Good morning, all! I'm on the search for a corner cutter that will lop off the corner cleanly in a straight line. I've tried to search using keywords like blunt, straight, edge, etc - and am having no luck.
Does anyone know of such a tool?
I want to make corners that look like this, and that are consistently the same size without having to run every single one through the Cricut or Big Shot.
I'll be using some friendly helpers to complete this project (on over 100 pieces of paper) so I also don't want to go the basic scissor route, else I fear they'll all be various depths and sizes. It's a tough one.
Thanks for any suggestions!!

Oh, man. That was the only store I found one in. None on Amazon!! Ebay has one, in a set of 3 crop-a-dile punches. Etsy might be a good place to check. I can't believe they discontinued this model!!
I would pick something that's been discontinued and cannot be found anywhere - or rather my client* would decide that she has to have those angled corners...
I asked her, "are you sure you don't love the rounded corner - or even the ticket punch? " HA!
I've put my bid in on the eBay - but see that others are already driving that one up. I'm sure I could find a use for the other items.
*dearest friend for whom I'm very happily making the save-the-date cards.

I found a place with stock but it's in the Netherlands - the listing is here. I can't see any way to get information on how much international shipping would be - most Dutch people speak good English so I think you could just e-mail ([email protected]) and ask them. Shipping cost might be quite high as they're pretty heavy items.
Another option might be just to make some templates for your helpers. Cut some chipboard to the exact size of your card fronts and make the corner cuts as you want them. Then folk can hold the template over the cardstock and snip off the corners according to the template and they'll all be the same.
Hope you find a solution and have fun making them!
I think I have a similar one that is a different brand... but for the life of me I can't think of it... and of course I am at work and can't go look. I will try to remember to look tonight when I get home. I am also pretty sure SU made one but it is probably retired. I might have it too.
The one Stampin Up sold was called the "Tag Corner Punch" - there are some on Ebay. Tonic Studios also had one in their Duo Corner punches - it was called Ticket Tag (I think); one side cut an angled corner and the other did a ticket stub cut.
I have a Tonic punch that's a combo 'ticket corner' punch and angled corner punch. It has about 3" teal plastic round base with the grey/teal punch on that. Put your corner in one side for one corner of a ticket. Use other side for angled corner cut. I probably got it at Hobby lobby with a coupon.
That eBay bid was a rush! I hadn't been on eBay in some time. We went back and forth, I think four bidders, up to about $75 - then in the last 20 seconds they went up to over $125. Crazy!! I caved on that. But it was kind of fun! Ha!
Thanks again for the help, y'all!

To bring some closure to the thread - I have successfully purchased a Stampin Up Tag Corner Punch via eBay. There were no Tonic duo punches available in the US. Their customer service is top notch, though, I found one in their UK store and trying to see how to get it here. In the end, though, the shipping kills the deal.
Going to be sure to look at more of their products in the future.
Thanks again, y'all!! I would have never found it without your help. Have a fantastic day!

Thanks for letting us know about your happy ending. I find myself becoming very invested in some of these threads and always like to know how it turned out. Glad you got your punch and good luck on your project!
