How to Use the New Cricut Watercolor Cards
This is the newest offering from Cricut, and I, for one, can't wait to try out these Watercolor Cards.

These cards have a unique look, and they provide you with even more design possibilities.
How to Use the Cricut Card Mat 2x2
Here is my first project with Cricut's new Card Mat 2x2. I made 4 thank you cards at once while learning how the new mat works. It was great to be able to cut out all the cards on one mat.

Debossed Holiday card with Cricut Smart Sticker Paper
This card is so cute, and it looks easy, too. The embossed layer with the sticker paper over it looks so fancy, but it wouldn't take that long to make. If you are making the same card for all your friends and family, this would be a good way to crank them out.
Cricut Joy Cutaway Card Project
Here is another first project with a new Cricut card set. The Cutaway Cards allow you to use designs that contain small, unconnected elements, with no need to insert a backer into little slits on the card. I have ruined several cards in the past by accidentally ripping the corners while trying to do this.
Cutaway Card with the Cricut Joy for Mother’s Day
This Mother's Day card could not be simpler to make. Using a pre-designed card template from Design Space takes all the guesswork out of it. You just add your design of choice and let the Cricut do the rest. This project post includes step by step instructions, so there really is no reason not to try your hand at a Cricut Cutaway Card.
What an adorable card! I love the addition of the buttons to emphasize the quote on the front, giving it a 3D effect. This card was cut to size and made into an insert card using a Design Space template. The quote was cut from the front of the card, and the sentiment was written inside, both done with a Cricut Joy and a compatible Pen.

Personalized DIY Cricut Thank You Card
Here is a simple card design made into multiple cards for a group. Choosing a pre-made design from Design Space eliminated the need to weld the design.

What a great idea!
How to Write Inside of Cricut Joy Card
As long as you are taking time to make your own card, why not print inside it as well? Your Cricut Joy can do that just as easily, and the printing will look so pretty.

Unicorn Valentines with Cricut Print Then Cut
These valentines are so cute. I love that you can find any image you like and use Cricut's Print Then Cut function to make your project, whatever it may be. No layering vinyl or cutting multiple colors required here. The twisted lollipops for the unicorn's horn are perfect. What an ingenious idea.
