I decided I couldn't keep this a secret anymore. I'm just so excited that I couldn't wait... I'm like a kid at Christmas!!!
Here it is... My new tool!!!
Here is my new calendar that I made with it:
It is a handheld, electronic, distressing machine! If you have taken any of my classes or watched any of my tutorials, you know how much I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, distressing. The one thing that I don't love is how long it takes. So I proposed this lovely tool to Zutter last summer and here we are!!! It is super duper powerful and it has a really wide channel so you can do multiple papers at a time and it even works on... CARDBOARD (like my calendar)!!! I asked them to make it out of denim... but then it wouldn't match all their other tools... lol.
This baby is so fast and insanely strong... look at this edge:
Speaking of cardboard. When Zutter realized my love for this medium... they decided to release the new "Corrugated Board" just for me!!! It comes in a pack with 2 - 13x13 pieces so you can use them as album covers and because it is 13x13 you still have room for the binding.
But that's not all!!! One of the most difficult things about working with cardboard is cutting it! But not anymore!!! Here is the new Zutter Kutter. It goes through cardboard, chipboard, foamboard... this tool is AMAZING!!! It cuts the Corrugated Board in one easy swipe!!!
If you are going to CHA you can play with ALL of this in the Product Performers booth and in the Zutter booth.
Thanks for stopping by! And don't forget to leave a comment on the Grandma's Garden post for a chance to win that paper line. I'm posting the sneak peek of the Trunk in the Attic line tomorrow. Hugs ~D~
I'm really looking forward to checking these out in person. I've very intrigued!!

Hi Laura,
I haventtried it but Im sure that it would. It cuts through Zutters clipboard wood so matboard should be like butter!

These tools look really cool...out of curiosity, does the new chipboard cutter cut matboard?

I love these new tools! The new cutter looks really cool! You can adjust the sizes, right?
How many pages can it cut at a time?
Does it cut chipboard or cardboard?

The Distrezz it all will have to make an appearance in my home. When and where can I buy it. This is way too tempting. I'm trying to use what I have and not buy new and then you have to come out with this, and I distress all the time too, and I hope my wonderful husband doesn't catch wind of this or he'll cut me off and then where would I be...lol Seriously, I'll have to start cutting into the food budget to save up for this baby cuz I obviously need it.
