Considerations: Because they are primarily designed to work on Creative Memories paper products of various weights, they may not be the best choice for intricate cuts and tiny curves (the Micro-Tip Scissors, with their specifically designed blades, would be a more suitable option).

Perfect for: Scrapbookers and crafters who want durable, trustworthy scissors for layouts and crafts. These scissors offer a balance of precision and durability, making them a valuable addition to your crafting toolkit.

Perfect for: Crafters who enjoy adding curves and/or notches to their layouts for fun visual effects! Whether it’s rounding or notching corners of larger papers/cardstock on a layout to applying them to mats and photos, the 2-Way Corner Rounder will help give you a professional finish in just a punch!
