Let's Actually Craft | Making A Card With Cricut Joy

 Hey Y'all!

It's been a long time since I truly crafted something, so I got out the Cricut Joy this past Saturday, and made a card using the joy card mat.

I started by unpacking my Joy stuff, and seeing what I wanted to use. Since I had the most pink bases I decided on that. Because this is a sympathy card for someone who passed with Ovarian Cancer, I chose the teal pen and insert (that's the ribbon color). I think it pairs with the pink well!

Let's get started:

(I chose a free premade card project in Design Space.)

Loading the mat was very easy, you just open the card base and slide it into place.

One of my favorite things about the Joy is that it prompts you at every step of the way.

I loaded the material, then the pen. After it was done drawing, it prompted me to switch to the fine point blade and began the cutting process.

One finished I clicked done, and unloaded the mat.

It really was that simple!

Draw time was about 3min, and cutting time around half that, So it really was a quick and easy card.

Mat loaded and ready to go.

Card ready for insert.

Finished card:

Have a great day,
