How to Use the Markers for Cricut
Provo changed the world of scrapbooking and card making when it introduced its personal cutter that allows people to customize craft projects with very little effort. But the Cricut personal cutting machine doesn't have to be used just for cutting shapes, letters and numbers. There is an accessory available that can add a dimension to your Cricut craft projects. The markers are designed to replace the cutting blade, allowing the user to enhance greeting cards and scrapbook shapes with the added dimension of an outline in one or more colors.

Tips & Warnings
If your marker is drawing lines where it shouldn't, ensure that the indents in the marker are in the correct position in the blade holder. If this doesn't work, reset your machine.
Using the shadow setting to cut around the shape or number will ensure none of your marks are cut out.
