Yesterday the UPS man carried a big box up the driveway and inside was a birthday present for me from my hubby:
a nice new Kutrimmer 1038 for cutting book board! I spent some time cutting bookboard with it today and it cuts so nice and accurately with very little effort on my part. I love it! I wish that it had arrived one day earlier though because the day before it arrived I spent a good amount of time cutting book board to make a box for a special someone…
9"x10"x3 and inside:
and I couldn't resist making a coordinating sketchbook:
I hope she likes it!











Hi –Congrats on the Kutrimmer. I’m looking to get one as well. Does it cut .098 (1/8″) Davey Board easily?
Hi Sue
Congrats on the Ideal 1038 cutter!!!! I’m definately going to order one of these. Everyone seems pleased with their results from it.
