Title: Circle Cutters Post by: Honey on February 09, 2010, 08:06:27 PM Anyone have suggestions? Not too expensive (Lulu posted a link earlier, too rich for my poor blood I'm afraid).
There are lot online but I haven't a notion how to use any of them so can't really jugde what's good or not. Of course, it's dependent on me being able to design a label I like too.

To cut out round labels or any shape labels I recommend a Craft Robo - I have one and its absolutely fantastic & well worth the money - any shape, any size, paper, vinyl, card - though it will not cut material. Not quite sure how it works but too expensive for me. Basically I'd like a cheap way of cutting out circles to make circular labels. Found this (http://cgi.ebay.ie/MARTHA-STEWART-Circle-Cutter_W0QQitemZ380205326888QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Crafts_Cardmaking_Scrapbooking_DieCutting_Punches_EH?hash=item588600e228) - thought it might be good? http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/craftrobo.asp?gclid=CN7GxPWp5Z8CFUIA4wodDU_5HQ You can also get a cheaper model for about £80.00 + P&P I have never done scrapbooking so it's a new world for me! The more you look, the more things they are that I don't know how they work! Lulu's machine is too expensive for me ... maybe she'll make my labels for me and I can pay her? :mwaha: :mwaha: :mwaha: Title: Re: Circle Cutters Post by: kevie192 on February 09, 2010, 09:54:34 PM I've got a cuttlebug die cutter and nestabilities dies which is very good but probably a bit more expensive than you wanted.
I've had a look around at some reviews etc. and it seems the best standalone circle cutting system out there for the money is the EK Success Curvy Cutter. You can see the details here. (http://www.scraprevolution.co.uk/home.php?cat=234) You would need the cutter tool and the circle templates. It says you need a glass cutting mat but you can just use a glass chopping board or even an old ceramic tile. Honey, one of the reviews I saw actually compared that cutter you linked to with the EK Success one and said that the EK Success is far easier to use and much more effective. Of course there are always punches too, but they are expensive and you are limited to one size!

Title: Re: Circle Cutters Post by: EJ on February 16, 2010, 10:20:59 PM I use this cutter (http://www.londonemblem.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=31&osCsid=1b914730ff4b81fe778e5b8423abf1d2) (although it says 4 sizes you can actually fix the cutter at any distance between the notches for preset sizes).
It's robust and will last for years. Title: Re: Circle Cutters Post by: Honey on February 16, 2010, 10:22:29 PM Looks like it'd outlast me!! But too rich for my blood I'm afraid :-\
Title: Re: Circle Cutters Post by: polly on February 16, 2010, 10:41:43 PM I deleted 3 emails from Aldi today! Sheesh! I'm off to check my deleted emails to see what I'm missing.
Thanks for posting :buttrf: |
