Hello there and welcome to Employee
Product of the Week. My name is Lori and
I am going to tell you about my favorite trimmers of all time. The Tonic Guillotine trimmers! They come in 2 sizes, the 12” small base and
the 6”trimmer, suitable for travel and card making.
I started seriously scrapping in 2001
after the birth of my daughter. I
started off with a relatively cheap trimmer from the big box store. I quickly became very frustrated with
it. If you don’t use the exact same
pressure all the way down the paper it cuts crooked, if you aren't using a new
blade every other day, it comes out crooked.
I felt like I was getting ripped off constantly buying new blades. I would buy them in bulk so that I would
always have new ones available. I was
spending so much money!
Years of
frustration pass…. there must be a better trimmer out there! A trimmer that cuts straight and doesn't need
new blades all the time. Enter the
Tonic. I wasn't working for Scrapdoodles
at the time, but I came in searching for an end to my trimmer problems. I found the Tonic Trimmer and fell in
love. It doesn't require replacement
blades or sharpening. The detachable arm
makes measuring 6” - 12” cuts a breeze.
Plus as an added bonus, the arm stores underneath along with the handle
to make for easy packing so you can bring the Tonic with you wherever you
scrap! The blade arm will not cut you, I
have tried! I have kids at home and
safety has to come fist because my scrapbooking area is not childproof! I have personally had the 12” trimmer for
about 5 years, maybe 6. It is my
faithful and trusted companion that I cannot scrapbook without.
The smaller 6” trimmer is perfect for
the card maker and the photo cropper. It
has all the same wonderfulness (is that a word?) that the larger one has. It cuts straight every time and does not
require replacement blades either. You
cannot go wrong with a Tonic! Stop by
the store and let me show you how great they are.
