I have searched and not sure if I should use the glitter paper settings or reg cardstock. It's shiny, not textured. It's thinner than cardstock - more like patterned paper. Any tips appreciated!

I haven't cut glitter paper with my Cameo, so no tips, sorry. I have heard though that glitter paper will dull your blade, so be aware of that (or switch out for an older one that would still work).

If you're talking about this kind of cardstock, I usually have my pressure in the high 20s/low 30s, speed at 4ish and overcut on. I have an original Cameo, so your settings might vary if you have a newer one. It probably doesn't need that high of pressure all the time to be honest, but I like to be sure it will cut. I'd suggest just cutting a small piece off and experimenting with low settings and if that doesn't work, move up your pressure and down your speed. I've found it cuts well! |

It’s pretty cheap stuff, even at full price. I would encourage you to try a sheet out and see how it cuts. It probably cuts fairly easily, so I’d start with a lightweight CS to copy paper weight. (I can’t remember what settings there are on the list.) Don’t be afraid to experiment with something as cheap as paper!
Remember that a deeper cut won’t necessarily give you a cleaner cut. Ideally, you only want to use the very tip of your blade. Anything more than that and you are likely to tear the paper. If you aren’t getting a clean cut, flip the paper over and cut from the back. If it’s humid in your area, I find that I get better cuts when it’s less humid out. Start with lighter pressure and depth and work your way up from there. If you don’t pull the mat from your machine and don’t change any settings, you can just set the machine to cut again. I usually check a spot like the inner area of a letter to see if it was a good cut.
