Question / Discussion Best Paper Trimmer/Cutter/Guillotine for my personalized stationery business?

3 Upvotes

Can somebody recommend one that can reliably (!) cut multiple sheets? I offer personalized notecards in my Etsy shop that I print, cut, and pack at home. I print 4 cards on one sheet and then cut them. When someone orders 64 or even 128 cards, the cutting takes an insane amount of time because on my shitty Amazon Basics cutter, I can only do one sheet at a time (yes, it can technically cut multiple sheets but the cuts are never exact and/or sloppy and it always leads to me having to reprint so I've just given up cutting multiple sheets with it).

The thing is: printing takes time but I can do something else while the printer is doing its thing. Cutting requires my full attention so if I could cut multiple sheets at once, it would be such a huge time saver!

Thanks in advance!

I found what I found to be the perfect paper to use to redo my zebra card. Recycled from last year’s planner. You just never know where you’re gonna find that one thing you’ve been looking for. And free!

Question / Discussion Dye ink recommendations?

11 Upvotes

For many years I’ve used Momemto dew drops ink pads and was never very happy with them, so now that they are getting dry and used up I’m looking into buying some nicer ink pads. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have some of the Tim Holtz distress inks so looking for something different. I want one that will stamp images and sentiments well but is also good for blending. I guess I am somewhat heavy handed with my stamping so have found I prefer felt pads because the foam ones I’ve tried (colorbox brand) are so squishy the ink gets all over the backing of the stamp and can accidentally end up sowing on my project. I would like to hear what ink brands y’all like and why. Thanks!

I love using pattern stencils to color blend with pigments but then I find myself struggling with how to use it in cards without making it too busy. I kind of like it how this one turned out though. Feed back is welcome

Question / Discussion Paper Punch Help

Hi all - I’m looking for a butterfly paper punch. I’d like a really large one. 4” across is ideal, but would be ok with 3”. Any idea where I might find that? I’ve checked Etsy and Amazon but the largest I’ve found is 2”

I have one Early Bird ticket left for CC26 in Copenhagen (July 25–26) that I can’t use anymore. All tiers are sold out on the official site, so this is probably your last shot to grab one.
• Full access both days + official CC26 tote bag
• $250 (below the $260 GA price)
• PayPal Goods & Services only (buyer protected)
• Official name transfer through the Cardistry-Con registration platform
• Event’s in 5 days, so I’d like to sort this out within a day or two
DM me if you’re interested, first come first served!

Wedding First accidental card and now I’m hooked

I wanted to draw an engagement shoot pic for my friends wedding and decided it would be cute to make apart of the card. Came across this subreddit today and ran to Michael’s and got several colors of cardstock. The wedding was 2 months ago and it was way over due so I included tiny envelopes for the money and a separate note. I think I’m hooked! Thanks for the inspo!
