I finally rewatched this video and added the marks to my trimmer. Thanks.

[@karisolomon397]

I just got the email for free shipping. Thinking to get this trimmer. I have Stampin up but this CM is my backup. I have been a CM fan since 2000. Still love the tape runner.

[@coolkidsaesthetic4727]

How do you get free shipping? Free shipping will make my decision easier to get this trimmer.

[@vickiemifflin2854]

I just got my new trimmer and came back to this video to learn the tips and tricks. I have to think you are a teacher by trade because you know exactly how share what needs to be shared. The biggie for mr me was how to move from top to bottom if my paper is against the bottom of the trimmer or the opposite if lined up at the top. On the really small cuts my paper kept moving on me until I did it this way and then, no movement at all. Thank you; thank you; thank you so much. This was such a informative video.

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Hi Vickie! Yes indeed I do love to teach 😉 glad you found the tips helpful!!

[@darlene2861]

Thank you so much Lauren for demonstrating all the amazing techniques with this wonderful trimmer.

[@azwife35]

This is a wonderful video - I learned so much! Thank you. My good friend is a demo and I bought my trimmer last year from her. I told her about this video and suggested she watch it and share the info with her scrapbooking group.

[@dawnleyva4880]

I want this so much!!

[@christinelucas3313]

Thanks for the great tips. Just received my trimmer, read the info with it and watched a short CM video but still learned from this one. I have also started following your POP videos and they have really encouraged me to get back to scrapbooking. I first started using CM albums and products in 2004. I have about 15 albums and I'm trying to figure out some way to label or Identify.

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Awesome Christine! Cm does custom albums and custom album spines. They are beautiful!!!

[@nanamurf9430]

Great video, thank you!

[@susanjohnson8037]

Excellent video! Thanks 🇨🇦

[@marose6]

This is the best trimmer I own! I didn’t get all the different blades yet. I didn’t realize the blade locked or the 1/8 inch

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Sharon, I am so glad you decided to get it. And it can do so much! Always fun to learn the tips😉

[@deborahjenkins1731]

Great video, love that trimmer.

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Thanks Deborah! I do tooooo!😍❤️👏🏻

[@cindycreateforlife]

That was an excellent tutorial! 😁

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Thank you Cindy! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lisapalmese7935]

Wonderful Thank You

[@SuperCandJ]

Enjoyed watching the video! I have had the trimmer for a while now and it is the best tool ever! Wish CM would make more blades. I think I only have 5 blades.

[@karenbonnetti-ramirez6264]

Great video tutorial! Thank you :)

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@viviankendall7193]

AMAZING

[@debrayoung576]

This was perfect. My second border is perfect

[@Gfour456]

looks like a nice trimmer! I might have to order one from you!

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Haha! You will not be disappointed! This is the best (and I have used many many trimmers!😉

[@AmyDoss]

Thank you so much. Did you tell us how you put the numbers on the right side? I love how easy it is to see the numbers. I skipped some of the features... sorry if I missed that explanation.

[@bobbiannday5681]

Great video

[@sandydusza6155]

Lauren, I love your tutorials. You've inspired me to blow off the dust on my box of CCS and start using them again!

[@CraftSomeJoy]

I'm so glad! Have fun with it Sandy!

[@kellycoleman7251]

Again, wow. Went and flipped my trimmer over and discovered it had come with extra cutting and scoring blades. I just ordered a scoring blade because I didn't know I had one.

[@heykarina6890]

Hallo habe mir gerade das Video angeschaut und bin begeistert.Schade das ich den Trimmer nicht kaufen kann ich 🥲 Den in Germany kann ich ihn nicht Kaufen ich liebe Creative Memories ist aber leider in Deutschland nicht möglich zu kaufen.Aber sehr schön Presentation vielen Dank Gruß auch Germany von Karina

[@jacquiposener7262]

Really cool trimmer, Tfs. Does it come with both inches and metric measurements? Thanks

[@CraftSomeJoy]

It does! All very clearly marked👍🏻

[@sherriworonick2618]

I think that if they might consider a storage hanging option or other suggestion.

[@cmills2894]

Hello! I've been looking for a replacement trimmer, and this one looks great. I'm wondering, do you know why it is not recommended for photos?

[@CraftSomeJoy]

I have been meaning to find out the exact answer, but my guess would have to do with the coating/emulsion that is on photos and that it may dull the blade. I have always used the personal trimmer to cut photos, and find it so easy to have both at the ready😄❤️

[@cmills2894]

@@CraftSomeJoy I'm sure you are correct, it makes sense. Thank you for the reply!

[@craftecowgirl]

Have video for cutting paper tips for card making sizes?

[@SugarShineDesigns]

Hello. I have a curious problem with my trimmer. If I use the white mark for my measurements, I find it actually cuts about 1/4" further or beyond the white mark on the housing. To me this suggests my blade is too large. Have you heard of this problem before? Did I perhaps just get an off-sized blade? I've been compensating by remembering that I actually need to stop 1/4" sooner than I should per the line but that doesn't seem right. Thank you!

[@reneewaterhouse4636]

In the video it says you can cut the older smaller page protectors to fit? I didn’t know that . Do you recommend a newer blade? Thanks 14:19 love your videos !

[@yvonnejenks3111]

Thank you for a very thorough, informative video. I placed an order with Amazon, however, I did not find the replacement mat. Perhaps I am searching it by the wrong name. May I ask for your help please.

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Hi Yvonne, all Creative Memories supplies can be ordered directly from my website here: www.creativememories.com/user/laurenhinds You can find all the items I talk about on the CM website, and when you order from me, I can personally help you, and let you know about my specials! 😊

[@reneewaterhouse4636]

What do you use the numbers on the trimmer on the sides stickers from CM?

[@jamainebrasseaux1183]

I got the label maker numbers, but how do you get the dashed lines on?

[@lindazdunich2845]

Confused where a 3/8 in cut from the left side of paper is. Also where is the 5 1/2 line to left. Thank yiu

[@Syl201]

How often do you change your blade?

[@colleencornett342]

Thank you for sharing all these wonderful tips! A spectacular tutorial! I have the CM trimmer model that was before this. I'd the gray cutting mat interchangeable? Also on these different blades is their marks on the plastic housing that shows what design it cuts? Thank you for your help!

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Hi Colleen, I think the mats are slightly different from my recollection of the previous model. And yes, each blade has the cut style marking on the side of its housing... easy to see and each one is a different color!

[@colleencornett342]

Thank you for your help!

[@reneewaterhouse4636]

Looking for the taping of the trimmer the numbers

[@louwright7274]

Just watched your video. Did We R Memory Keepers quit making that trimmer? Can’t find anywhere

[@louwright7274]

Wondering the same. Can’t find it

[@ruthorner5659]

Wished you would put all this down in a book that could be emaile

[@CraftSomeJoy]

Ahhh, great idea!!

[@coolkidsaesthetic4727]

I’m reading the comments and it said free gift and shipping. Can someone tell me how?

[@gmblakemore1131]

wish had seen this before I purchased a new paper trimmer, I would have purchased this one NOT the one I actually purchased, she said with a sigh

[@CraftSomeJoy]

I have been there *sigh* yes if only... this one is a keeper! 😍

[@jamainebrasseaux1183]

I got the label maker numbers, but how do you get the dashed lines on?
