Do you feel that the slice is the right tool to mass produce (50 to 100) alike greeting cards? I was also wondering how many images are on a card.

I cut a bunch of flowers to decorate a paper chest, I did have to replace the cutting die often or it would tear the paper. I think I broke it.

Yes and No. It does but it is not as sharp as photo paper. It is as good as the quality of print your printer gives for greeting cards. I thinkwhat I''m trying to say is the weight of the stock is not equivalent to photo stock in weight. I do a lot of cards and have on occasion scanneda picture into the greeting card and was pleased with the outcome. I want to say that the size of the card stock is not the size of pictures,i.e. 4x6, 5x7, 3x5 8x10, etc.

You could probably FIT over 50 business card into one, maybe 100, but they would probably break. They are very fragile.

Out of the entire thing I got mostly common. I couldn't tell you the exact percentage, but it was a good 65-80% common. Even though most of them were common I didn't get a huge amount of duplicates. I got a few play sets of things, but I don't mind that. The rest of the cards were uncommon, with one rare (which was an older generation card). Again I can't remember the exact number of cards of each that I got, but for the amount of uncommons and cards that I didn't have, it was worth it. If you're looking for rare or mythic cards then you may have to look elsewhere, sorry.

THERE IS!! I do not personally owned it however it is super cute and I believe it has a lot of people in it, so to me, I think that would equal a lot of layers and a lot of cutting. It's really cute, though and we'll probably be leaving in the next cartridge despite the amount of cutting involved.

Yes, it cuts felt beautifully. However, I would limit it to no more than two layers at a time. I've also used it to card stock with it to make hexagon templates, again no more than two sheets at a time.

There are 25 recipe cards and at least 50 sleeves. I do not use the recipe cards. I use Word to record my recipes and print them on blank 4x6 Avery Postcards. These fit perfectly into the sleeves.

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! Sounds like some people got lucky but that in general this printer is not the one to get if you want to print greeting cards or business cards....the search goes on! :-D

When I bought mine, i had to search and find a company that sold them. If you are kinda crafty they make a 6 hole punch and you can make your own out of card stock.

Well Cindy, that is something I haven't ever tried....give me a minute to run it through my Big Shot and I will let you know. How's that? DRUM ROLL....for dramatic effect!!! I used an embossing folder by Darice mainly for the style of design and it worked beautifully. I ran one piece through several times and it looks OK while having a slight curve in it like most paper or card stock. Then I ran a second piece through once then back to the starting position because it is easier to remove the folder from that position and it looks great too, without quite as much curve. The flower design is embossed in the plastic very well with no tearing or milky look around the edges, that I was concerned about. I chose this folder because the design has several sizes of daisy like flowers, some swirls formed from dots and also a couple tiny hearts. Besides the curve I can see no difference in the results. None of the designs in the folder caused a puncture in the plastic especially the dotted swirls. I believe you would be very happy with the Cuttlebug results too. So go for it...and by the way, thanks for asking, I love passing along information that I have learned so others can increase their knowledge and fun in their creativity. Don't forget you can stamp on this with a permanent ink too and color it. Have fun!

Well I have a Program from Hall Mark, (Hallmark Card Studio 2014) that's what I use to make the Cards Christmas Birthdays etc. I do half folds Quarter fold, envelopes and others.The Hallmark Papers and the Avery I used is letter size.The images I used are from the program itself and some I download from internet on some cards I stretched them out to fit on the card. And the program has feature to maximize the size, all depends on the end product you want.Thanks

Tip on printing greeting cards. Use Matte finish presentation paper. Make them 1/4 fold design. You'll get awsome quality and they're easier to fold than card stock anyway. It's normally 32 to 35# HP brand seems to be the best value at this time.That said....I don't think I want this printer as I often need to print on heavy paper for other print jobs.

You can probably print out the squares on a sheet of paper. Afterwards, you can cut and paste them on a cardboard (this can be fun) and then everyone can have a card to play with. That's what my family used to do. Now, they have up to 60 homemade cards. If you decided to do this, make sure there are no repeating pictures on any of the cards.

I think you would be able to cut three sheets of card stock, but not necessarily accurately. I can cut thick chipboard, which would seem about equivalent to three sheets of card stock, but I have to make sure to hold the entire sheet really well or the blade starts to pull the sheet in, resulting in an angled cut. I would guess something similar would happen, especially with the bottom sheet of card stock. One sheet of thick card stock cuts very nicely, two is a little tougher, but can be accurately done. I've never tried more than that.

I was able to fit 8 cards in a sleeve, though they were a bit tight. Mine were all greeting cards though - so that would be 16 pieces of cardstock all together. I think you could probably fit 10 in there if they were very flat.

I had 360 unique cards in my pack. Duplicates were pretty uneven, got 43 of the same card, 37 of another, and few others in the high 20s. I ended up with about 215 cards that were duplicates beyond the 4th (generally useless unless you are too lazy to swap out cards to another deck when needed). Whether or not the cards were being hand sorted to have a max of 4 duplicates in the past or not doesn't matter, it appears that its not the case now.
