Cutting Pictures and Paper

Ok, Im VERY NEW at this and im not sure at all how to do this but... I need to no what is the best way to cut pictures and paper? I have seen a circle cutter before but i have bought it cuz it only cuts circles, i did buy something that looks like a exacto knife though. Its difficult. Is there another type of tool i can use that is easy to use and can cut MANY different sizes and shapes. PLEASE!!!!! I NEED SOME HELP!!!!!!!!!

i have a provo craft zision paper trimmer from Hobby Lobby, it is hot pink and lime green and it was on sale for $4 but regular price it is like $6.99...I am getting the cutter bee rotary trimmer

There are numerous things you can purchase to cut numerous shapes.....Just depends on what you want.

Here's just a few:

Just starting out, I'd recommend some kind of trimmer, like the Fiskars one linked to above.

If you already have an X-acto knife, you can always use that with a straight edge/ruler.

You just got to get a paper trimmer. I have the Fiskars one that is diplayed in the previous post. I use it on everything, could not scrap without it!!The Fiskars one is under $20, I actually got mine cheaper than that. I crop my pictures, paper for layouts, cards, many things.

I'm a Fiskars cutter gal too. I use it all the time. Exacto knives and I are not good friends...I use them only for hard to get at places when cutting out intricate shapes (which I mess up half the time). I have a circle cutter and I really like that. I love the border punches too. There are some pretty designs I like Fiskars threading water.

I use a photo trimmer that is made by Fiskars to trim my photos and smaller pieces of cardstock, etc. I use a large paper cutter that is made by Making Memories for cutting 12 x 12 sheets of paper.

I also use the Creative Memories cutting system to cut my photos into different shapes.

I'm a Fiskars gal myself. I use the paper trimmer to crop pictures and cut paper. Fiskars has a wide variety of border and corner punches.

Paper Trimmer--I use it ALLLL the time! It's definitely a life saver and worth the 10-15 bucks!!

Fiskars Paper Trimmers Are The Best...I also have the Cricut Expressions and I use that all the time

I'm actually not a Fiskars fan when it comes to paper trimmers, but I love the MM one.

Invest in a 12" paper trimmer. I bought a $15 Fiskars trimmer and had no problems with it. Lasted me 4 years before I needed a replacement which I jsut bought.

Yes a 12 x 12 paper trimmer!!! It's my best friend!! LOL

I am just starting out and i mainly use the Fiskar also. Now, my sis-n-law bought me an Exacto knive that fits around my knuckle. I really like it to cut out designs. It's alot easier than a regular exacto knife. I also have both cricuts. Rarely use either.
