ColorCuttersŪ are one of the coolest, most versatile tools to hit the scrapbook industry! These archival safe, pigmented markers have a surgical stainless steel blade in the center of the chisel tip, allowing you to cut, crop and color the edges of your photographs and all sorts of paper from vellum to cardstock. They will allow you to mat your photographs and journaling in a fraction of the time - and add a real creative dimension to your pages, cards, tags and a variety of paper crafts! TWO IMPORTANT TIPS: Hold the entire chisel tip of the marker flat against a scrap piece of paper and press down and pull towards you until you can feel the blade engage and begin cutting. Some people press so lightly, they never engage the blade the first time. Others will pull the ColorCutterŪ sideways and the blade becomes tilted and can't cut the paper. Always hold the tip flush against your cutting surface and pull towards you, turn your paper and pull towards you, so you have better control. They are easy and fun to use and they last for a long time.
