Tonic Studios - Tim Holtz Media Ruler

Tim Holtz Media Ruler

Measure, cut, and pierce with one tool that stays put while you work

Measuring and cutting on slippery work surfaces leads to sliced fingers and ruined projects. This ruler stays put. Raised grip rails on the underside bite into paper, cardstock, and mixed media substrates, keeping the edge stationary while you draw or cut. Recessed steel cutting edges protect both blade and ruler, your knife rides along the inset channel rather than climbing onto the ruler surface, maintaining accurate cuts through repeated use.

Twelve inches of dual measurement markings (imperial and metric) handle most layout tasks, while the compact 2-inch width fits comfortably in tool boxes and bags. Integrated guide holes accommodate craft picks for piercing registration marks, scoring lines, or creating precise dot patterns in stencil work. The transparent construction lets you see your substrate and align measurements exactly where needed.

Tim Holtz designed this ruler for mixed media artists who layer, cut, and construct, those working with collage, card making, journaling, and assemblage techniques. The specialized features address real frustrations: rulers that shift mid-cut, measurements obscured by opaque materials, and the need to switch between multiple tools. Everything you need for precise layout and cutting work, consolidated into one dependable tool.
