Hi everyone, just thought I'd share the board book I created using a file of Bella & Edward that I downloaded from this forum. It's still a work in progress as I've yet to do the inside pages and embellies. What do you think?

Looks great to me!

I guess I'm just stupid. I've tried everything to get a picture to attach. I have resized it and everything and it still won't attach..

I totally love this!! great job!! did you use paper for the red lettering if so what did you put over it..it makes it look like epoxy letters looks awesome!!

Yes Leslie I used red cardstock for the letters and coated them in glossy accents to make them look like epoxy letters.

Looks great, love the letters

That is really well done! I have been wondering what you type of paper you guys use when you make a board book. Is it regular card stock, posterboard or actually chipboard? If it is chipboard how thick is it? I haven't had any luck getting my cricut to cut anything that is thick even with the deep cut blade.

This book is made with cardstock. I cut the book pages twice and then glued them together. Once you have the patterned papers and embellies on, it's just as sturdy as chipboard. I have made another one using chipboard though and I used a light weight chipboard (similar to cereal box weight) and set me regular blade to multi cut x2 had it cut wonderfully. HTH!

Thanks, that will make it easier. I will not be trying regular chipboard again. With that being said what is the purpose of a deep cut blade? I really don't think it is necessary to have it. Now I can quit putting off cutting some books.

To be honest with you, I don't see the purpose of the deepcut blade either. I do own it, but haven't (as of yet) need to use it. I think next I want to order some of the Roland blades to see how well they work since others here on this mb have said they work better than the cricut blade.
