I’m the one who asked you to do this tutorial, thank you! No one has ever done anything I’ve asked for before. I feel so special now!❤I may have to buy a new one and make sure I use it on my self-healing mat.
Awww, Lee, your are special to me since you were the first person to ask for a tutorial from me on this channel so of course I had to do it 😁👍 Thank you for being here and Happy Crafting, Dear! 😊💖
Thank you both for this video. I didn't know I need this in my life until just now. 🙂🥰
@@charliem6335 you're so welcome, Charlie! Glad to help! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Thank you for asking about this cutter. I need this in my life!
Thanks for requesting this, I didn't know such a thing existed and it's AMAZING
These are great. I’ve never used one but I’ve watched plenty of videos!
This looks great- much easier to use than I thought! There are replacement blades for it so you don't have to buy a whole new cutter each time the blade gets dull.
Yeah I know lol.. Just thought it would be easier to order a new one for the shareable link and packaging 😁💖.. Thanks for watching! Happy Crafting!
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory Good point and good idea! I had googled it to see if there were blades available, because I didn't want to get one if it meant I had to buy a new one each time. But with replacement blades available that's much better! Thank you for the demo- much easier than it first appears to be.
I totally have one too, and it’s been sitting in a drawer. So glad I found you!
I'm glad you found me too, Kate! 😊 Have fun!
Just about to consign mine to the charity box before I watched this, so thanks.
No problem 😁Glad to help.. Happy Crafting! 💖
You helped me so much!! I was about to throw it away - now I am in love ❤ Ty!!
I'm so glad you're enjoying it now! It's a very fun tool to have in your arsenal 😁👍 Thank you for watching and commenting! Happy Crafting! ❤️
Thank you because I just purchased one and was getting ready to send it back! lol thanks again

I’ve been looking at these for ages on fb but wasn’t sure if they worked ok . Thank you for the tutorial
You are so very welcome! Glad to help 😁💖 Happy Crafting!

Thanks for sharing❤❤
@@mariarivas9572 you're so welcome, Maria! Happy Crafting! ❤️
Tools like this have been available as long as I can remember. I have one since the 70’s. They were sold in art stores. They are metal and are Exacto brand with replaceable blades. I was a commercial artist and used it to cut film from an acetate backing. I never could get the hang of using it and preferred a fixed blade. I still have it today.
I have probably 5 Exacto knives right now, one of which was my father's from the 60s lol.. I just can't twist my wrist in some ways to get the same smooth round cuts that this does for me... There's a whole generation out there that don't know about things like tape recorders and dial phones land lines lol.. We gonna educate those youngins! Lol Thanks for watching and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Strange that I never saw one in the large art store we have, over the last forty-five years. I'd have bought one the first time I saw it. Now I'm going to have to go visit the shop and hope I can stop myself from spending too much money there. Thanks a lot.
I love poodles. Thank you for this little guide!
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching! 😁💖Happy Crafting!
I enjoyed learn about thos tool thanks
You're welcome, Steven 😊 Thank you for watching! 😁💖
I may be able to stop purchasing a lot of dies if these work as easily as you make them look!! Thanks for sharing!!
No problem, Liane! Good luck and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Nice video, it works!
Thanks for watching! 😊Yes it does work very well and I hope you give it a try! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Thank you for this demo and lesson. I ordered 2 of these a while back and I didn’t know how to use it..didn’t know about not using glass mat. You rock! And thank you requester.
You're welcome, Joseph! Glad I could help! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
I just found you today. I sure needed to see this video 2 years ago! TYSM for showing how to use this. 🤗
You're so welcome! Glad you got some use from it 👍😁 I'll be making new videos after the new year as well.. Happy Crafting! 🤟🏻😃
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory Looking forward to seeing more of your videos in the new year! 🤗
You're blowing my mind right now. Awesome!
Thank you, Jennifer! Have a great weekend! 😁💖
Thank you very much. Immediately I bought one, ☺️😘😘😘😘😘
You're very welcome! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
I love your honesty 😍😍😍
Awww thank you so much 😊 One thing you'll never get from me is sugar coating.. If I don't like something, I'll tell you lol.. Thanks for watching and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Thanks for the video. I bought this tool years ago and could never figure out how to use it. Luckily I didn’t throw it away so now I’m going to pull it out and try it again!
You're so welcome, Marlene! Glad I could help 😁💖 Happy Crafting!
I had no clue this little tool existed and will actually be so useful to me. Thank you!! ❤️
Glad to help! Thank you for watching! 😁💖 Happy Crafting!
I have never heard of this. It looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!!!
You're so welcome, Althea! Thanks for watching and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Thank you so very much for this tutorial. I HATE fussy cutting because I always make a mess of it. LOL
You're so welcome, Gemini! I'm always looking for an easier way to fussy cut since I'm garbage at it too! ✂️🤣💖
Thanks for watching! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Great tool !!!
There is also the "swivel-finger-blade" from Fiscars, which might be easier to use for some people.
I've been wanting one of those for some time now, maybe I'll give it a shot in a video 🤔.. Thanks for watching and commenting! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
No way!...I need this ASAP😱😍❤️
And the winner for the best comment is.. Tamy! Lol... When I saw it on line, I thought the same thing! Thanks for watching, Tamy! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory 🤣🤣🤣 you are too funny.
Loved the tutorial btw!.
I have a baby and sometimes is hard for me to sit, relax and watch a video, so that's the first thing that came out of my mouth 🤣.
Thanks for sharing love ❤️
Great demonstration. I've had this tool for a couple of years and I couldn't get the hang of it, so I put it alway. I will have to try it again. Thanks.
Thank you, Gloria! I hope you're successful this time and have loads of fun! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Thx!! I didn’t know about these.
You're so welcome! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Fantastic tool I 💖 it
Thank you for watching, Linda! It's a real money saver, that's for sure! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Looks good! I read a bunch of comments. I wonder if people who had a hard time using the tool were using it on a hard surface. Perhaps the self-healing cutting mat is the secret to success.
I can honestly say it makes a huge difference.. I've done it on a glass mat and not only did the paper slip around but it dulled my tool.. The cutting mat is the only way to go! Lol
Thanks for your comment, Mara! 😁💖
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory Welcome 🤗
Thank you! I saw this on another video (didn’t watch that one) but yours was featured today, so I couldn’t pass up watching it. While I have a Cricut, I don’t want to invest in dies or die-cutting machines, & I don’t think there’s a way to have my Cricut fussy cut out specific images from ready-made items, so I definitely want to try this. I think the biggest challenge for me will be ensuring I can see where I need to cut as I go - seems to possibly obscure sight line but of course you were looking at yours at a different view. Thanks again! 🙂🙂
Thank you, Ellen, for watching and you're right when you say I'm looking at the paper from a side angle and not top down.. It's like holding a pen in that your hand is holding it straight up and down (the pen point, not the handle)... Paper crafting isn't a cheap hobby but fortunately we can find ways of doing things that still look great with out the high price tag lol... Thanks again! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory You’re welcome! Thanks & have a great day!
@@ellen-marie6692 you too, hun! 😊
Looks so helpful definitely going to need to get!
It's an amazing little tool! I highly suggest it! 😁💖
Thanks so much for sharing, I appreciate it! Hugs!
You're welcome, Maria! Happy to help! 😁💖
Just found your channel and subscribed! How great is this little tool. I have arthritis in my hands (elsewhere also!) and have pain when fussy cutting with scissors (can't afford a Cricut or have the space). I love junk journaling and this will be perfect for making embellishments for tags and ephemera. Will order one now. Really appreciate you sharing with us x
Linda, we sound like twins! These are all the same reasons I use it also... So glad I can help! Thank you for watching and commenting! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Thank you! I, along with a few other commenters, have this tool as well. I would watch the videos and it "looked so easy" to use, but for me I could not make it work! Today, I will give it a try again and see how it goes.
I wish you well on your attempt, Gloria! I hope it works super for you and you make bunches of cool things! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory I certainly will and that's what I'm aiming for.
Wow it’s like a handheld cricut machine!
Just way way cheaper lol... Thanks for watching, Amanda! 😊💖
Thank you! This seems so simple, but I got one and couldn’t get it to work either. Maybe it’s the mat. I will get mine out and try it again!
Thank you for the tutorial. This is awesome
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching, Marta! 😊
What an amazing tool!!
It's great for stickers asks templates! Thanks for watching!! 😊💖
I have one of these and have never used it. Hmm I'm thinking I need to dig it out and give it a try. Thanks for the video.
You're so welcome, Laura! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I’ve been considering buying one & your review has convinced me to get it. Thank you again & I’ve just subbed up to your channel. 🥰
Hello, Flor! So glad you were inspired! Thank you for the sub and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Watched for the info, subscribed for your cool vibes! 💖
Awww thank you so much! Welcome to the channel! 😁💖
The blade kind of reminds me of the old Coluzzle blades. I'm showing my age, aren't I? :-)
😂 They do look like those, don't they? Kinda work the same way too lol.. Wonder if they still make them 🤔.. I think we're in the same age boat! Ooops! 🤣 Thanks for watching, Lisa! Happy Crafting! 😊💖
I saw them being demonstrated at a craft show and I tried it while the demonstrator was busy with another customer. I just couldn't manage it at all, but then I realised the other customer was enthralled, because the demonstrator gave them an adhesive mat that came in a kit they were selling and it worked better for her than for me. So the total amount was too expensive for me so I passed. I always wanted to try it again, maybe one day!
That's why I say to use a self healing cutting mat 😁 it won't dull the blade and it's easier to grip the paper and turn it if need be.. Hope this helps alittle.. Thank you for watching and commenting! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
I got one and it certainly didn’t work like
That! I thought was trash.
@@dinarinehart557 some practice and patience, Dina... Just like anything else that's worth doing 😉... Thanks for watching and maybe one day you'll try again? Happy Crafting 😁💖
Hi, my first though was curiosity and then it changed to Wow! I have a Cricut Maker but this too you have seems ideal for cutting out parts from magazines quickly.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
It's great for that and so much more lol... Thanks for watching, Ann! 😁Happy Crafting!
Thanks I have one but didn’t know how easy it was! Off to try! New subscriber
You're so welcome, Kimberly 😊 Welcome to the channel! Happy Crafting!! 😁💖
never heard of these - I think I may have use for it. Thanks for the video.
I had never heard of them either until I was looking on Amazon for Scrapbooking tools.. Kinda blew my mind lol.. Happy Crafting, Hana! 😁💖
I have this tool. I'll have to dig it out and give it another try. Thanks for the video.
You're so welcome, Catherine! If you have any problems, let me know! I'll do what ever I can to help 😊 Thanks for watching and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Just came across your video. This might be good for fussy cutting.
Hello, Doris! It's awesome for fussy cutting! Especially those little pieces that scissors can't get to, it's great! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend! 😁💖
that was exactly what I needed , thank you so much
You're so welcome, Michaela! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
I have seen these before and thought, “I need this” but have never bought it. They are $14.99 on Amazon, so. I got me one.
Yaaaay!! Yeah I originally got mine for $8 then I put out my video and the price went up lol... I'm such a price trend setter 🤣.. At least they aren't $350 like a Cricut lol.. Have fun, Jana! 😁💖
Just ordered mine! Thanks for sharing. 🙇
Your are so welcome, Ginette! Happy Crafting! "😁💖
Where was this video when I bought mine? I could not work the blasted thing, so I threw it in the bin!! Probably would have helped if I'd seen this first lol
Awww.. I wish you had seen it too.. Thanks for watching it now tho 😁👍 Maybe you can get another one and try it out lol.. Thanks again and Happy Crafting! 😊💖
Sings to myself … I don’t need another tooool. 🎵🎶
LOL🤣 Rayne, you are hilarious!! Thanks for watching and making me laugh!! 😂💖
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory lol 😂 you are welcome and I watched every bit of it. Was really relaxing. Can you show us how you make it into a sticker?? I love mushrooms too. They are fascinating and beautiful to me.
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory I in fact bought that tool with the cutting mat. 😂 😮 I’m eyeing that book too. 😉
@@Raynecolwell I actually did show how to make stickers on my last live stream but I guess it would make a good video too 🤔.. 😊Sure, why not?
Thank you so much for this tutorial
You're so welcome, Jasmine! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching! 😁💖
Can I fly to wherever you are for a lesson? 😂😂😂. I have one of these and have watched many tutorials. Yours is the best one yet. That said, I still can’t get it to work smoothly to cut around curves the way you do. I haven’t a clue what I am doing wrong, maybe too much pressure? Thank you for the inspo and perhaps someday I’ll learn whatever magic you clearly already have.
Hello, Mel... Lol... I wish I could do that for everyone who's still struggling with it even after watching my video.. Unfortunately my studio isn't big enough! 😂
Here's alittle tip about going around curves.. Don't don't don't tilt it when you start into a curve.. It's only going to skip out of the groove you've started and frustrate you.. Keep it at a 90° angle at all times and keep going at the same pressure. Btw, I'm going to do a follow up video on this to answer a bunch of questions and I'll be trying it out on a Cricut sticky mat! We'll see how that works out! 🤣Thank you for your questions and I hope to see you at the Live Stream later today! Love ya! 😁💖
oh that would be so handy for so many things!
It's like a little hand held CriCut that doesn't have to be plugged in lol
Very nice!!!
Thank you, Emily! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
It's like a cricut blade... I wondered about it...thanks
Your so welcome! 😊 Glad I could help 😁 Happy Crafting!
Wow this is awesome!
Thank you so much, L!! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
I bought one of these about a Yr ago as I have fibromyalgia and my hands get very sore but I found it difficult to use, I don't know if I just need more practice or if I'm doing it wrong but I will have to try again now I've watched ur video x
I've got fibro too so my suggestion is don't hold it too tightly just firmly.. And with fibro don't use any thing for too long because at you know you'll regret 3 days later.. What I do is one page of fussy cuts, take a break, another page, take a break.. so on and so on... Even if I can only get thru half a page, I'll take a break.. This is supposed to be fun not torture lol.. Just hold it like a pen and your going to be fine... Best of luck and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Another fibro person here. I have this cutter and was struggling with it. I think using it with a self healing mat is the key.
I do have an exact cutter that swivels 360 degrees and I love that .
And I agree, doing a little and then taking a break is so important when you have fibro.
@@teresahiggs4896 it really is important to use the mat since it has less resistance to the pressure and you don't have to press so hard... Thanks, Teresa! Happy Crafting! 😊💖
I found your channel, like the name!!, love the tutorial and subscribed!
Thank you so much, Linda!! Welcome to the channel and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Why have I never heard about this tool....lol just ordered me one.
I was trying to find something that worked like the Cricut but didn't cost like it lol POW! There it was! Lol... So glad you found value here! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
I've had one for over a year - have never been able to get it to cut right. Every time I come across a video showing how to use it, I dig it out and give it a try. I'll try again today... I thought my original problem was trying to cut paper that was too thin.. and my blade just seems to turn too fast and doesn't give an accurate cut. I was very disappointed after watching so many videos... thanks for you tutorial...
Well I hope it works for you this time! I think the mat makes all the difference tbh.. Go slow, use enough pressure and good luck! Thank you for watching and Happy Crafting! 😁💖 (let me know how it goes ok?)
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory How hard do you have to press?
@@MarciEllsworth it depends on the thickness of the paper and if you want to cut all the way thru.. I originally bought mine to cut out stickers but leave them on the backing so you would only have to peal them off the sheet.. That takes a light touch versus cutting all the way thru to make just a free piece.. It's not that hard really as long as it's used on a mat and doesn't get dull..( Of course it will get dull over time but not as quickly) Just play around with it on different paper and see how it works before you use it on anything of value lol.. Some people are heavier handed than others.. The important thing to remember is to hold the piece down closely where your cutting so it doesn't tear your picture.. Again it's gotta be sharp and on a mat to work properly but it does work great! Hope this answers your question but if not let me know, I'm happy to help! Happy Crafting, Marci! 😁💖
Me too!!! I bought one last year and had no idea how to use it!! After this video, I'll definitely give it a go. Good luck with yours too.
Never seen this amazing little gadget before! Thanks for the great demo! Ordered…should arrive tomorrow! ❤
Wow, this video blew up for you. Congratulations. I've seen so many ads for this product and wondered if it worked. Can you fussy cut with it? It looks the the line of sight wouldn't work. And so much better than the cost of a Cricut. PS my library has one. Maybe there is access to one near you?
Thank you, Carla! Actually the line of sight is just like if you're writing with a pen or pencil.. What you are seeing in this video is just the camera angle.. Yes, I fussy cut with mine all the time and it works especially well in magazines 😁👍
Unfortunately I never leave my house so I have no clue if there's even a library near me, but that is a great idea for others of they want to pursue that avenue.. Thank you again, Carla!! Happy Crafting!! 😁💖
😮Thankyou mine is sitting on desk tried and failed but will try again now 🎉😻
You're welcome, Penny.. I hope this helps 😊 if you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask 😁💖 Happy Crafting!
Thank you! I too have one of these and have not had any success with it!! Thought maybe it's because I'm left-handed - got to blame something, right? Anyway, I will go back and retry this. Thank you so much!!
You're so welcome, Marianne! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
(If you're still having problems afterwards, please check out yesterday's live stream, where I show how to use it up close and not from a top view but a side view 😊👍)
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory Where can I find this?? Thank you!!

I guess I need to get mine out and give it another go.
I hope I was some help to you 😊 Thanks for watching and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Looks great! Just wondering if the head above the blade blocks your vision of where you’re cutting?
Thank you for asking, Jane! Not really since I'm not looking straight down at it (that's just the camera angle) I'm looking at it the same way as if I'm writing, if that makes sense lol it's really quite easy to use and doesn't take alot of grip or bearing down which is great for those of us with arthritis or RA.. Thanks for the compliment and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory k
Many thanks broh
You're so welcome and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
I can split a hair with an x-acto knife. Who needs a crickit. Who needs a knife you need to get a new one when it gets dull. Buy x-acto blades in 100 blade packs pennies per blades. You can get small cutting boards at Dollar Tree. I got 2, glued them back to back and put it into my tool box. Comes in handy. Why double up on the boards? To give them more strength so they will not snap.
You're absolutely correct, Jane, who needs A Cricut when you have these types of less expensive tools. I only use exacto knives for trimming something straight because my wrist doesn't contort the way it should to get smooth curves when fussy cutting for prolonged periods of time... And many people with RA or arthritis have the same issue.. The self healing mats keep these sharper longer and yes you can buy replacement blades for them as well.. I just bought a new one for the packaging 😉👍.. Thanks for all your tips tho , for those who have problems using this tool! So glad you watched and commented! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Thanks for sharing cause I bought a black one a year ago and never figure out to use it. Lol 😅 😆 🤣
So many people have said the same thing! Lol So glad you enjoyed my video that much 😊 Happy Crafting! 😁💖
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory same to you 🥰🥰
Didn't know what these were called. I found them hard to see when cutting, but recently randomly bought one that's in a form of a pen (like an xacto but the blade/tip spins freely like a gyro cutter) from aliexpress. I think mine is easier to control because you can use it like an xacto, in case anyone can't get these working for them.
Thanks for the tip, Kyra! Thanks for watching too! 😁💖
Thank you, I appreciated this tip.
KryaDiere the pen tool may also be easier to see over and around when cutting tiny lines. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t suppose you have a link to the one you have? It sounds fab!

I have one of these and just can’t get the hang of it. Guess I need to get it out and retry. You make it seem so simple maybe I’m just over thinking it.
Alot of people feel like this about this tool.. I think it's because the little video that goes with it makes it look SUPER EASY which it really needs practice... That video is sped up and makes it look like a hot knife thru butter... Ummm no... Lol... It takes patience and practice.. Lots of both lol.. I hope you take the time and don't get frustrated and learn a new skill that will make your life so much easier... Thanks for watching and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Hi, I have never seen one. Is it easier to cut out a stamp with a zyro pen vs a blade style cutting pen? It appears you have more control with the Zyro. ♥️
You have to move your wrist in awkward ways with just an exacto knife where as with the gyro cutter you don't.. You just follow around like your writing with a pen 😊
is the blade supposed to spin? I can't get the "gyro" to work
Yes it is, it turns 360° in both directions so you can make curved cuts in one go.. Did you get the one in the video or anything that looks like it? If so, then it should work.. Let me know 😊👍 Thanks for your question!
COOL
It sure is! 😎👍💖
Hey thanks for sharing your video! I have a couple of them and i cut on the self healing mat always, but my cutter never cuts anything like yours!! It's a task and i have to apply a lot of pressure to cut the paper, i use 300 gsm cardstock for stamping and fussy cutting and there it gets too tough to cut...i have given up on mine!!!
I totally understand! That's why I really only use mine to fuzzy cut out things from magazines and thinner papers... Thank you for watching my video! Have a great weekend! 😁💖
Can the tool work with stencils?
I don't see why not.. Whether it's the outside of a fussy cut or the inside of a stencil, it works the same way... Thanks for your question! 😁💖 Happy Crafting!
finally found
Awesome! 😁💖
Do they not have interchangeable blades?
Yes they do... I just didn't buy any to go with it lol.. Thanks for watching! 😁💖
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory
Thanks for the info.
It wasn't apparent how the blade would be changed.
Seems a waste if one had to dispose of the handle to get a new blade, so good to know👍🏾👍🏾
After watching your video I did a Google and found some handles that come with spares.
Don't do a lot of paper crafting tbh but looks a handy tool to have available.
Great video! How thick of paper can you cut out? And are you cutting paper stencils or plastic?
I'm going to use it to make plastic stencils but you can make card stock ones just as easily... Thanks for asking and watching, Julie! 😁💖
Do you have to purchase a new pen every time the blade gets dull?
I work in a large production studio, and we go through blades at a rapid pace.
No you can buy replacement blades for them on Amazon too.. Using the cutting mat makes the blades last longer tho.. I only bought I new one for the packaging lol.. Thanks for watching and commenting! 😁💖
awesome, how can replace the blade?
Thanks for asking, Jaffar☺️ The little cutting nib just pops out if you pull on it and then just pop a new one in.. You can buy new blades in packs of 3 on Amazon.. Hope that helps 👍😁 Happy Crafting!!
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory thanks a lot :)
Have you tried this on cardstock? I had this tool (not sure if it was the Gyro Cut or another brand) but it did not work even on 60lb cardstock.
Hi Miriam.. 🤔 I don't think I have to be honest... I usually just use it on paper to cut out fussy cuts and stickers.. Now the sticker paper I use is kinda thick being it has two layers. I don't know the weight since it's not sold that way but I can look and see... Magazine pages are great for this tool tho 😊👍 I know it says you can cut everything from copy paper to leather with it but let's be honest, that's just hype for advertising lol... Thanks for your question and watching my video.. Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Just watched your video - thank you for sharing!
I know you mentioned you don’t have a cricut, but what about putting your paper on a cricut mat (or any kind of sticky mat, silhouette, etc) to keep everything in place while you cut? I was thinking that might keep the paper from bunching after you’ve cut it. Just a thought!
Now there's a brilliant idea!! I'm gonna have to try this out now lol.. Thanks for the tip and expanding on this idea!
Have a great weekend, Michelle and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory We all inspire each other, right?! Without your video, I wouldn’t have had that thought! I hope you have a lovely, crafty weekend as well, Rory. 💗🍁
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory Please see my reply to Michell Krick above. The "Sticky Mat Adhesive" is brilliant and you can make your own sticky mat easily.
@@ShoshiPlatypus I'll take a look! Thank you, Shoshi! 😁
Actual cutting doesn't start until 4:40. But great tool!
Yes it is a great tool 😊👍Thanks for watching! 😁💖
Got several they don’t work for me?? Very disapointed it just scored and blade keeps turning wrong way! This amazes me looks so easy ! But I would not waste the money!
If you start out with the blade with the point away from you, (because it's not a flat blade but an angled tip) and pull towards yourself, it works much better.. Go slow and hold it as steadily as possible.. (It's not like the little video on the website shows since that's sped up lol) It's one of those things where expectations and realism are two different things lol...So sorry it didn't work for you tho 😔 Thanks for watching, Margaret! Happy Crafting! 😁💖

Oh sweet!! Thank you, Ellen!! Welcome to the channel! 😊💖
Do you know if can that be used by lefties?
Yes it can! It's notched for your fingers on both sides for either righties or lefties 😊👍Just hold it like you would a pen or pencil and voile! Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and you're really great question! Happy Crafting! 😁💖
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory thanks 👍 i´m lefty, sometimes, that's a problem 😁
@@nocturnusrg5389 oh I understand completely lol.. My mother and my eldest son are both lefties.. The struggle is real! Have a great weekend!
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory More lefties 👍. Great weekend u2
PS: I'd like to try it for fussy cutting as well... :-)
It's great at it! Just takes a gentle touch and very little pressure with thin paper.. Hope that helps! 😁💖
I have had mine a couple of years now and I just can’t do it
I'm sorry to hear that.. I know that, eventually, I won't be able to hold it properly with my hands being the way they are.. I'll just keep going until then lol.. Thank you for watching and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
Freehand Cricut.
Exactly! 😉 Happy Crafting!
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory 😃
for me I could not make it work! I try again. Thanks
No problem and good luck this time! Happy Crafting, Maria! 😊💖
I bought something similar in a set of some sort. Could never get the blade to orient correctly while I was using it.
Hi, Cass.. If you look at the point you'll notice it's at an angle not flat, the point that's the longest is actually the part the cuts and the top just follows along.. This tip is like the tip of a pen and is the only part you really need to concentrate on while cutting.. I hope this helps and if you have any questions, just ask and I'll try my darnedest to answer them 😊 Thanks for watching and Happy Crafting! 😁💖
@@CoffeeandCraftswithRory yup, operator error I'm sure!
@@cassfonnesbeck8057 well there's a learning curve (no pun intended lol) and it takes some practice 😁👍 I hope you try again and enjoy it this time lol
