Cutter Kit Tool

I love this portable cutter kit (106958-$16.95 on page 191 of SU's 2009-2010 idea book and catalog). This convenient and portable kit includes all of the tools you'll need to cut, perforate, score, and distress your cards and projects. The perforating tool is great for bookmarks, coupon books, and more, the distressing tool is super to distress the edges of your cards, the scissors to cut, and a portable scoring blade.
