Craft Edge

I've had some problems cutting Grungepaper with my eclips, and wondered if anyone has any tips for me? Here's what I'm doing:
- Setting the blade height/depth at the highest (number) setting, pressure to the highest setting, and speed to the slowest.
- Putting the blade somewhere in the middle of the Grungepaper and cutting from there (not the edge, as that just makes the cutter shove it around).
- Making sure to use a fresh, sticky mat.

The biggest problem is that the paper shifts around, as the Grungepaper doesn't stick very well. Maybe I can use an extra adhesive (like redline tape, if not too thick) to get it to stick to the mat?

Here's a link to Grungepaper, if you're not familiar with it: http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/t ... ogy/Detail

I have had good luck with blue painter tape to hold down paper. Also I have used a rolling pin to really press down and smooth out paper. A new light coat of spray adhesive to the mat might work but too much and you might tear the thinner paper.

Hope this helps.

Thanks! I'll have to try different tapes and see if that helps. I have a can of the spray glue and maybe I can make it super-sticky, too.

I had to cut some glitter paper once so instead of cutting the glittery part, I turned the paper over and cut the image in reverse. This way you can tape down your image and not worry about ruining the back of the paper.
