Abstract: A paper trimmer is described having removable stationary cutting blades and cutting members. The removable stationary cutting blades and cutting members have shapes along their respective edges where the respective edges interact to cut the paper. These shapes take the form of corresponding patterns that are not in the form of a single straight line. As a result, decorative patterns may be applied to or cut into the edges of the paper to be trimmed by the operation of the paper trimmer. When a different pattern is desired, the user removes the current stationary cutting blade and its corresponding cutting member and replaces them with the newly desired stationary cutting blade and its corresponding cutting member.
