Yes you can but you need a very very sticky mat.. Also you need to remove the rollers off to the side on your cricut or it leaves a dent in the foam.. and tape the edges of the foam down..

Here are 3 different methods. I usually stick to the the really thin kind from the dollar store and get decent results.
Glide spray method

I just cut some the other day trying to make a golf green, I passed it through twice, DON't UNLOAD it between cuts
even then you may need to snip with scissors . I also put my blade on 6 but kept the pressure at 3 .
maybe a third pass would cut it cleanly through,
try on a spare piece if you have some.
My rule is always cut from scrap paper or scraps if you have it of whatever I am using so you get the settings right.
Hope this helps
OH How do you get the rollers out of the way?
best wishes
