I am glad you like the videos! The Designer paper used in the video is from Stampin' Up! It is called "Thorougly Modern Designer Paper".

What is the brand name of your black/silver paper trimmer? Where can I get one?
Thanks, Chris
Are you talking about the trimmer in the video? That's a Fiskars trimmer. You can buy it through a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and get the silver/black version or you can buy it at stores in purple/silver.
