Creative Memories thinks of everything!

We all know how great the CM trimmers work, but it even has wonderful storage on its bottom side. Now I don’t have to hunt for decorative blades or a replacement straight blade when I need one. They all fit on the bottom storage area! So do the Multi-Purpose Tool and the Lifter Stick! Brilliant!

CM thought of everything!

We all know what a great trimmer Creative Memories makes, but one bonus feature that I love is the storage on the bottom of the trimmer. Now I don’t have to go hunting for my decorative blades or go hunting for a new blade when it’s time to replace the old one. There’s even room for the Multi-Purpose Tool and Lifter Stick under there! Amazing!

I have used the same cutter for 10 years and thought it was the best, just bought this and can’t believe I waited so long. This cuts like butter and many pages at a time. Exceeded my expectations!!

I love it. I love the larger base. No more guessing where 5 1/2” is. This trimmer cuts slivers like no other trimmer ever. And the cutting strip is ingenious. It’s easy to change blades. This is a great trimmer!

The trimmer cuts perfectly straight! As a card maker I am loving the straight cuts, no more trimming with the scissors.

Awesome Updates!!

I love that I don't have to bring the arm of the trimmer out to make a 6 in cut and I also love that the fractions are written at the top of the trimmer. My favorite thing is that I don't have to replace all my blades because they all fit!!

BEST trimmer ever!

This new trimmer has markings that make it easy to cut paper and photos to the exact size you need. The base can cut up to 6” without having to extend the arm to 12”. Measurements are fine tuned to 1/8”. The blade housing makes it easy to change style of blades, which can be easily stored on the back of the trimmer. There is also a place to store your multi-purpose tool, an extra mat strip and a lifter stick for those tiny pieces. I have been using CM tools for over 28 years and this is the BEST trimmer ever. ♥️

Fabulous Upgrade

I'm enjoying the new trimmer. It takes the guesswork out of measurements ending in 8ths and 16ths.

So Love This Upgrade!

I loved my 12 inch trimmer, but the thought that this would take up less room in my workspace was why I went ahead and ordered it! I am so happy I did. I love being able to make cuts up to 6 inches without swinging the arm out!

Much Improved!

I had a new customer at my beginner's class. She was having a hard time with my older version trimmer cutting all the way through. I had her try the new 12-inch trimmer, and she is "sold" on it. It's next on her wish list!
