Thanks for being HUMAN, Angie! 😊💓 I don’t know how many times I’ve STAMPED a sentiment inside a card upside down… 🤦🏻‍♀️ I just cut the card front away from the back and mount it onto another card base-nobody’s ever called me out for that. If they did, I’d give them a hair flip and snatch that card right back outta’ their hands! 🤣

Per my other comments in two of your other Cricut card mat / card sets video, this is another great one! Love learning all but especially to watch those corner cuts not being misaligned & how to find things in CDS. I was so lost in there yesterday & couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t find just corner cuts or narrow down for insert card projects. Now I know!

The only issue I can see is when removing the cards from the card mat that they tend to be difficult to remove and curl slightly. I just make cards without the card mat and then it also gives you the option to make them any size that you want to fit any envelope you have on hand. Thanks for the video Angie.

@HarleyGrl23 Жыл бұрын

I don't like how the inserts stick out in the corners so just glue them down like if they were a cutaway. I actually stopped using the foil tool on the Maker a long time ago, and have tried the Joy one but with both, the foil doesn't seem to cover and leaves gaps resulting in a lot of wasted materials. And with most of the premade cards just about every one wants the fine tip which barely shows and there's no option to change it. And since they require a fine tip you can't use the Joy so you have to go out and buy the 2x2 mats. :/ The cutaway cards are AWESOME and need to come in a bigger variety of colors I do have some issues where the same cutaway setting tries to pick up the entire insert once in a while and old holographic inserts don't seem to work well (at least for me, the entire thing comes up when weeding) but it's not a deal breaker. I loooove your videos. :) Ty for explaining things so well.

What I don't get is the insert that came with the package doesn't fit in the little parts that were cut out to put them into. I keep having to cut them down. I picked the size it said it was in the little drop down. And yeah it was very hard to get off the card mat. All with the foil went well, thanks for showing this, you show all very well.

Great video! I'm waiting on my 2x2 mat and I just purchased a few different card kits that were on sale. I purchased a different brand of foil transfer sheets to try out, but they did not come with tape. What type of tape would you suggest using on the Recollections brand foil that I purchased?

@AngieHolden 2 жыл бұрын

You can use washi tape. However, you need to make sure that foil is for use with pressure. Some foils are used with heat.

With the cards which don't give you an option to personalise them I saw a great tip from another Cricut user : click on make it then when it appears on the matclick on the hamburger menu then Canvas and your image will appear on the canvas. From here you can use contour and add and subtract objects as you wish, change to pen, foil etc. then save your project and make it as you please

Are the original foil transfer sheets the same size as these new kits or are they bigger?

@AngieHolden 2 жыл бұрын

These are all different sizes specific to the card so they are different from those you purchase separately. Now, you can use those you purchase separately and just trim them with scissors.

Thank you for the video. I don’t know if it’s me or what but every time I remove the foil from the card it always tears part of my cards off. Not sure why. I do take it off slowly and it still does it every single time. I love the foil look but it I have a layer of the cardstock pulled off I don’t want to keep wasting cards. Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me? Also I found that if I save the inner part of the letter I just stick it down with some glue and it looks great. It still is cut out around the inner part but then I just stick the centers back in and it looks great!

It may be the brand of cardstock you are using? Not sure.

@@AngieHolden I'm using the Cricut brand cards with inserts and with foil plus I bought a bunch of extra foil colors. Plus my card mat is so sticky I have to be super careful when I'm removing them. I have only been using my Cricut for actually a year exactly today because they sent me an email. I didnt realize it had been that long. But maybe I got a bad batch or something I'm not sure. I will just keep trying until I can figure it out.
