One of my favorite features of Cricut cutting machines is the level of intricate detail they're capable of cutting! These smart machines can cut, draw, and score tiny details on so many materials. Cutting cardstock PERFECTLY for layered designs can take some practice, though. I'm excited to share my best tips for cutting intricate cardstock designs.
