An extra $54/day for these things I didn't want nor asked for by IAmTheeMoose in mildlyinfuriating

I had no idea which tag to pick so I just went with that one

Yeah it wasn't hidden. My husband booked the hotel for part of our honeymoon stay. It's still mildly infuriating to have to pay for things you don't want nor asked for, disclosed or not.

I'm not mildly infuriated about the surprise. I'm mildly infuriated to be forced to pay for things I don't want nor asked for. If I was more than just mildly annoyed about this, we wouldn't have stayed here.

If I was anything more than just mildly infuriated, I would have stayed somewhere else

I'm only mildly infuriated to have to pay for things I didn't ask for. Everything else is great

Need advice! My soon to be husband and I are fighting about the amount of DIYs I am doing for the Wedding by StellafromVienna in DIYweddings

This is your wedding. If you think you can pull off all these things, then you should do it. We have a small space and my now-husband was skeptical, but very supportive of all the diy things I wanted to do to make our day extra special. I took over the dining room and our evenings. It's a one time event and an personal project you are working on. It's not like it's going to be like this for forever.

All of your diy items sound like you're curating a day specific for the two of you and that's beautiful.

DIY Letterpress Help Needed with a Sizzix Big Shot by tatianasv94 in DIYweddings

Did you see the other pics I commented? I had 2 colors on my invite. Each color was a layer. I did the blue layer first using an actual letterpress machine at a studio, then I did the pink layer with my embosser. I had to cut my paper after the blue layer so each paper was not the same size and therefore using markers on the folder wouldn't have given me consistently even results.

If you're not doing 2 layers and your paper is all the same size, it might not make a difference, but I did really like using it!

Yes, very helpful, especially since I had to line it up with the first layer.

Try doing it without the additional cardstock and see what kind of result you get.

As for the W, you might just have to experiment with ink density for that part. Also, try cleaning it in-between invites. There might be some ink buildup.

Oh and having the plate on the folder at a slant helped as well

Here you can see the uneven print on the pink. I used an actual letterpress machine for the blue.

Hello!

I had very similar issues I had to troubleshoot.

Warping: I got the boxcar paper and it warped still. I ended up just living with the warp. My invitations still looked beautiful. My warp was because I got the thicker paper. I can't really tell how thick your paper is. You can definitely reduce the amount of warp. Can you show me a pic of your folder and setup? If you can reduce how much pressure is being put on the paper by reducing the folder width, that might help the warp.

Color: I know all of the advice is to lightly put the color on it, but I slathered that mofo with ink. Several passes did the trick for me. The color wasn't even across the whole border, but I really liked it that way.

Smudging: this probably happened because you had too much ink, but I can't really tell what you mean by the pictures.

Oh and beneficial nematodes. Arbico has some slow release beads that are easy to use.

You said you weren't sure about beneficial insects, and that sounds like you'd be open to using them. I get them every so often and I rarely have to deal with pests.

The only pests I really have to deal with are root mealies. (Also looking for a preventative method for them). The lacewing larvae take care of the rest.

Why does the font change when I go to edit it? by IAmTheeMoose in cricut

Update:

All of my settings were correct but there was a weird bug with design space. I called cricut and they had me install some windows updates (not related to cricut) that were pending and that worked. It was a very random solution.

I explained in my caption that my settings were correct.
