I’m using metallic blue similar to this but 107lb and I can not get it to cut through! I used the settings in this video as well as other settings including watercolor. I’ve done multiple passes and nothing is cutting it through! Wasting expensive paper trying to get this to work. Do you have any advice? I’m using an explore air 2. Thank you

For 1 pocket the machine cuts it for 1 min and 30 seconds.

How long did it take per invitation? I have 150 invites to make, not sure if it is worth it to do my self or to order.

[@CraftwithLovebyLeana]

Hello B E. If I still remember cutting per invitation took me around 5 mins. The time for cutting the inserts and sticking took me a day. I made 100 invitations.

[@chelseaann7377]

Hi!! I’m just wondering how long your blade lasts doing these pockets? Do you have to change the blade/ buy new ones often? Can you make 100 invitations without changing the blade?

[@CraftwithLovebyLeana]

Hello there! I am sorry for the late reply. I used 1 blade for the 100 pcs. But I think it depends if you have a complex design but if it just for simple cutting it might do like mine.

Do you have to use an 11 x 17 inch card stock paper when you have a 5 x 7 wedding invitation?

[@CraftwithLovebyLeana]

Hi there! For a 5 x 7" wedding invitation you don't have to use 11 x 17" cardstock you can use a letter size if you are planning to make a bi-fold. :) But if you want like mine, you need to use 11 x 17" to plan for the design too. I hope I answer your question.

[@jeniferlucasdiaz5596]

What kind of double sided tap did u us ??

How do you make your cricut see the score lines ? When downloading it doesn’t give a extra layer for scoring or am i doing it wrong ?

[@CraftwithLovebyLeana]

Hello there! For the score lines you need to convert the vertical line as a score line so Cricut will know that it is for scoring. I hope it resolves your question. :)

[@Lo-hx7tw]

What kind of blade are you using? I’ve been making some with a different design but the blade won’t cut it deep enough. I’ve replaced the blade and didn’t fix it.

What was the cost per invitation?

[@CraftwithLovebyLeana]

Hello there, sorry for the late reply. The cardstock cost was 1.35 Canadian Dollar. The cost of the pattern was 21.95 Canadian Dollar. It was a package with same pattern but different use like envelope, bellyband and more. Let's say 5 Canadian per invitation. Not bad right? Just investing your time to do it. :)

[@jennyjones52790]

Would you be willing to sell your modified file? I'd be interested in purchasing :)

[@courtneynasby1851]

How do you get the card stock to not stick to the mat? I’ve tried using SVG files but when I go to peel my card stock off the mat, it starts to rip and the design is not clean (it gets bent and crinkled)

[@CraftwithLovebyLeana]

Hello there! Thank you for watching. About your question, I tried reducing the stickiness of my mat by doing this trick. Sticking an old T-shirt and remove. Repeat this step as many times as you need. The adhesive is washable and will not damage the shirt, but it is a good idea to use an old shirt as the continuous use will begin to wear on it eventually. Then rub your bare hands over the sticky surface. If the T-shirt doesn't remove enough of the stickiness, the natural oils on your hands might help.

[@Bobster986]

That looks like it would take forever to actually make a realistic amount (100 - 200) of wedding invitations to be cost effective. Perhaps this is good for a birthday card, but I really can’t see this be marketable as a mass produce product.

[@CraftwithLovebyLeana]

You are right. What can you suggest so it will be cost effective?

[@Bobster986]

@@CraftwithLovebyLeana Just don't do them.

I appreciate your advice. But doing it for your love one even tho it took so much time is worth it than just buying it from the store. Just saying. :)

[@clomcandle6188]

I have to say I agree with you @craftwithlove and I also think hand/homemade are priceless. And you get the other bonus that unless you tell someone how you made it . No one else will have such beautiful cards. I'm making wedding cards for my niece and it won't cost her a penny as I'm doing it out of my love for her. Also I find if you take the time to shop around for your supplies your be amazed at just how reasonable you can make your cards yourself. And if you don't want sit all the time to make the whole batch, then start the preparations early and just do a few a night. Btw I absolutely love the card you have made so sophisticated. Xx
