ) what I like about it
that it’s small and cute not very important but fun. It’s a nice compact size perfect for cardmakers and for crafting on the go.


It works really smooth
it’s super easy to cut with the handle with the
blade moves so easy
when you lift it up it
stays up so it doesn’t fall down on your hands.


When you are cutting always press the finger help down so the paper stays in place and you get a nice straight cut. There is also a grid on the platform that you can use to line up the paper. 



I think it’s a quarter
of an inch, I’m not sure as I am not
an inch person I am a centimeter person:-)

And there are also
measurements for cards on here so you can use that too.


It has two rulers one at the bottom and one at the top with the little ridges to line up the paper

and what I also like is
that is has the centimeter and inch size on the rulers
When you want to make a card you can line it up along the ridge on top or bottom



And then it’s big sibling the Tonic Studios Tim Holtz 12.25in / 31cm Maxi Guillotine ( CST | TNCUK | CRF | TNC | SBC ) The big guillotine is
great if you want to cut bigger pieces of paper



There is place for paperclips
and this is magnetic a cool feature I never
use but it’s there so I wanted to show you.
The big trimmer also has rulers at top and bottom and also one in the middle and all rulers are with inch and centimeters also on this trimmer.
There is also an
extension arm you can use to extend your cutter to the full oversize 12
by 12 inch making it perfect for
scrapbook papers.


When you want to store
it or for crafting on the go, you can take of the
handle and extension arm and store it underneath.




So that’s the quick post for today. Thanks for stopping by and make sure to keep on crafting!
