Notice how the inside of the frame doesn’t appear.

Shari (sboz) from the Cricut.com message board has come up with a great term called “Burping” that describes what you need to do. Essentially what has happened is that “air” has become “trapped” inside the frame. If you expel that air your frame will cut correctly.

“Burping” is easy. Just select the last part of the frame you created (in the example above it was the right hand vertical side of the frame).

• Select Edit, Delete Shapes (or press the Delete key on your keyboard)
