cricut/mirri card?

[angela]

Hi what speed and depth do you use to cut mirri card on your cricut? I just cut a 6 and 0 out on the highest settings and it didn't cut right thru! advice needed please thanks

I've got the Personal Cricut and 5 is the highest pressure it will go to which I used for mirri but had to take the blade out to move it down to 3 and that seemed to work OK. Got some nice red hearts! Before I bothered to read the instructions, I had half the mirri (well, the backing on it) stuck to the mat. I left the speed on 4.

Have you tried doing a multi cut?(cutting over the same shape/design twice) ?

I'll try both of your suggestions, thanks, I was rushing to be honest as I had promised to make a card for someone, thinking it was middle of jan, but it's tomorow, yikes!

Let us know how you get on!

I have mine at the settings it came with and mine cuts through mirri no problem, will get it out in the morning to check what they are

There is an american site called above rubies studios (i think) and if you sign up for their newsletter you can download a guide to the different speeds and pressures needed for different types of cardstock and paper by weight and by brand. This may help, to be honest I have downloaded it but havent cut mirri on my expression yet so havent referred to it for that but it is great for branded makes such as bo bunny, k & co etc.

Thanks, Morgana, I've just had a quick look and it looks really useful.
