tooscraphappyCricut Cutting Problem
I know this is probably a dumb question, but I have been cutting embellishments for some card kits I'm making for the nursing home. My problem is with the Serenade cartridge. I have cut about 90 butterflies, at 2", however the antennas on the right side are so thin that they just fall off or come off when cutting. I am trying to do the stacking for the body part, but the same thing happened, I am not having any success. Does anyone have any suggestions on solving the problem, short of increasing the size, and I'm not sure that would work either. Thanks!

OhioDonnaAre you using a thin paper,?Maybe try a heavy cardstock?,,Hope that helps!

tooscraphappyI have used the heaviest card stock in my stash, maybe it would be just as east to draw the antenna with a very fine marker. I guess I'll head to at SS to hunt down the heaviest card stock possible. HMM I wonder if the cardboard from the cardboard back of paper packs would work, I'll give it a try.
Thanks for your suggestion Donna!

happytobeI like the idea of drawing in the antenna with a marker. I've seen that done successfully. I admire your work at the nursery home so much. My sister is in a nursing home, and I need to find something to help us visit better. All she wants to do is sleep. Maybe next visit I'll polish her nails if she'll let me. She was never into crafts, and she lacks coordination. But you inspire me, Kathie.
