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!

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!

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.

I initially bought a small Fiskars guillotine trimmer and quickly realized that they missed the boat on that trimmer, because it only went out to 5". You couldn't measure out 1/2 of a letter-size piece of paper. What an oversight! This We R Memory Keepers trimmer is much better designed. You can cut the 11" side of a letter-size paper perfectly in half so that you can make two A2 cards. I'm finding my cuts to be very straight and accurate. Yay!

Seems sturdy for home use. Blade is sharp.

Perfect for my Bible journaling tip ins!!

It cuts well enough but the arm/handle moves down and makes small cuts before you're ready. Considering returning for replacement. It has almost come down on my fingers when I'm adjusting paper prior to cutting from right of cutting arm/handle.

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