Default Humid Weather

Does anyone have problems cutting their cardstock or dp in humid weather? I always put my paper in plastic ziploc bags in humid weather but my craft room is in the basement and even with a dehumidifier I notice the paper has a fuzzy edge (new blades and 3 different trimmers).

Yup...humidity is bad--no doubt about it!

I live in FL, which is VERY humid. I use my Pazzles "Inspiration Creative Cutter" (digital cutter) for the majority of my cutting and I have found that it sometimes helps to use my heat gun on my cardstock prior to cutting. It cuts much better when I do!

I live in Florida, too (south Florida, just North of Miami). I've never had any problems with humidity and my stamping supplies. And it's humid here ALL YEAR round!
I haven't noticed any fuzzy edging or anything. Maybe it's there and I've never noticed?

It's been extremely humid here the past two weeks and I have noticed my Silhouette cutting a bit fuzzy on a few shapes. My paper cutter seems ok though, mine is a guillotine style trimmer.
