If you are using Myler sheets:
Set the Cricut to custom and select posterboard. Insert the Myler sheet into the Cricut on the strong mat.
If you are using laminate sheets:
Myler sheets are better than laminating sheets as they are thicker, however, laminating sheets are much cheaper. If you have a laminator, simply load an empty laminating sheet into your laminator and let it run through the machine. If you use the 3 mil laminating sheet, then set your Cricut to cardstock. If you use the 5 mil sheet, set the Cricut to custom and select posterboard. Since I only have a Cricut, I am not sure which settings are best with a Silhouette. Insert the laminating sheet into the Cricut on the strong mat.
