Made
this Thanksgiving card using my Cricut Explore Air and Simon dies. When I started out making this card I was cutting Kraft cardstock and when I went to score & crease I noticed the cardstock was not straight. I thought I cut it incorreclty so proceeded to cut another pieces, same thing happened. Turns out the Kraft cardstock is not cut even on the 8 1/2" side. Have only used a few sheets out of packet from Hobby Lobby so wondering if they will allow me to exchange for a new pack (I do not have receipt)? Has this happened to anyone else?
Supplies
cardstock/paper: browns, red core'dinations, white, yellow
patt - leaves
Cricut: cartidges - Simply Scarecrow - leaves,
Thanksgiving sentiment written w/ Copper pen
machine - Explore Air
Simon: die - Slimline Nested Rectangles - to cut the darker brown frame

Very cute slim line card and I do have cardstock that isn't completely square and some are worse than others. I usually just trim it after I fold it to have the edges all even. Making them parallel or at right angles to the fold.Thanks for joining us at BBTB2.

ReplyDeleteNice card - I don't think I have ever had an uneven package - but it would be worth a try to take it in especially if you have the wrapper to show it is from their store?? I buy my Kraft by Colorbok from Walmart - I love it! It is nice and thick and around $5 for 50 sheets - they might have raised the price to $5.88 now - as some of the Colorbok sold there is now $5.88 - best Kraft I have ever purchased - I have purchased both the 12x12 [not sure how many in this size] and the 8 1/2 x 11
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous Thanksgiving card. I love the bg paper and the leaves, so cute! The writing is perfect and elegant! Thanks for joining us at bbtb2.
ReplyDeleteHow frustrating with the cardstock being uneven!!! I'd say try taking the package back...the worst they can say is no. Because that is just not acceptable in a product. Love the card, have seen several slimline cards lately and keep meaning to make one. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
