The scrapbook cropping tools
include the corner rounding tool, three sizes of blades, the photo
trimmer and a pair of slim scissors that are very effective for cutting
photos to fit the spacing of your layout. The
blades, in combination with the sizing
and cutting templates, are very useful for cutting your photos and
papers into the shapes and sizes you desire. Altogether, these scrapbook
cropping tools are an easy and effective system to help you complete
scrapbook page layouts quickly and efficiently.
Corner Rounding Tool
This
scrapbooking tool creates a rounded corner on your photographs reminiscent
of how photos used to come developed. This technique gives photos
an overall different framing look from the traditional square edges.
Perfect for heritage and wedding scrapbooks.
Blades
3 sizes of
blades help you to crop your photos and shape your papers in combination
with the oval and circle cutting templates. The case of each blade
is a different color which corresponds to a colored line on the
oval and circle sizing templates.
Photo Cropping Tool/Photo Trimmer
This small paper cutting apparatus is made specifically for cropping
photos. The top edge of the photo should be flush with the top edge
of the trimmer and the amount of the photo you want cut off overlapping
the right hand side of the trimmer . The photos are held firmly
in place by pressing on the narrow band at the side of the tool
near the cutting arm. The sharp cutting edge gives you a perfect
cut every time as long as the photo is held tightly in place.
It has a self-healing mat surface and has a drawer underneath the
cutting arm, handy for storing small cropping tools.
Scissors
These slim
scissors are easy to manipulate due to their size and lightweight
composition. Good applications for these scissors are cutting shapes
not possible with any of the other cropping tools.
Using the scissors is a less neat and accurate way of cutting photos
and papers compared to the precise cuts made by the photo trimmer
and the corner rounder.
