 (The Cricut Expressions book by Cathie Rigby)
Wallpaper (0.0415"/1.05mm thick) with the recommended settings of :

• Speed 2 (medium)
• Pressure 4(high)
• Depth 4.9
• Multi Cut 1

These settings should be considered as a starting point – after a few sample cuts make any necessary adjustments. The settings will also depend on the texture of the wallpaper. Keep the mat really sticky to avoid slippage

 

‎Duck Tape Cutting Settings (for all those who inquired :):
Blade Depth: 5
Pressure: 4
Speed: 1

... If you are apply Duck Tape directly to the project, cut your image from a Duck Tape sheet with the liner still in place. If you are cutting from a roll, you can place your Duck Tape directly to the mat (this is a great way to put your old mats that have lost their stick back to use!).

If you are creating a 3D image, such as a flower, fold the Duck Tape in half before applying it to the mat.
