One of the things I really enjoy about attending scrapbooking retreats is finding new and exciting tools that I have never used before.
At the TSF spring retreat I was introduced to the Fiskars Fingertip Craft Knife and was sold.
I had always found it difficult to cut out flowers from pattern paper to the precision I had wanted. I am also a big fan of chipboard. Prior to using the Fingertip Craft Knife I would trace the chipboard design on the pattern paper, cut it out, then glue it to the chipboard.
I don’t know that there was ever a time that it ever lined up properly! The Fingertip Craft Knife solved that problem and removed the step of tracing. Now I just glue the paper to the chipboard and use the Fingertip Craft Knife to cut around the chipboard. I love the precision you can achieve with this tool.
It is what I used to cut out the flowers on this layout

Looks like something else I need to put on my shopping list!!
I have a fingertip craft knife and am very happy with it. I could never get enough control with the old exacto knife. For those that do not have one it is wonderful!!
It's great to hear about something that really works!
Thanks for the great info on Fridays!

I'm intrigued!! Anything that makes hand cutting flowers etc., easier, works for me!
it does look like i have to invest in that! it allows for more precision in your cutting and trimming!
I love this product! I bought mine at the retreat, as well as the swivel one - which I love even more!!
