Looking for Blade recommendations

I recently got the Cameo 5a and making stickers. I new to the Silhouette world so I’ve been watching a lot of videos. Most mention the different blade sizes. What is the best blades you use and how do you recognize when to use those? I’m wanting to order some but didn’t know if there is a certain type that works best.

Winter Forest Pop-up

I didn't make a card front because it just sits on my shelf. Very simple 2-layer pop-up.

If I were to repeat this I would glue everything that has to move instead of using tape because the front piece wants to pull up whenever I open the card. Replace mountains with a large holiday sentiment to make it a Christmas card. Lower the right hinge so it doesn't show as much.

Trees - Sizzix Tim Holtz Thinlits 666334

Snow - Spellbinders City Holiday (Love this set so much, I always use the bits and bobs for other things)

Mountain - I cut some printer paper the same size as the card, sketched out the mountains, then cut out of cardstock. Probably not repeatable since I cut up my template sketch.

RIP 1st Gen finally kicked the bucket

It died. I can't get it to turn on at all.

I got this on a Black Friday when I was in my early 20s. Late 30s now. Pretty great machine for how much I've used it.

What model/machine would you suggest as a replacement?

print then cut calibration

so I finally found the calibration menu. NOW when I load my test page on mat to start the process, it won't cut! The carriage slowly runs vertically and horizontally for a couple of inches and then just stops. No cuts on the paper.

I don't know why all of a sudden my Cameo 5 eludes me. Normally I just sit down and GO.
