I haven't had my Cricut Expression all that long. Made some test cuts. Then 2 cards for birthdays. Then got started on my Christmas cards. About 32 5" cards cut with snowflake cut out in the front, and about 20 5" squares cut, the blade really started making a mess of the Bazzill paper. Tearing, skipping. I tried settings. Cleaned the cutter tip of paper & the housing to make sure the blade spins. Another cut test, and nothing. Its like not even cutting it.
So, I headed off to Walmart for replacement blades because its the closest & I need to finish these cards. They were out of blades, but did have the Deep Cut housing and blades for that. So, that's what I got.
Hopefully, I can use the Deep Cut to finish. Right? I haven't had a chance to try them yet. Hoping it at least cuts!
In my opinion, that's not a lot of cuts from a blade, but I'm new and was certainly expecting it to last longer than that.
Thoughts?
And if I'm going to be buying lots of blades, where do you buy them? And do you buy a different companies or do you buy Cricut blades?
