I love how easy homemade card making is with the Cricut Joy and the Cricut Joy Card Mat! The cards are perfect Cricut Joy beginner projects.
In this video I'll show you how to make a card from beginning to end, including using the pen tool to write inside the card! AND, not only will we write a sweet note, I'll show you how to draw with the pen tool. 💕

Hey friends! It's now 2023 and I'm sharing a NEW CARD MAKING SERIES on the channel. I'd love for you to follow along. You can find the first episode in the series here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oMh7ZJqE15i6fac.html In Episode 1 I cover how to find card designs in Cricut Design Space on desktop and in both apps. In Episode 2 I cover card kits, mats, how to change your blade, and we make our first card. In Episode 3 we'll add pens, markers and opaque pens (writing white on dark papers!). Then we'll move on to foil, embellishments, writing on the inside of the cards, envelopes, shaped cards, print then cut, photo cards and so much more. Hope you'll subscribe and I'll see you there! 💕

Hi Lisa! Only three cards? Eeek! I switched mine recently but I had made about 25 cards on it. It wasn't super sticky after about 10, but good enough to hold. I'm not really sure how to bring them back to life.

So glad you like the video Debra and thank you for subscribing! 💕 As for the cuts, I hear you! That happens to me sometimes. I find when I place it on the mat perfectly at the top I fair a lot better, but I think it has something to do with the fold/crease. Those cuts are so precise and when the cardstock is even a 1/8 of an inch off it gets dangerously close to the edge. Wish I had a fix for you!!

Is there a Cricut community for support that I can ask these kinds of questions? I’m very frustrated. Ty

@KimByers 3 жыл бұрын

Judith! Sorry for not responding. I don't ever get notifications for the follow-ups. I was literally just browsing through and saw your note. Eeek! You've probably already figured all this out, but most likely what is happening is that in the pen choices you have one of the Explore or Maker pens chosen. Make sure you choose the Joy pen. There are tons to pick from.

You are an awesome teacher. I just got my Joy 2 days ago and I am already having so much fun. So do you have a trick for keeping the little bits down on the cut part so they do not get accidentally damaged when people hold it? I did a Feliz Navidad card but the parts of the cut out that are floppy do not lay down properly and I almost lost a few of them. I used glue of course but I was wondering if there was a particular glue that might not penetrate to the other side. Thanks again. Love and Peace, Catherine

Hey Catherine! I use a fine "pen glue gun" sometimes. It's made by Xyron. I didn't see it on Amazon, but this one made by Westcott is similar: amzn.to/3pnbjoO The key is not to put too much on so it doesn't bubble. Thanks so much for watching and Merry Christmas! I'm glad you're loving your new Joy!

@KimByers 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Wendy! So glad you like the video. 😊As for the predesigned cards, it would be very difficult. You could use the contour tool to erase a word, but you wouldn't have the same font to replace it. A few of the designs they provided both Mum and Mom, but not all of them. Happy crafting! 💕

Hi Kim, I did the writing and then added a flower to the middle between the writing and then grouped it all together. But when I went to print it/draw it it was all out of sequence and I had to rearrange it on that page. When I went back to try and regroup everything I could not get the flower "grouped" in. I am VERY new (like 2 days) to this and I'm sure I didn't do something right. Any suggestions or another video I should watch? Thank you so much.

Hello Kim. I truly enjoy your channe! I was so excited about creating my messages inside my cards and I'm doing a wonderful job at it thanks to you. I've advanced to adding a border around my messages/greetings. But I noticed the colorful boarder loses all its colors after I attach everything. This is truly disappointing because it loses the pretty look I'm trying to create. Is there anything I can do to keep the colorful boarders from turning black? The border I was trying to use had 7 different colorful circles. Thank you!😊

@KimByers Жыл бұрын

Hey Sharon! So glad you're loving the channel. Thank you for watching! As for the card, make sure that your circles are pens and not cuts. If pens, you should be able to make all the colors you want. The attach tool can do that depending on what you're making and what you're attaching because when you "attach" it's telling all those cuts to go to one mat and the mat can only be one color. Let me know and I'll try to help you figure it out. 😊

Good morning! So the insert, that came with card in Cricut Design Space, didn't fit? That is odd. It sound s like a design issue and something Cricut needs to address in the system.
