No project is too big or small for the 12" x 17" Paper Trimmer from Dress My Craft! There is one paper trimmer included that has an extendable arm and replaceable blade.
I was so anxious to get this trimmer, but then was so disappointed when using it for my Christmas cards. I especially wanted the scoring feature. I carefully scored the fold lines for my cards so they would be folded in half. Yes, I do know how to read a ruler, but the fold line was off by at least 1/8", which doesn't sound like much until the two edges don't meet after folding.
Had this happened on one or two cards, I would blame it on user error, but not forty cards! And each card had two folds, so there is definitely a problem since neither fold came out right.
Secondly, it makes a very rough edge when it cuts. I have other trimmers that leave a smooth edge. I was hoping this one would be the same. It isn't.
If I could return this trimmer, I definitely would!
unfortunately i do not like this trimmer very much the plastic piece that holds the blade does not open very well and the arm extension is not very smooth.
I have other paper trimmer's but I really like this one best. I am able to cut and score at the same time. the measurements are spot on, the extension arm is great for 12x12 paper. It came fairly quickly and it's my new go to paper cutter.
I absolutely love this trimmer. It is sturdy, cuts smoothly and the markings are easy to read. The track the blade is in seems to resist any wiggle and therefore, the cuts are straight. Definitely recommend.
Like the cutting area (6") before opening extension arm. Measurements are easy to read. Also purchased replacement blades.

Does this paper trimmer have a slightly "raised edge" on the extender handle, that will stop your paper and allow you to cut your paper at 6 inches? Without actually having to measure it?

Does your 12" x 17" paper trimmer have replacement blades? If so, where can replacement blades be purchased? Are blade cartridges the same as Stampin Up! replacement blades? How much are replacement blades? How many blades in a package?

Yes, you can find the replacement blades by searching on our site for dmc-dmct4427 and you can find more information on that product page. We hope this helps.

I am looking for a paper cutter that has a hinge built in to it that allows me to lift up the ruler part and lay the paper on the measuring platform. And a blade that is a tiny triangular blade built into the sliding portion of the cutter. Is this that kind of cutter? I am trying to replace a very old cricket cutter that looks much like this. Thank you

I believe it is! It has an “arm” on the left which is a ruler that you can lift up or slide out. That will give you 12 inches on the top as well. I just live this cutter. It also has the tiny triangular blade built into the sliding portion of the cutter. And it also has a scoring blade built into the same sliding portion of the cutter.

Yes, the trimmer has a white blade that can be used for scoring and comes with the trimmer when you purchase it.
