Question for Pat

Did you cut all of the intricate designs with your cricut? I can't imagine mine doing that without tearing.

Also, what paper do you use. It is so soft - I love the finish on it.

Not the cricut! I have memory box dies for the intricate designs and I use a cuttlebug for them. Sometimes the dies don't cut too well but I am persistent running them through a few times and then they work. The pain comes with some of the spellbinder dies because you have to sometimes pick them out-the intricate ones! It is soooo time consuming. The memory box ones are much better!
The paper I use is from bazzil-the smooth cardstock.The textured one rips sometimes when you are cutting on the cricut! Check the memory box site. They have some nice ideas.

Yes I think the smooth would be amazing.

That may be part of my problem. I have mostly textured cardstock.. I wonder if I had smoother cardstock it would work better.. hmm..

Sounds like you will have to buy some new paper Kelly. Oh shucks!

Like I said, I have several thousand pieces of cardstock I'm pretty sure I can't justify any new cardstock right now..

I know - I have a pile too that i just bought. But maybe some smooth stuff for the intricate designs.

Pat where do you order the Bazzill smooth from?
