In this video I'm making a custom Mother's Day card from scratch using my Cricut Maker machine. You can make this with your Cricut Explore Air 2 machine as well. In this video I'll be showing how to cut, write, score, and use print then cut to make the card.

I use Art glitter glue there's no glitter in it but that's the only glue I use. The you use very little of it a dot will stick forever the less glue you use the better. AMAZON has it. I don't use my cricut as much so i don't know all to do the flattening etc. Thank you for this video it was very helpful.

Thank you for this video…. Cricut Design space makes it hard to understand how to do a card…. I have no clue what size the cards are when I look through the projects!!! Do you know what size cards are R10, R20, R30 and R40…… that’s really confusing… I just wanted to find a card the size you would buy at the store and and envelope and it’s very hard to find one… I believe the store ones are about a 5x7 …. Thank you!!!!

Envelope center fold area should be 5.25 x 7.25 - I make sure the fold lines are attached and then I pull on the center piece and make it the size I need - by doing that the rest of the envelope auto enlarges to the right size

Ms. Kayla can you make your own cutaway card with your own cardstock to be used on cricut card mat from a 12x12 card stock sheet, or would you have to add you own sheet behind the cover after using cricut to cut front out,the glue foil or what ever on back of front cover cutout that's what I've been doing i wondered if there was a better way? Do you know what I mean,I just don't want to buy cutaway cards!

I am using blank card stock invitations from Wilton to write on so they’re already the right size but I can NOT figure out how to line it up so the writing is centered on my invitation!

My paper gets stuck to my light grip mat and I can’t peel it off easily without the card bending and creasing and even though I chose the right weight it didn’t cut through either what am I doing wrong ?

@ChristinaFoster 2 жыл бұрын

I have found that thinner paper just doesn’t work well on even the light grip mat. You can find thinner cardstock that cuts and removes from the mat so much better. I tried cutting regular computer paper on the light grip mat once, and it was a complete disaster!

Why do you have to print the design on a regular printer, then put it through the Cricut to cut and score? Why not have the Cricut print, score and cut all at once? I don't understand how the Cricut "knows" where to cut.

There's not a way to fill it in on Cricut Design Space, sadly! You either have to find a find a writing font that gives it one line or color it in yourself. Usually I ended up trying to find a writing font because it looks a little nicer than filling it in.
