Creating my own cuttlebug folders

[ktk102893]

Does anyone have any good patterns that I can use?

There are many designs on the forum. Perhaps you can pick a topic, such as flowers, and use the search feature. Then just duplicate the designs you like and place in the size as you like. You could also go the SCUT files topic in the board index and start there looking for designs.

Give me an idea of what you would like to have and I will try to make it for you. Are you thinking hearts or lattice or dots or did you have anything in mind? Name a folder and I will try to make one similar yet different :)))))))))))

Well right now i am trying to practice cutting one, but my cricut isn't cutting deep enough.

I always do multicut 4 times...it is a long process to make one. I use a deep cut blade with the deep cut housing and then blade depth on 6....that is for the plastic. If the blade was brand new I could go with blade depth of 4.

I am signing off for tonight...but tomorrow I will look to remake some of my older designs that were not scal.

Later.

I have a gear background here plus a link to my blog post on a much easier way to do this

What kind of plastic are you using? Ive used cardboard and chipboard. It doesnt work, all it does is shred it. Im using the same kind of settings as you too.

Scroll down on this page and I had explained what I do earlier.

Magnet sheets work wonderfully. They cut like butter but give a nice crisp edge for the embossing. Even better is rhinestone rubber.
The plastic cutting mats are hard to cut because, well, they are made to resist cutting

Kay - Where can you get rhinestone rubber?
