Mickey & Friends Cricut cartridge

[acejka]

Hi Everyone,

I am assuming that a few of you guys must own the Mickey & Friends cartridge, I just ordered one off of ebay and it should arrive today or tomorrow. I was wondering if there are any tips or tricks to using it that you guys can give me. I know it has to do a lot with layering.

What has made it easier for you guys??

Also, What kind of difference in size do you use for each piece??


Thanks!!

The cuts definitely need to be larger. The details are so fine, it's hard to do any of the shapes smaller than 3".

Have fun playing with it!

ARG! I hate this cartridge!! I am horrible with it since there are so many little details.

For some reason my DH who has adhd really bad can concentrate on this really well and excells at putting these together. He sat upstairs for almost 2 hours building Mickey and Friends for my trip planning binder. Thank goodness for him!

Yep, they are tricky.. the bigger the better.. I also have the tendency to do it step by step as shown in the booklet.. background, face, eyes, outfit, shoes.. tried bouncing around the first time.. it hit the trash.. the cart did too...but I walked away came back and retrieved my cart and have been happy every since!!!

Good luck!!

Definately bigger is better. The cart has so many little extra things. I actually use it a lot for non-Disney stuff. Do a few practice ones to get the hang of it with all the layering.

I have it...
My advise...
Use it. I haven't! I honestly plan to one day!

Definately bigger is better.

Isn't this usually the case?
