How do I make sure the paper is lined up in the Cricut for…?

I am trying to make invitations. I bought the "New Arrival" cartridge for my Cricut. I plan to cut out the cards with the machine and use the new Cricut color markers to do the writing inside. How do I make sure the card is lined up correctly.

Has anyone done it before, who can share how they did it?

I know everything has to be lined up just right with these machines or you end up going of the paper.

Any help would be great.

I need help with Cricut markers and cutting?

I have been trying to use the Cricut Markers and then cut out the image. I get the marker to work fine, change the blade, hit load paper and cut and it cuts but it does not line up with my drawing. Any suggestions? Help Please!

Are there any images that come on the Cricut Expression besides the ones in a cartridge?

Hey, another craft question for those who have a Cricut Expression-

I am getting ready to purchase the "as seen on TV" Cricut expression bundle, It comes with 2 cartridges and a bunch of other things.

My question is- Are there any images that come on the Cricut alone? or do you have to have a cartridge to get any images from it at all? Thanks so much!

Tips for cutting fabric on the cricut machine?

Hi :) I am wanting to try out some applique, and wanted to cut out shapes on my cricut machine. I have looked online for some tips or tutorials, but haven't really found anything.
I am wanting to know what blade I use, regular or deep. How fast I should cut, and what to set the pressure to.
I will most likely be cutting out thinner fabric, so I doubt I'll need the deep blade. Would I meed a new mat as well?
Any other tips would be wonderful!

What can I do with a Cricut Expression?

I bought a Cricut Expression at the store for $250. I am not sure if I want to keep it. I want to make some cool things but I've already invested $250. I see the cartridges are very expensive. It came with essential shapes and the schoolbook cartridge. How much can I do with this without putting any more money into it? Besides scrapbooks, what else can I do with it?
