I have spent countless hours over the past week and more paper than I care to think about trying to cut the pieces of my Christmas card. I tried everything I could think of and then finally noticed that the items on the left side of the mat cut fine but those on the right did not. This lead me to closely inspect the cutting strip and discover that it was gouged on the right hand side! OMG I have never been so relieved and so mad at myself at the same time. Don't know how it happened but I have ordered a replacement and can't wait to get going again.
