This is the Cricut model that I am using in the video. It works great for punch cards but it can do much, much more.I bought mine to make punch cards but I find myself using it to make greeting cards, personalized items, vinyl decals, labels and even paper flowers!
Other Cricut models that will work for punch cards but do even more than the one I have are:
Cricut Explore Air 3
amzn.to/3Aos5Zd
Cricut Maker 3

Tools I am using are:
Cricut scraper: amzn.to/3PQGNxI
Generic Cutting Mats: amzn.to/3dTqz9M
I used plastic notebook dividers from Target but they are available at Walmart, Dollar Tree and probably lots of other places. They look similar to these: amzn.to/3AQPsvI
If your card is longer than 11 inches, you will need a longer material to cut your card (poster board will work in a pinch but won't last forever and it could tear or crease) and a 12 x 24 inch Cricut mat if longer than 12 inches. amzn.to/3RaEbM5
Stencil plastic: 12 inch by 17.5 inch translucent mylar. It cuts well on the .4 mil stencil setting on the Cricut. amzn.to/3ekLHq1
If you don't have a cutting device, you can still cut cards by hand with a specialized punch and cards:
Pack of 10 blank cards: amzn.to/3NNYgsi
Roll of 100 blank cards (much more economical): amzn.to/3RI2wL9
Specialized punch for cards (has a guide pin that aligns punch perfectly on card): amzn.to/3H3ctOh
Clips for attaching cards so they go through the knitting machine continuously: amzn.to/3RGDDzu
Thanks for watching and happy knitting!
