Fiskar's Shape Cutter system is a wonderful gadget for cutting shapes (circles, squares, rectangles, ovals, hearts, stars, letters, numbers, tags etc.). It uses the same heavy molded plastic base as the Fiskar's Shape Boss embossing system.

With the Shape Cutter, the pegs hold plastic templates on a self-healing cutting mat. Place your paper between the mat and the template and use the Shape Cutter cutting tool to simply trace around the template shape. When you're finished, the shape is cut. The cutting tool has a special blade that swivels, so it can cut in any direction. It's a quick and easy way to cut shapes for greeting cards, gift tags, scrapbook pages and other paper crafts. And since the shape templates are graduated in size, it's also an easy way to cut multiple mats.

When you're done using the cutting tool, switch the tool to the Shape Boss dry embossing system to add an elegant look to your paper projects. This same tool works for both systems.
