I am purchasing a Cricut die cutting machine to make a variety of paper
shapes for such things as paper pouch rings, paper washers, and discs.
What type of paper stock should I be looking for that is firm and not
likely to delaminate during cutting?  I am thinking that something made
from cotton fiber might be best.  Has anyone done this kind of thing?

Once I master circles, I will move on to gaskets of various types using
other materials.
