Have a “paper only” cutting blade
Many crafters have different scissors for different types of cutting material. For example I wouldn’t dream of using my fabric scissors to cut paper! The same can be said for Cricut cutting blades.
Hello creative family
Check your blade between each cut.
The more intricate your designs, the more likely you are to get small bits of paper stuck in your blade which will result in tears. Prevent tears by checking your blade between cuts!

Use a clean, sticky Cricut LightGrip Cutting Mat
If you have any leftover pieces of paper on your mat, and put a new piece of paper overtop it will create a bump which can result in your paper tearing or miscutting.

Bray your paper to the mat
This will help to ensure that every square inch of your paper is adhered to the mat and that no areas lift while cutting.
