This year we are making our own Mother’s day cards using our new Cricut Joy! If you haven’t seen it yet, the Cricut Joy is the newest, powerful but tiny, cutting machine from cricut. It can create customised labels, vinyl decals, iron on transfers, birthday banners and so much more.
One of the things I love about this machine is that it’s small and easily portable. It fits in the cupboard or looks great on the table, packs away easily and sets up instantly making it super easy to move from room to room You are using smaller material size, which makes the whole Joy portable and compact! Perfect as I don’t have alot of space at home. I cannot wait till #isolife is over, Il be able to take this baby to friends houses to get some crafting on!

Step 2 – Review Artwork – make sure the “on Card Mat” is selected and choose “Make”
Step 3 – Load Paper on Mat – using the Insert Card Kits, place a folded card into the mat so that the back of the card is protected. Insert into the Cricut Joy machine. The sensors will feed the mat in.

Step 4 – Cut – your machine is connected by bluetooth and there are no buttons on the machine. You’ll have to make all your actions on your mobile device or computer.
Fold Over To Sticky Side
Step 5 – Insert – Once the card is complete, insert the backer card into the corners of the card and you’ll immediately have a pop of colour and lots of dimensions to your card.
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
• To write or draw on the inside of the card, fold the card inside out and repeat the steps above. Be sure that your Draw design is properly oriented and positioned on the project preview screen.
• Cricut Joy Blade will leave impressions on your mat as it cuts all the way through your material. It’s fine and normal and actually looks kinda cool
