I just got a Joy and I have to laugh. I did not remove the protective screen, so my card went all over the place, lol. I then found your video and it all made sense! Thank you for a detailed video that was easy to understand. Back to card making now haha.

I looked up this video because this happened to me! Now my protective cover is cut at the top haha! i thought it was so straight forward lol

I also did not realize that there was a protective film. But now both my protective film and the adhesive part of the Card Mat are cut into by my blade. Is it normal for the adhesive part to get cut out? If so, how long is it supposed to last if it keeps getting cut up?

I agree this is great now I might enjoy making cards, can you also write with the pens inside the cards , ...................

@kaylanicole896 4 жыл бұрын

Yes. Just like all of the cricuts that have the pen writing and drawing feature. You go to the design space and click txt and type in the txt box what you want it to write then set it to write it and not cut it.

Dang I wish I had seen your video first....When I went to make my first card I didn't see there was a clear mat and took the label off assuming the instructions were referring to that and now I cut up my protective cover Arrrg :/ I'll be tuning in with you from now on Thank you!!

@pamelamendez9213 4 жыл бұрын

I'm having a problem with the Cricut joy cutting the image to high on the card mat. I had my machine replaced and the new one is also cutting high. I noticed the tandiem bike card you made looked like it too was cut a bit high. Do you know if there is a fix for this?

What joy pen do you need when writing on a blue card

@kaylanicole896 4 жыл бұрын

There are tons of pens. I bought the 3 pack of black at JoAnns yesterday for $8.99. But you could use glitter or metallic or any color you want. I always test the pens first gonna scrap of the color I'm about to use to make sure the pen is writing and that it shows up well. I think the black or a dark blue would work well if your using a lighter or medium blue and if ur using a dark blue paper I would use white. But that's just me. You can use any color but the neutrals show up alot better than the glitters and lighter colors. I'd only use those on like a white paper you cut as a txt box.

@kaylanicole896 4 жыл бұрын

I use all of my cricuts for scrapbooking. I was never into card making until my curiosity peaked with the new mat and joy machine. I mainly use my machines to cut out letters and shapes that i scrapbook with and for the writing function so i cak journal on my pages and not worry about my handwriting! It does alot more than just cards but the card mat is only available for the joy as of now. I'm sure theyll make it in a 6x12 and 12x12 mat for the other machines bc the feedback is going to be overwhelming for it.

I think this mat could / should be made for the other machines. I don’t plan on buying the Joy because I’ve only had my Explore for 3 months. I won’t be watching any Joy videos in the future.

@Cooking_Through_Time 4 жыл бұрын

Dee Ann Poole I can see where Cricut is doing this to make more money because they r in business to make money, but I’m like u, I’ve not had my explore air 2 long enough nor use it enough to spend over 200 dollars for more Cricut products. I’ll watch videos only to see if they come out with a reason that I say will justify me buying one but I really doubt it.

@alwayshavestrengthjoy7450 Ай бұрын

With coupons and discounts, it feels nicer for the money. If the card packs seem expensive you can use your own envelopes & card stocks on hand, to cut to the size specifications of the pack. I brought one card pack for a sample and then cut my own cards there after, using all those heavier 12x 12 sheets., I have around with unused sheets. Don’t be afraid to do budget friendly for coordinating your papers. Mine came out beautifully. You can dress up with embellishments,or leave it nice and simple for good budgeting. Happy crafting!
