Deep blade housing...how do I...

[imagine]

I have the deep blade housing for Cricut and it came with a blade.
Silly question, but am I supposed to load this in the blue housing and how???

You don't load it in the housing that came with your cricut. You need the deep blade housing with the blade inserted and you just change it out for the regular blade/housing. I did read on someone's blog that you can just change the blades out and using the original housing but I was afraid of that. I just bought it on ScrapbookersMustHaves.com. Excellent prices.

I know that some people will disagree, but the blade works just fine in the original housing that came with your machine. I've used it in mine, and I haven't had any problems. This is just my personal experience. I don't know if others have had issues with this.

The deep blade which has the blue rubber cap goes in the (blue) deep blade housing. Just slip it in just the same as you do with the standard housing (green) and blade (red rubber cap).

I don't know that I would use the deep blade in the standard housing. The deep blade is a different size than the standard one. The channel it fits in the deep blade housing would be a different size than the standard one.
