I just got my Cricut Expression yesterday (and love it already)! My question is what is the best weight cardstock to use so that your shapes/letters don't come out sort of floppy? I want them to hold their shape better if you know what I mean, especially smaller cuts.

This is the cheapest and being white it gives you the opportunity to do some practicing as the cost is minimal' I use this also for my actual card as it is a great weight to add to.

Card stocks have alot of different weights but I find if I put my cricut on the slowest speed it helps not to distort the letters even the smallers ones. Hope this helps.
