I have a question for you. I have a deep cut blade now and wonder if I can just leave it in my Expression all the time, just compensate for it by setting the blade housing to 1 and the pressure dial to a lighter number.

@gardenwife that is a great question. I think that might work! I would try it out, and see if it it rips your paper at all, and if doesn't that would save a ton of time! :) I think it would just cause problems on thinner paper. Happy cricutting!

That is so cool. What type of foam did you use?

[mypinkcricut]

@tajarboe Children's craft foam. You can find it at Walmart.

What an excellent use of the Cricut. You have expanded its potential by leaps and bounds while using their own cartridges. Thank you

I just went out and got the stampables by cricut but will DEFINATELY try the children's craft foam that you have used in your video!! I love the endless possibilities

Does this work with the create too?
