I discovered a pretty cool Cricut trick the other day while playing with my Cricut markers. I know that the original Cricut (which is the one I have) does not have a multi-cut feature like the Expression does, but I figured out how to “trick” the original Cricut into doing a multi-cut. When you use the Cricut markers, select the shape you want to draw—with your marker in the blade housing—and then press CUT, to have it draw. Then you hit LOAD PAPER to bring the paper back to the spot where it first began drawing. You replace the marker with the blade, and then press REPEAT LAST. The Cricut then cuts out right where you drew. To “trick” your Cricut into a multi-cut, all you have to do is start with a new piece of paper/chipboard lined up in the corner of your mat. Load the paper, and select your shape, then cut. Next hit the LOAD PAPER button, and it will bring your paper back to the point where it started cutting. Hit the REPEAT LAST button, and then cut. It will cut in the same exact lines as it did the last time. Voila! Multi-cut! Just be careful not to press UNLOAD PAPER because when you reload it, it will not line up exactly with the first cut!
