it is actually not much different from cutting paper. you have to make sure you have a really sticky mat though. Just put the vinyl on the mat (paper side down) then cut your image.if you only want to cut the vinyl and not the paper back, pressure should be at 3 or 4, blade depth should be 5.
If you want to use stickers for advertising or promoting yourself or an event for your business, select vinyl stickers on paper. Vinyl stickers are more durable, fade-resistant, and retain their stickiness longer than stickers made from paper. Also, they are resistant to weather conditions, which means you can put stickers on public display space and are a long-lasting way to promote your business, product, or event.
You can cut vinyl and make stencils to use with paint or glass etching. You can cut fabric, felt and chipboard. You can cut out shapes to use on cards or scrapbook pages.
You can use any type of paper using your cricut. Several things you should take into consideration .. 1- construction paper is very fibrous. it will leave paper fibers on your mat, thereby shortening the life (stickiness) of your mat. It is also quite thick and will dull your blade relatively quickly 2- Thicker paper, glitter paper, cardstock will dull your blade quicker than simple printed papers. 3- remember to use only AF/LF paper in your scrapbooks!
