Wow, this gentleman obviously is an experienced designer ! His explanations are so clear and relaxed, I could watch and listen to him all day. It was cool to actually visualize all the sizes of boxes, envelopes and cards to see how versatile it is. Genius design with that board, less die cutting for tags etc. and being able to customize those gift boxes really appeals to me. I get tired of storing random boxes for gifts, this is quite clever. Plus, you can’t go wrong with the soothing Brit accent and vernacular. Bravo! Versatile piece of crafting fun.
I’ve been in market for a score board and was also thinking about an envelope punch board, so this is perfect timing! Watching Pete make that odd sized envelope had me awe, it was just magical! I haven’t even watched past the envelope and you’ve already sold me!!
After using mine for 5 1/2 months there are things that would improve it. Firstly, get rid of the, about 2" of dead space beside the cutting track where the Ruler rests sometimes. That should all be scoring lines and with clear to read measurements. I know it's where the rule is supposed to rest, but tbh if you want to do that, then there should be a gridded stop at the top where you can rest the paper the user is going to score. Likewise those blind numbers on the scoring panel (regardless whether it's in imperial or metric) should be in dark black so they can be seen. Also, when using imperial to make envelopes, the measurements should include 1/8th and 1/16th since the sizing chart gives sizings in those denominations. Other than those things, I love it. It's very sturdy and the trimmer rail give great stability - and the size of the trimmer guide is perfect for old arthritic hands like mine. My rating is 6/10. If those things I mentioned were fixed in a revised version, it would definitely be a 10/10.
Thanks so much for your feedback! We really appreciate there are things you really like and areas for improvement -we'll be sure to feed these back to our development team.
You - for the first time ever - made me feel I'm not an idiot for uneven cuts with my trimmer. Thank you for encouraging me. This new trimmer looks amazing. I could now follow measurements that are not in our inches. This new tool is brilliant! Joy!
I've just used mine for the first time and am amazed at how easy it is, and how professional it looks! Thank you Sizzix and Pete. Great video, great bit of kit!
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you playing with this amazing trimmer and scoring board. Looks incredible too so I’m going to have a look at this tool. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤
I would have like to see a better view of the board as the straight on view of you, though nice, doesn’t really show what you’re talking about as well. I’m hoping as the video goes on the view will get better. Much better viewing as the video went on. Thank you ever so much for such an enthusiastic show and a great sell. I have to have one.
What a good salesman, I want one. He’d have done good on the old Islington London Markets of the 1950s they were great to watch and learn. Oh London, my childhood London has gone. But this is the good bit of our ‘new world’ Videos👍
Quite a few features that not seen on a lot of other trimmers or score boards so its good to see them in one tool as nothing worse than having to get half a dozen different tools out to do different things, so can see a big advantage to this tools as all in one so saves time looking round for said different tools, and space as you dont have those half a dozen tools taking up valuable space. Sizzix always bring out quality products so you just know it is going to be a high quality, robust, and long lasting addition to your craft room
I ordered one, just waiting for it. Love it because it has both measurements. So if I love a card with cm, I can still cut it. Thanks for this. Can't wait to get it.
I just received it yesterday,last night I read the book. I'll have to watch the video a few times to get the hang of using it. Little confusing just reading the instructions especially to do envelopes. Have to DO it, while reading instructions I think will be easier than just going through reading it. And the size is larger than I thought. Lol. And I'm limited on my space. But I think it will be better than having to pull out two things, cutting platform and a score board. Wish it was a guillotine cutter instead. Something new, have to get use to it.
when you were scoring the box, you didn't have any measurements showing at the top of the scoreboard (you had moved the ruler to the side). I need to see my measurements...Did I miss something
At the 2:40 mark the demonstrator shows the ruler for scoring. You seemed to have missed that part in your haste to make a “I want to be included” comment.
Looks like a great tool but some of your measurements were 2mm and I couldn’t see how you measured that. Also, what are the dimensions of the tool please?

Hi, before introducing new products. Give sample to a few people who aren't employees to practice using it for several months. Get better feedbacks such as blade replacements, usage etc. I'll more accurate for customers. Thanks
VERY NICE TIMMER HOWEVER THINKING OF RETURNING IT. VERY difficult to read the ruler on the white plastic portion. what were they thinking. the ruler reading part should of been green like the top ruler.. hope they come out with a sticker solution so it's legible
Love the trimmer, BUT why not also offer it for LEFTHANDED people? I cannot find a trimmer designed for lefthanded people. Same features of this awesome trimmer, but flipped to the left! Each time I use a trimmer that is designed with the blade on the right, because the safety cover is on the right, I end up cutting my fingers. I can flip it upside down, but the measurements are then hard to figure out at least for me. Please Sizzix, consider adapting this trimmer for left-handed people like me.
I’m loving mine so far but I wish the measurements along the top of the board would be in a darker colour. It’s really hard to see. I’ve placed a lamp right beside the board so it makes it easier but it also means I can’t move the board without my desk light. :(
Is it raised lettering on the plastic? I sometimes color such text with a Sharpie type marker, or use a Brother label to relabel things to make my life easier.
@@DVD927 Yes, it’s raised lettering but I’m afraid I’ll make a mess of the board if I try to colour with a Sharpie. I’ll probably give it a shot sometime.
Sharpie can be removed from plastic with rubbing alcohol and other solvents. If it looks too messy, you have options to clean up your board. I would actually use an acrylic paint pen in the case of a tool like this one. It will just hold up better over time. Holding the pen such that the nib is almost flat (as close to 180° as possible) helps to keep the paint on the raised bits. And again acrylic paint can be removed. I usually use acetone; but as acetone dissolves some plastics, I would test the scoreboard/trimmer some place inconspicuous to make sure acetone isn’t going to eat into the plastic. I color raised and embossed information in plastic all the time because I have trouble seeing that information too. @@tonichowdhury-successcoach
This tool looks amazing. I already have one that is similar, but not with the switch between cm and inch, that's so great. I might buy this tool if the price is not to high for me. I love that you also made an app to use with it as I just can't do the math making boxes and such. 😊 I will always need to bring one with cm and one with inches to use different tutorials. So many of the tutorials in Norway is in cm and the American ones is in inches and I just cant figure out the measurements in the other system, but with this tool it would be so simple to do without googling it or try to figure it out. I think there might be a god and right now it's called Sizzix. 😅❤
I received mine and was disappointed. The concept is great, however I think the design is somewhat flawed with regard to the ability to see the numbers on the white part of the board clearly. I was debating on returning it, as I just found trying to easily read the numbers frustrating. My husband painstakingly painted all of the numbers black, now it’s a useful tool. Why the designers didn’t think of this is mind boggling. The blue ruler has black numbers, so why not the numbers on the white board?
Although Pete flies through it the envelope looks complicated especially near the end when cutting the the corners. How do you know how much to cut? The box also looks beyond an at home casual crafter skill level or maybe it’s just me . Again Pete makes it look simple but he is a pro and does this for a living! I think it’s a steep learning curve with many errors along the way!
Hi Polly! Please see our beginner videos that really go into more depth about the process of making envelopes and making boxes - it does look complicated to start with but with a little practice, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it! Here are the two videos: Perfect Boxes: czcams.com/video/g0M0k94LLLk/video.htmlsi=Dl2jzWPfkgoJhZzw Perfect Envelopes: czcams.com/video/Gybxk7_zCeI/video.htmlsi=PrFVzKVp9_kqgEgm I hope that helps!
I wonder if when making boxes, if I could use the punch that nicks out the corner folds for envelopes on the side of the box lid to offer easier opening of the lid? Sometimes it's just hard to get those lids off the small flat boxes, and instead of getting out a circle punch, maybe that corner punch that's included would be enough? I just got my cutter and have been dying to break it out! Thank you for such a great tutorial!
How have you found your scorer & trimmer? I bought one & I’ve got to write to them about their blades. I love the functions, but the new blades left rough cuts which was disappointing. I’d love to hear about your experience? If you’re willing…
Hi Vicky - It should allow for a smooth cut on standard cardstock! If you're having problems with the blades, please do contact our customer service team who can assist you!
May I suggest a small full-ricle punch and pushing the cardstock only partly into it - lots of manufacturers make them, and they cost only a few quid/dollars. Or you can buy more expensive part-circle punches designed for exactly the purpose you mention.
The Scoring Board and Trimmer (like most guillotine cutters) don't have those markings. It's a little difficult to explain without a demonstration but we'd suggest deducting that measurement from the opposite side of your paper based on the measurement of the ruler when it's in the top position. So, for instance, if you wanted to make your cut 1cm and your paper was 16cm in width, you'd align the paper at the 15cm marking to ensure that you were cutting exactly 1cm from the cutting side. The reason these measurements are normally not shown is because when the piece you are cutting from is very narrow, you won't have enough at the top axis to keep the paper in place when using the blade. So you'd need to use a slightly wider piece of paper to get that perfect 90 degree cut. I hope that makes sense! :)
U know, Pete, I follow Tonic Studios, You and many other You Tube instructors and/or Stars. It makes me crazy, being American to translate the math. And one MUST in order to recreate the gorgeous makes. This is a game changer that will help me speed up the process. Sizzix is the best company. BTW, Pete, I loved your Halloween makes for the T.H. Halloween live. You are amazingly talented. Thx.
When you are in "scoring mode" as you describe it at 7.05 where do you see the measurements? You say you are scoring at 5.5cm at 7.24 of the video but how do you see the 5.5cm mark? Wouldn't it make more sense for the measuring guide to be on the top at scoring mode? Also, I still haven't seen a trimmer like that that cuts accurately and without feathering the card, I wish you had gone for a rotary trimmer instead if you didn't want to go for a guillotine. Other than that the board looks amazing and it has so much functionality so I'll probably end up buying it just for all the other features
Thank you for your feedback! The studio lights when filming make them difficult to see but there are notations on the board which is raised. We've had a few people bring up this point so we've reported that to our designers for future iterations of this product!
Спасибо Вам большое! Видео я смотрела без звука, потому что не знаю английского языка. И без звука всё очень понятно. Благодаря Вашему уроку я могу делать конверты любого размера.👍🏻
I have a question, if I have to make an envelope that measures 37cm of cardboard, how can I do it if there is only up to 30cm? If you can make a video I would appreciate it. I love this board. All the best.
Have purchased this and is so easy. What is the maximum size envelope you can make please? Tried making a 10"x10" and had to bend corners to enable scoring. Also, can you explain ruler please. Why does the bottom show 6 to 31 cm but the top shows1 to 25?? Great product though.
The maximum size of envelope is determined by the Envelope generator which will tell you if the stock size required is too big to fit the physical limitations of the tool. The bottom measurements are 6 to 31 but the measurements from 0 to 6 are marked on the scoring board when the ruler is in the horizontal (Cutting/Trimming mode) position. The top measurements (0 to 25) are used when the ruler is swung 90 degrees into the Scoring mode. Hope this helps, thank you for your feedback :)
While this does a lot. That's a long time card maker not really interested in making envelopes. I mainly make a two cards and just buy the envelopes. But I'm going to purchase this for all the other stuff it does 😊
❤ loved, loved loved this video. Wonderful to see you finally created an all in one tool. I have your previous versions. Loved the fact that it has an interactive phone system for measuring, however the name of the app wasn't included. Could you possibly let me know the name of the app? For someone like me not good at mathematics this will be the clinker on me purchasing this product. Watched all the way throughout wonderful to see this cards, envelopes, tags, bunting, corners & holes. Will save me buying a lot of tools which are a current pain to store. Thankyou i can see me purchasing this!😂 A great tool for cardmaking.
Aww we're so pleased you enjoyed the video and you're excited about the new tool! You can find the generator shown here (no app required!): sbt.sizzix.com/ You can also access it via our Scoring Board & Trimmer Hub here (or use the QR code on the box) - simply click the link that says 'Start Creating' in the Scoring Board & Trimmer Generator section : (US/Canada/Americas): www.sizzix.com/scoring-board-trimmer (UK/Europe/International): www.sizzix.co.uk/scoring-board-trimmer
The numbers are etched white on white and very hard to see when you are trying to score or cut. While the box and envelope trick might our you, don't be caught here. We R Memory envelope punch board does it better and Fiskars,does a great rotary trimmer. It sees convenient but is very hard to use to score and trim. Sorry, Sizzix you blew it with the ruler etching and the flimsy green piece
I’m very interested but would prefer to purchase in a local store. I’m in Ontario, Canada. The Sizzix website took me to an apparent retailer that seems more like a distributor. Will this be available at Michael’s Canada stores? Thank you. Great demonstration of your new product!!
Hi, it looks like a great all together product. I work in nd obviously ¹/8," ²/8". Do the scoring lines work in the latter inches, so i can score down if i need to work in the latter?
Have Sizzix not heard of SRA3 paper? Every time you key in card measures that require just over 30cms of paper the online generator stops dead! I also found it incredibly fiddly when you are doing the scoring and aligning for the envelopes if your paper is on the larger size it gets tangled up in the cutting area!
There will always be some physical limitations to a tool like this. The envelope generator stop at around 25cm because as you pointed out, past this measurement, the cutting arm will get in the way (Boxes on the other hand can go up to a full 12" x 12"). Now, we could have made the tool much larger to accommodate SRA3 or SRA2 paper - or any size paper to be fair - but we know most crafters wouldn't be using paper larger than 12" x 12". We had to balance a size large enough to accommodate at most, 12" x 12" paper but also not so large that it couldn't fit on your average crafter's work space. After all, SRA3 paper is a size used in commercial printing and doesn't come in all the wonderful colors and patterns most crafters would be using anyway. So this is the reason the generator won't work past this measurement and why you're having difficulties with the cutting arm. It's simply not made for commercial size paper.
I want to buy one BUT i am concerned with the comments of white on white measurements for the scoring. You say this will be mentioned to the designers for future iterations. At nearly 70 years of age, I would want & NEED a hopefully improved version. I don’t want to start putting marker pen over such a beautiful product. What the heck do I do ?
We really appreciate your feedback! Please know that the measuring references are easier to see in person. Under the bright studio lights, they do get a bit washed out but we do appreciate this could be a concern. We'd encourage you to perhaps see one of your local retailers and have a look at the tool in person to see if it could still work for you x
It may look similar at first glance but you'll see there are some fantastic features that puts it ahead of some of the other scoreboards and trimmers out there! ;) The Universal measuring system, the integrated but removable punches, the metal rail, the way the blade is easily replaced just to name a few! 😊👍
@@sizzix And the 'physical envelope generator' which is clever, dare I say genius. No need to measure your greeting card at all! You only need to measure it if you're using the online apps - plus it's good to have a physical and online option.
You should see a box generator (in mint) and an envelope generator (in pink) - Each section is clearly marked so please do have another look - you may just have missed it! :)
It's entirely possible! You'd simply need to add on the addition width measurement to the size of your box and create the additional scoreline to allow for the fold :)
hello :) -- this tool looks great :) ... Can you tell me, which kind of mediums can be cut? For example paper with 300gsm or acetate-sheets? Would that be possible? And are replacement-blades available? Thanks for your answer :) Greetings from Austria :)
Hey there, the machine comes with 2 blades and more replacements can be purchased if required. Mediums that can be cut on the Scoring Board & Trimmer are standard cardstock, heavyweight cardstock (300gsm) and then also Sizzix opulent surfacez card stock.
It will cut thicker card but it depends on a few factors in terms of how much pressure you put on the blade and how many passes you do. You may find you are able to cut thinner cardboard with it although chipboard may not be possible. We appreciate your feedback, however, and will feed it back to our team! :)
For thinner card stock, you will need to put some pressure on the blade as you are moving it - If you don't apply any pressure to the ruler and just hold the paper and pull the trimmer from left to right/ right to left, you can get some feathering. To achieve a clean cut, we would suggest holding the ruler when trimming as opposed to the paper! I hope that helps!
This harks back to the old Martha Stewart scoring board, you just attached a trimmer. The old school Martha Stewart board also made boxes and envelopes but in a less complicated more intuitive way. Sadly, I’m disappointed, I think you are trying to reinvent the wheel.
I bought this trimmer recently and the blade wore out pretty quickly IMHO! I opened as you demonstrated and I didn't see a spare blade!!! What gives? Dorothy Johnson
Thank you for your feedback! The studio lights when filming make them difficult to see but there are notations on the board which is raised. We've had a few people bring up this point so we've reported that to our designers for future iterations of this product!
i was thinking about buying this but i cant see any numbers along the top once you put it into scoring mode. i think id get annoyed at having to count along the lines to find where i need to score plus theres a potential for error if making a bigger card or box. i have a wrmk the works all in one tool but im fed up buying spare blades for it , so im looking for a new all in one tool. does anyone who has it find any problems with scoring bigger sizes ?
Tip the green ruler down and even though basically impossible to read without marking them black, they are there. Only in 1/8s though… I wish I knew before I sold my scoreboard… I have had to buy a new one for scoring in 1/16s
So if i had a inch strip of paper left and i like to cut4 strips of 1/4inch from that, am i able to with that gap between where the knob is and to the cutter as there is no measurement marking due to where the knob is?
It would be difficult to cut a very slim piece of paper with just about any trimmer out there unfortunately! The reason for this is because there isn't enough paper at the top axis in terms of the width to keep the paper perfectly straight when cutting. We'd recommend cutting the 1/4 strips from a wider piece, simply deducting the 1/4" from where the other end is placed on the ruler - I hope that make sense!
I was excited when I saw the video and purchased one without trying it first I was very disappointed once I got home and used it. The numbers are very difficult to see the scoreboard doesn’t allow you to score for a full 12 inches you can’t cut anything smaller than an inch doesn’t hold the paper very well and my punches keep falling out.
Oh noooooooo........... I've just bought the W R Memory Keepers all in one tool for almost the same price as this one, but this seems to be a better tool. Wow... :(
Schade so ein schönes Board,würde es sofort kaufen,aber es hat wieder eine Klinge die so schnell stumpf wird. Wieso macht ihr so-etwas tolles nicht mit einer Rollklinge? Schade ,schade ……. Aber die Folgekosten sind einfach zu hoch.
Check out our video called 'Perfect Boxes' as it goes into a little further detail but yes, it's exactly the same as the box but because of the slightly bigger size, you'll find the lid will fit perfectly! czcams.com/video/g0M0k94LLLk/video.html
@@sizzix thank you a bit pricey for me as rand /dollar exchange rate is hectic and it would have to be courier as we don't have a postal system so I.ll just have to make do with what I have. Looks a fantastic bit of kit 👍🐘🌻
Hallo, gibt es so ein Video auch auf deutsch? Das mintfarbene Lineal kann man auf cm drehen. Ist die Skala rechts auch auf cm oder nur in inch? In welcher Sprache ist die Anleitung? Ich habe noch einige Fragen und würde mich freuen, sie los werden zu können 😅. Herzliche Grüße, Anni ❤
Hallo Anni! Auf dem Trimmer werden sowohl Zoll als auch Zentimeter angezeigt. Wir haben noch kein Video auf Deutsch, aber vielen Dank für den Vorschlag! Derzeit sind die Anleitungen in Englisch, Französisch, Spanisch und Portugiesisch verfügbar. Mir wurde gesagt, dass in Zukunft Deutsch hinzugefügt wird, aber wir haben derzeit keine Anweisungen in dieser Sprache. Es tut mir so leid, dass ich dabei nicht helfen kann!
@@sizzix Vielen Dank für die Antwort ❣️ Dann warte ich noch ein wenig ab und würde mich sehr freuen, wenn die Anleitung, usw. auf deutsch rauskommt. Vielleicht wenigstens als Download auf der Homepage. Denn das Board scheint interessant zu sein 👍 Herzliche Grüße, Anni ❤️
I thought Sizzix was a US company so I am a little confused following this video - using cms & A something paper? I wish we used metric but we don’t so it would have been more helpful using standard US measurements.
We are based with offices in both the US and the UK and our products are available world-wide! You'll be happy to know that our Scoring Board and Trimmer has a Universal Measuring tool which means it's very easy to swap from metric to imperial - both the ruler and the scoring board have both measurements on them to make it easier to use in whatever units you feel most comfortable using :)
Hi I think you need to adjust your lighting, maybe change the table to a light blue/grey also. It's hard to watch you demonstrating, really hard on one's eyes, it's just glaring. I had to turn off.
@@rhondam8935 There are rulers on the tool itself - if you watch the video, you can see that there's a ruler both at the top when it's in trimming mode and the cutting tool also has a ruler!
Too complicated, and i don't want to go to the internet for the coordinates. I have looked at five different enelope--box makers. This one would make me more confused than the one i have! Very well engineered though. Great video for those who think like an engineer. Great guy toy.

Same accurate cuts are difficult, I like the position of this blade I can see where it's going to cut.
I wish they bring it out for left handers as always have to turn my cutter upside down to cut no one brings out left handed

I’m loving mine so far but I wish the measurements along the top of the board would be in a darker colour. It’s really hard to see. I’ve placed a lamp right beside the board so it makes it easier but it also means I can’t move the board without my desk light. :(
Is it raised lettering on the plastic? I sometimes color such text with a Sharpie type marker, or use a Brother label to relabel things to make my life easier.
Thank you for your feedback! We've had a few people bring up this point so we've reported that to our designers for future iterations of this product!
@@DVD927 Yes, it’s raised lettering but I’m afraid I’ll make a mess of the board if I try to colour with a Sharpie. I’ll probably give it a shot sometime.
Sharpie can be removed from plastic with rubbing alcohol and other solvents. If it looks too messy, you have options to clean up your board.
I would actually use an acrylic paint pen in the case of a tool like this one. It will just hold up better over time. Holding the pen such that the nib is almost flat (as close to 180° as possible) helps to keep the paint on the raised bits. And again acrylic paint can be removed. I usually use acetone; but as acetone dissolves some plastics, I would test the scoreboard/trimmer some place inconspicuous to make sure acetone isn’t going to eat into the plastic.
I color raised and embossed information in plastic all the time because I have trouble seeing that information too. @@tonichowdhury-successcoach
I did exactly that I added a sharpie to make the number seen and now a brand new bar that I paid $65 for it looks terrible would not recommend this
Tip: work the parts (slide out/in, slot in/out) several times before crafting, to get rid of the newness stiffness.
Thanks for sharing your tips!
Wow! it condenses many tools in one. Less clutter in my craft room.
I really need this piece of Sizzix kit. My maths and instruction following has become terrible as I’ve got older😅
I’ve bought one 😊
This tool looks amazing. I already have one that is similar, but not with the switch between cm and inch, that's so great. I might buy this tool if the price is not to high for me. I love that you also made an app to use with it as I just can't do the math making boxes and such. 😊 I will always need to bring one with cm and one with inches to use different tutorials. So many of the tutorials in Norway is in cm and the American ones is in inches and I just cant figure out the measurements in the other system, but with this tool it would be so simple to do without googling it or try to figure it out. I think there might be a god and right now it's called Sizzix. 😅❤
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, we hope you manage to get your hands on one, tag us in your makes, we'd love to see what you're creating.
Great product!! Can’t wait to use it. 💖💖
I received mine and was disappointed. The concept is great, however I think the design is somewhat flawed with regard to the ability to see the numbers on the white part of the board clearly. I was debating on returning it, as I just found trying to easily read the numbers frustrating. My husband painstakingly painted all of the numbers black, now it’s a useful tool. Why the designers didn’t think of this is mind boggling. The blue ruler has black numbers, so why not the numbers on the white board?
Totally agree!
Ingenious,! Well done!
Although Pete flies through it the envelope looks complicated especially near the end when cutting the the corners. How do you know how much to cut? The box also looks beyond an at home casual crafter skill level or maybe it’s just me . Again Pete makes it look simple but he is a pro and does this for a living! I think it’s a steep learning curve with many errors along the way!
Hi Polly! Please see our beginner videos that really go into more depth about the process of making envelopes and making boxes - it does look complicated to start with but with a little practice, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it! Here are the two videos:
Perfect Boxes: czcams.com/video/g0M0k94LLLk/video.htmlsi=Dl2jzWPfkgoJhZzw
Perfect Envelopes: czcams.com/video/Gybxk7_zCeI/video.htmlsi=PrFVzKVp9_kqgEgm
I hope that helps!
I wonder if when making boxes, if I could use the punch that nicks out the corner folds for envelopes on the side of the box lid to offer easier opening of the lid? Sometimes it's just hard to get those lids off the small flat boxes, and instead of getting out a circle punch, maybe that corner punch that's included would be enough? I just got my cutter and have been dying to break it out! Thank you for such a great tutorial!
How have you found your scorer & trimmer? I bought one & I’ve got to write to them about their blades. I love the functions, but the new blades left rough cuts which was disappointing. I’d love to hear about your experience? If you’re willing…
Hi Vicky - It should allow for a smooth cut on standard cardstock! If you're having problems with the blades, please do contact our customer service team who can assist you!
May I suggest a small full-ricle punch and pushing the cardstock only partly into it - lots of manufacturers make them, and they cost only a few quid/dollars. Or you can buy more expensive part-circle punches designed for exactly the purpose you mention.
Well .... how about me wanting to measure, score or cut someting small, like ½" or 1 /8" where do i do this????
The Scoring Board and Trimmer (like most guillotine cutters) don't have those markings. It's a little difficult to explain without a demonstration but we'd suggest deducting that measurement from the opposite side of your paper based on the measurement of the ruler when it's in the top position. So, for instance, if you wanted to make your cut 1cm and your paper was 16cm in width, you'd align the paper at the 15cm marking to ensure that you were cutting exactly 1cm from the cutting side. The reason these measurements are normally not shown is because when the piece you are cutting from is very narrow, you won't have enough at the top axis to keep the paper in place when using the blade. So you'd need to use a slightly wider piece of paper to get that perfect 90 degree cut. I hope that makes sense! :)
Agree, this is a huge fault with the blank space close to the knife. I have to keep another cutting board due to this.
Fabulous!!! Ordered mine!
I make a semi circle on two sides for easy opening!
Wish I’d seen this a month ago, before I bought my new trimmer. 😢
U know, Pete, I follow Tonic Studios, You and many other You Tube instructors and/or Stars. It makes me crazy, being American to translate the math. And one MUST in order to recreate the gorgeous makes. This is a game changer that will help me speed up the process. Sizzix is the best company. BTW, Pete, I loved your Halloween makes for the T.H. Halloween live. You are amazingly talented. Thx.
The universal measuring really is a game changer! We're so pleased you're excited and we'll be passing on your lovely feedback to Pete :D xx
Waiting for mine to be delivered
When you are in "scoring mode" as you describe it at 7.05 where do you see the measurements? You say you are scoring at 5.5cm at 7.24 of the video but how do you see the 5.5cm mark? Wouldn't it make more sense for the measuring guide to be on the top at scoring mode? Also, I still haven't seen a trimmer like that that cuts accurately and without feathering the card, I wish you had gone for a rotary trimmer instead if you didn't want to go for a guillotine. Other than that the board looks amazing and it has so much functionality so I'll probably end up buying it just for all the other features
Thank you for your feedback! The studio lights when filming make them difficult to see but there are notations on the board which is raised. We've had a few people bring up this point so we've reported that to our designers for future iterations of this product!
@@sizzixthey are impossible to see in any light, I had to mark them black myself…
Recieved mine on the 16 th march im gong to put tools that trim abd score and that too one side snd get into using this item instead
Спасибо Вам большое! Видео я смотрела без звука, потому что не знаю английского языка. И без звука всё очень понятно. Благодаря Вашему уроку я могу делать конверты любого размера.👍🏻
I have a question, if I have to make an envelope that measures 37cm of cardboard, how can I do it if there is only up to 30cm? If you can make a video I would appreciate it. I love this board. All the best.
Looks amazing. Can you please tell me what the largest box/card measurements you can make are? Thank you and have a lovely day
12" x 12" card stock would be the largest size!
@@sizzix Thank you 🙂
wow. what an awesome product.
Have purchased this and is so easy. What is the maximum size envelope you can make please? Tried making a 10"x10" and had to bend corners to enable scoring. Also, can you explain ruler please. Why does the bottom show 6 to 31 cm but the top shows1 to 25?? Great product though.
The maximum size of envelope is determined by the Envelope generator which will tell you if the stock size required is too big to fit the physical limitations of the tool.
The bottom measurements are 6 to 31 but the measurements from 0 to 6 are marked on the scoring board when the ruler is in the horizontal (Cutting/Trimming mode) position. The top measurements (0 to 25) are used when the ruler is swung 90 degrees into the Scoring mode.
Hope this helps, thank you for your feedback :)
Agree, there should be possible to lift up the entire knife-line…
@@sizzixstill cardstock doesn’t fit for the larger sizes for the first score. Make it possible to lift the entire knife-line and problem is solved.
I was told that the board cannot cut 1 or 2 centimetres since it's starts to count on 3, is that right?
While this does a lot. That's a long time card maker not really interested in making envelopes. I mainly make a two cards and just buy the envelopes. But I'm going to purchase this for all the other stuff it does 😊
That is brilliant 😀
❤ loved, loved loved this video. Wonderful to see you finally created an all in one tool. I have your previous versions.
Loved the fact that it has an interactive phone system for measuring, however the name of the app wasn't included. Could you possibly let me know the name of the app?
For someone like me not good at mathematics this will be the clinker on me purchasing this product.
Watched all the way throughout wonderful to see this cards, envelopes, tags, bunting, corners & holes. Will save me buying a lot of tools which are a current pain to store.
Thankyou i can see me purchasing this!😂 A great tool for cardmaking.
Aww we're so pleased you enjoyed the video and you're excited about the new tool! You can find the generator shown here (no app required!): sbt.sizzix.com/
You can also access it via our Scoring Board & Trimmer Hub here (or use the QR code on the box) - simply click the link that says 'Start Creating' in the Scoring Board & Trimmer Generator section : (US/Canada/Americas): www.sizzix.com/scoring-board-trimmer (UK/Europe/International): www.sizzix.co.uk/scoring-board-trimmer
The numbers are etched white on white and very hard to see when you are trying to score or cut. While the box and envelope trick might our you, don't be caught here. We R Memory envelope punch board does it better and Fiskars,does a great rotary trimmer. It sees convenient but is very hard to use to score and trim. Sorry, Sizzix you blew it with the ruler etching and the flimsy green piece
I’m very interested but would prefer to purchase in a local store. I’m in Ontario, Canada. The Sizzix website took me to an apparent retailer that seems more like a distributor. Will this be available at Michael’s Canada stores? Thank you. Great demonstration of your new product!!
Does it have 8th and 16th measurements?
It does indeed! :)
Can i get it in Australia? there are no links listed for Au
I just found it at Craftonline. $99 from memory.
Nice tool!
I want this! ❤
🤩Such a great tool!👍
Under which order number/article number can I order the replacement blades?
For replacement blades, please search for Product #666378 online or ask for this product number at your local retailer!
@@sizzix Thank you!🌼
Hi looks nice, I love that it is a metric board too! Is it a rotary knife and the ruler on the knifesite is it metric too?
It's a blade! If you go to 01:20 you'll see more information! The ruler on the trimmer has both imperial and metric units :)
Is the blade the same one in Tim’s newest cutter?
Hi, it looks like a great all together product. I work in nd obviously ¹/8," ²/8". Do the scoring lines work in the latter inches, so i can score down if i need to work in the latter?
Yes, the scoring board flips over so that the score lines are in 1/8" increments if you would like to work with imperial measurements!
Have Sizzix not heard of SRA3 paper? Every time you key in card measures that require just over 30cms of paper the online generator stops dead! I also found it incredibly fiddly when you are doing the scoring and aligning for the envelopes if your paper is on the larger size it gets tangled up in the cutting area!
There will always be some physical limitations to a tool like this. The envelope generator stop at around 25cm because as you pointed out, past this measurement, the cutting arm will get in the way (Boxes on the other hand can go up to a full 12" x 12"). Now, we could have made the tool much larger to accommodate SRA3 or SRA2 paper - or any size paper to be fair - but we know most crafters wouldn't be using paper larger than 12" x 12". We had to balance a size large enough to accommodate at most, 12" x 12" paper but also not so large that it couldn't fit on your average crafter's work space. After all, SRA3 paper is a size used in commercial printing and doesn't come in all the wonderful colors and patterns most crafters would be using anyway. So this is the reason the generator won't work past this measurement and why you're having difficulties with the cutting arm. It's simply not made for commercial size paper.
Hi could you please show how to make gift bags with this tool please
We have a tutorial for gift bags coming up soon! Make sure you subscribe and hit the bell for notifications :)
A España cuando llega
I want to buy one BUT i am concerned with the comments of white on white measurements for the scoring. You say this will be mentioned to the designers for future iterations. At nearly 70 years of age, I would want & NEED a hopefully improved version. I don’t want to start putting marker pen over such a beautiful product. What the heck do I do ?
We really appreciate your feedback! Please know that the measuring references are easier to see in person. Under the bright studio lights, they do get a bit washed out but we do appreciate this could be a concern. We'd encourage you to perhaps see one of your local retailers and have a look at the tool in person to see if it could still work for you x
Me encanta la necesito ya
This seems confusing to me. Maybe it takes practice...
It seems more complicated than it really is and definitely gets easier with practice! :)
Looks a lot like my WRMK multi-use board!
It may look similar at first glance but you'll see there are some fantastic features that puts it ahead of some of the other scoreboards and trimmers out there! ;) The Universal measuring system, the integrated but removable punches, the metal rail, the way the blade is easily replaced just to name a few! 😊👍
@@sizzix And the 'physical envelope generator' which is clever, dare I say genius. No need to measure your greeting card at all! You only need to measure it if you're using the online apps - plus it's good to have a physical and online option.
where did you find your measurements for your box after you measured your book?? the QR code only brings envelope sizes up in both pictures!!!
You should see a box generator (in mint) and an envelope generator (in pink) - Each section is clearly marked so please do have another look - you may just have missed it! :)
Is it possible to make reinforced boxes, in which each side is folded twice to add strength?
I’d love to hear the answer to that too?
It's entirely possible! You'd simply need to add on the addition width measurement to the size of your box and create the additional scoreline to allow for the fold :)
hello :) -- this tool looks great :) ...
Can you tell me, which kind of mediums can be cut? For example paper with 300gsm or acetate-sheets? Would that be possible? And are replacement-blades available?
Thanks for your answer :) Greetings from Austria :)
Hey there, the machine comes with 2 blades and more replacements can be purchased if required.
Mediums that can be cut on the Scoring Board & Trimmer are standard cardstock, heavyweight cardstock (300gsm) and then also Sizzix opulent surfacez card stock.
I want one but it will be perfect if it can cut a cardboard or chipboard aswell maybe a seperate blade for it.
It will cut thicker card but it depends on a few factors in terms of how much pressure you put on the blade and how many passes you do. You may find you are able to cut thinner cardboard with it although chipboard may not be possible. We appreciate your feedback, however, and will feed it back to our team! :)
I just got it. The blade does not trim clean.?
For thinner card stock, you will need to put some pressure on the blade as you are moving it - If you don't apply any pressure to the ruler and just hold the paper and pull the trimmer from left to right/ right to left, you can get some feathering. To achieve a clean cut, we would suggest holding the ruler when trimming as opposed to the paper! I hope that helps!
This harks back to the old Martha Stewart scoring board, you just attached a trimmer. The old school Martha Stewart board also made boxes and envelopes but in a less complicated more intuitive way. Sadly, I’m disappointed, I think you are trying to reinvent the wheel.
I bought this trimmer recently and the blade wore out pretty quickly IMHO! I opened as you demonstrated and I didn't see a spare blade!!! What gives?

@@sizzix Thank you for your prompt response. I love your products, top quality.
Can’t see the measurement at the top for scoring? How do you know where you are scoring?
Thank you for your feedback! The studio lights when filming make them difficult to see but there are notations on the board which is raised. We've had a few people bring up this point so we've reported that to our designers for future iterations of this product!
i was thinking about buying this but i cant see any numbers along the top once you put it into scoring mode. i think id get annoyed at having to count along the lines to find where i need to score plus theres a potential for error if making a bigger card or box. i have a wrmk the works all in one tool but im fed up buying spare blades for it , so im looking for a new all in one tool. does anyone who has it find any problems with scoring bigger sizes ?
Tip the green ruler down and even though basically impossible to read without marking them black, they are there. Only in 1/8s though… I wish I knew before I sold my scoreboard… I have had to buy a new one for scoring in 1/16s
So if i had a inch strip of paper left and i like to cut4 strips of 1/4inch from that, am i able to with that gap between where the knob is and to the cutter as there is no measurement marking due to where the knob is?
It would be difficult to cut a very slim piece of paper with just about any trimmer out there unfortunately! The reason for this is because there isn't enough paper at the top axis in terms of the width to keep the paper perfectly straight when cutting. We'd recommend cutting the 1/4 strips from a wider piece, simply deducting the 1/4" from where the other end is placed on the ruler - I hope that make sense!
While l like that everything is together, I don't like that the blade isn't😢 self sharpening
Appreciate the feedback! Replacement blades are available, however and are easy to swap out quickly and safely! :)
NICE!!!
Are there any trimmers designed for left handers out there?
We'll be sure to pass this onto our design team.
I was excited when I saw the video and purchased one without trying it first I was very disappointed once I got home and used it. The numbers are very difficult to see the scoreboard doesn’t allow you to score for a full 12 inches you can’t cut anything smaller than an inch doesn’t hold the paper very well and my punches keep falling out.
Sorry to hear you are feeling disappointed but we thank you for your feedback, and we'll pass this onto our engineering team.
Very nice website says its out of stock
More will be coming into stock in the coming weeks! :)
Oh noooooooo...........
I've just bought the W R Memory Keepers all in one tool for almost the same price as this one, but this seems to be a better tool. Wow... :(
Schade so ein schönes Board,würde es sofort kaufen,aber es hat wieder eine Klinge die so schnell stumpf wird. Wieso macht ihr so-etwas tolles nicht mit einer Rollklinge? Schade ,schade ……. Aber die Folgekosten sind einfach zu hoch.
How was the box lid scored, as it was 2mm larger?
Of course, the same as the box itself
Check out our video called 'Perfect Boxes' as it goes into a little further detail but yes, it's exactly the same as the box but because of the slightly bigger size, you'll find the lid will fit perfectly! czcams.com/video/g0M0k94LLLk/video.html

I thought Sizzix was a US company so I am a little confused following this video - using cms & A something paper? I wish we used metric but we don’t so it would have been more helpful using standard US measurements.
We are based with offices in both the US and the UK and our products are available world-wide! You'll be happy to know that our Scoring Board and Trimmer has a Universal Measuring tool which means it's very easy to swap from metric to imperial - both the ruler and the scoring board have both measurements on them to make it easier to use in whatever units you feel most comfortable using :)
Hi I think you need to adjust your lighting, maybe change the table to a light blue/grey also. It's hard to watch you demonstrating, really hard on one's eyes, it's just glaring. I had to turn off.
Did I miss something? Does the cutting board extend out to 12 inches for our 12x12 paper?
You can use 12x12 paper using this tool! There's no extension needed :)
