Hey friends! It's now 2023 and I'm sharing a NEW CARD MAKING SERIES on the channel. I'd love for you to follow along. You can find the first episode in the series here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJOuYmqJp5eJg9U In Episode 1 I cover how to find card designs in Cricut Design Space on desktop and in both apps. In Episode 2 I cover card kits, mats, how to change your blade, and we make our first card. In Episode 3 we'll add pens, markers and opaque pens (writing white on dark papers!). Then we'll move on to foil, embellishments, writing on the inside of the cards, envelopes, shaped cards, print then cut, photo cards and so much more. Hope you'll subscribe and I'll see you there! 💕

Re-watching this video helped me realize that. I went back in and unsaved the corners that were the wrong size so now I shouldn't have anymore problems. Thank you! Update: I put everything together and went to make it. The card size is 4.25x6 with no option to change it. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Update #2: I think I finally got it! I decreased the image size inside the cut corners and now I am getting the correct card size and everything when I go to "make it" ! That was rough but I think I'm okay now!

@KimByers3 жыл бұрын
Hey Amanda! In the beginning of Joy the cards were not editable and skipped right over the canvas, not allowing you to make tweaks. Now you can bring it into canvas and use the Contour Tool to make tweaks to the design. 😍💕 That said, I wouldn't change the pre-set size or you'll have problems when it goes to mat. I've not been on the Trial version of Access for a long time so I'm sorry I don't know if that is why you are seeing the card that way. The Cricut help desk is super helpful and quick. Maybe contact them? Here's a quick tutorial on the Contour Tool if you need it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIGYdpSQpLJsbMU More of my Cricut Joy videos and adding more all the time! kzbin.info/aero/PLYJAbsWmbUWYQvlfCj2d203lfVxeSlVbv Happy crafting!! 💕

@KimByers3 жыл бұрын
Hey there! So glad you like the video! As for the corners, that has happened to me before too. You have to be really careful of the paper placement on some designs. They don't look any different on screen, but I had a few cut dangerously close too. Shift your card up or down a bit depending on which side is getting cut off. If it is a consistent place, take a sharpie and mark your mat so you know where to place your paper each time. And maybe test with scrap cardstock so you don't waste your cards! :) Thanks for watching!

Hey there Bijoux! Do you mean the "quick corners" in Design Space? (That is what they're called in case you need to search for them.) I've not had trouble with them being too small. Make sure that you're choosing the right corners for the size card you're making (R30, R40, S40, etc.) and don't resize them once you have them on the canvas. If you want to resize something in your card design, make sure that the corners are not selected. To keep from ruining any more card insert kits, I would cut some regular printer paper down and test them before cutting another card. I have a card making kit video here that might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3epeoelg895opo I hope you figure it out and can get back to having fun!

which cricut trimmer do you use and which bone folder/paper creaser do you recommend. I already have trimmers (Creative Memories) but thinking of up dating to a Cricut trimmer. Have read reviews and some are real pleased - others rated Cricut with a 1. Thanks for your help. I have learned alot from your videos.

They were originally called "quick corners" and I think that search term still works. You can also use the Quick Start feature in the phone app and it brings all the corners right up for you. I have a video on it if you've not tried it yet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXzLaJichtmJmqc Happy card making!!💕

Hi there! Are you using the blank card templates (with the cut edges) as your base card? That is the trick. Use the Joy card blanks and then add your own details. If you do that, and your needle is good, your machine shouldn't mess up your card. I hope this helps! Happy crafting and thanks for watching! 😍

Using the Cricut Joy to make insert cards; some designs have a lot of cut details, that don't always lay well, should I glue to back before I use the insert card?? thank you for your tutorial.
@KimByers Жыл бұрын
Hey Bijoux! Yes. I've had that issue before and I will insert my "insert card" into the finished card, and then use glue (the Xyron pen glue gun or small ZOT glue dots, both on Amazon) to secure the stray items. I've even attached extra little details with raised foam dots for a 3-D effect. Happy card making! 💕

@KimByers4 жыл бұрын
Hey Kim! Hmmm... it shows in design as 5.5 and when it goes to mat it's larger? Did you cut it and the edges were off the paper? I know the mat can go up to 6.25, but I've not had one change sizes from Design Space to the mat. I'm not sure what's wrong. It might be a good idea to call the Cricut help desk. They are wonderful!

@KimByers3 жыл бұрын
Hey Karen! So typically when something is grayed out in Cricut Design Space you're clicking on something else that makes it unavailable. For instance, in the canvas, if you're highlighting more than one item in a design (like two flowers) then the tools (contour, slice, etc.) won't work because you've selected two things. If you click off and back on to just one, the tools will show as available. I tell you all this because maybe you've have more than one thing highlighted or selected? Or, you chose a base design that only comes in one size? I'm not sure if I'm being helpful at all, but this is all I can think of! I hope you figure it out!! 💕

I am not sure I understand why the words have to be connected. Wouldn't the joy either draw or cut the individual letters from the card stock?
@KimByers3 жыл бұрын
Yes, the Joy can absolutely draw or cut, but for them to be attached to the card, the letters have to be connected. Otherwise when you cut the letters out, there is just a hole. Does that make sense? If you cut one you'll see what I mean. Thanks for watching and happy crafting!

Hey Cara! When you say "crumpled," do you mean the machine ate or tore your materials? If you've cut a lot of paper lately, sometimes paper dust and lint can get under the rollers area and on the blade. It may need to be cleaned.

Hey! I've actually not tried to make one but I can bet it will take a lot of weeding. If you're getting a "blob" then your blade might be dull. You might want to replace it soon. It could also be your paper. Are you using the Cricut kits? Or a lighter paper stock? Lighter weights can sometimes tear. Thanks so much for watching and I hope the next one turns out better! 💕

@KimByers2 жыл бұрын
Hey Kate! In Cricut Design Space there are multiple size cards for the same corner cut. When you search "Quick Cuts" or "Quick Corners" in Cricut Design Space you should see that there are choices. You may be selecting the larger corners and the system is flipping your design? If that isn't the problem then I'm not sure what it could be. The support desk at Cricut is super helpful. If you keep having the problem you might want to give them a call. Thanks so much for watching and happy crafting!! 💕

Hi Daniella! There are not really options for the card mat. It's just the one size. When you're looking at the mat layout right before you cut there is a small option in the left side that has two choices but 4.5x6.25 is the largest option. Were you hoping to cut bigger?
