Mini Layers Tool, 1 and 2, 2-Pack

I love this tool. When you lay your paper out and choose the size you want, move it up against your paper and then cut, it is the perfect size every time. I never have to guess if I got it perfect on all four sides just by eyeballing it. It is much faster than trying to guess by using just a ruler or whatever. This size has all the sizes of paper that I would use especially for my albums and etc. You will not know how you ever did without it once you buy and use it. Perfect tool for all paper crafters.

These tools are easy to use and help w/any card-making project. I like that they are shorter than the original "layers" but long enough for card making. The numbers are small but dark and easily read. Right now they are my 'go to" tool for cutting cards and matting projects.

This is a brilliant idea. For those who struggle with lining up mats, lay your picture down, select the width border, snap into place and use your exacto knife for perfect borders. Fair warning...it takes practice. You have to have a very steady hand and keep the blade exactly on the edge. A few of the lines/settings also seem not to "catch" the lip of the paper, but when this works it's genius. I revised this down to a four because the issue of it not catching has continued to be problematic. Honestly, all they had to do what make the channel to catch the paper deeper. Great idea but needs to be better executed.

I am delighted with this product. My problem has been centering a layer on top of another. It's easy to cut accurate layers but I could just not get the top layer centered. With this product you apply the top layer and then use the rulers to cut around the piece. I read that some had trouble catching the edge of the ruler on their paper. I resolved this with a piece of tape by post-it. It comes in one inch width. It is bright blue and bright yellow. It does not leave a residue on paper or photographs. By applying it right along the edge of the top layer of paper it gives just enough lift to catch the ruler firmly so you get perfect cuts every time. A nice sharp xacto blade helps too. Really pleased with the pictures I have matted today.

Works as described. I haven't had any issues with it catching the edge my card stock. The one thing I was impressed with is that there is a small metal piece that is attached to the cutting edge so that my knife runs smoothly and doesn't "catch" on the plastic.

Oh how easy to use. I was a little concerned about being able to cut a straight line with a craft knife, but the edges are easy to fit up to and then your cut is straight every time. Makes precise mats each and every time.

Great tool for creating photo mats or anything that requires enlarging by fractional sizing. It has notches in the ruler to catch on the paper your creating a mat for at the appropriate fractional size allowing you to cut with a craft knife.

I've used both of the tools numerous times since receiving them. They work great, with one drawback that I just deal with. Sometimes the layer of paper that I need to "catch" the lip of the tool on is not thick enough to do so. I just eye it up with the edge of the paper and it works fine. I'd recommend these tools and would buy them again.
