I made the Cupcake card with My Joy but bottom was little short I did 4.25 x 5.5 Can I use size 40? On Joy?😮

[@mechellewinslow65]

I only have a joy so I would love to know this also!

[@mechellewinslow65]

I heard her say that cricket joy is R30 the largest so I would use R20 maybe

[@CreativeHousewives]

You cannot, that size is too big for the Joy :)

[@gwen593]

I am getting a cricut for Xmas , so getting prepared . Hehe. Could you please tell me asi will be using an iPad , how will I transfer without a mouse . Thanks for today . Just today found you .

[@DeonkaMazie]

I loved learning how to use the cricut card mat. I would have liked to see how you remove the letters from the card mat. Didn't realize you slide the card in, but now I see how easy it was to create the card. Thank you for sharing this information with the community of crafter. Look forward to seeing more.

[@CreativeHousewives]

I'm glad you found it helpful. I'll make sure to include getting the letters off the mat in the future :)

[@bordonaro40]

[@CreativeHousewives]

I'm so happy to hear this :)

[@jeangrandy8672]

I get very confused on what sizes the cards are ! Like R10, R20, R30, R40!! Do you know where I can find this information because it doesn’t say the actual size of the card in Design Space, thank you so much!! I’m a newbie!😊

[@katherinejones5565]

I found this on the web. Maybe it will help. Cricut Card Sizes R10 3.5 x 4.9 inches (all machines) R20 4.25 x5.5 inches (all machines) R30 4.5 x 6.25 inches (all machines) R40 4.75 x 6.6 inches (Maker/Explore machines only) S40 4.75 x 4.75 inches (Maker/Explore machines only)

Thank you, I make insert cards often but never thought of writing or how to do it. Now I know and will be adding text to my cards.

[@janetsmith5349]

First, your video was one of the best I have watched and made me excited to give cards a try. I wonder though how do you know what size insert card will fit in a card. I did the R40 birthday cake card, but the insert cuts were much more centered and there is no way the R40 inserts would fit. How would I know this ahead of time, and how would I then make an insert card that would fit?

[@CreativeHousewives]

My best recommendation is to open another card and see the sizing that they used. I am not sure that there is an easy way other than laying it out on the card itself when you have it the right size.

[@kathybrown5046]

Good video! Easy to follow and understand. :) Many videos go too fast--yours was the right pace! Thank you!

[@CreativeHousewives]

I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@shawnfirek4818]

Great tutorial. I have a cricut joy xtra, how do I size down when it says a specific size? Say, the card I like says R40, How can I get it to size S20?

[@CreativeHousewives]

When you go to open the card you should have the option to pick the card size you're using within Design Space.

[@leoniepreece1784]

Hi thank you for showing me . I have had my Cricut for a while

[@CreativeHousewives]

You’re welcome 😊

[@DeniseHills-m8e]

I definetly learned something new today Thank you.

[@CreativeHousewives]

I love hearing this :)

[@kenjamieson2135]

Hello what was the thickness and name of the insert card please kind regards Linda

[@CreativeHousewives]

This is the Cricut brand insert card.

[@AnnapolisGirly]

Wow, I learned so much from this, thank you!

[@CreativeHousewives]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@louneata3]

Thank you for the info.

[@CreativeHousewives]

You're very welcome!

[@leahsheffield3349]

Why is it that the text box doesn't always respond to clicking straight away. What I mean is that if you want to edit it, like change the font, move it on the canvas etc I have to click the text box multiple times before the little squares come up in the corners to allow it to be moved or edited.

[@CreativeHousewives]

I'm not sure, sometimes Design Space is just temperamental!

[@koalafan1576]

@3:41 so even the blocky fonts can be written or will the pen still only draw the cut line. I have used some I thought would be fine and it drew the cut line or outside of the letters.

[@CreativeHousewives]

Block fonts will outline. In order to not the get outline you need a font that is a single line font or a writing font. With the other fonts the pen follows the same path the blade would follow.

[@deenahulen3168]

This was very helpful. Thank you so much!

[@CreativeHousewives]

[@MarieMe199]

Just made my very first card (Cut and draw) AND writing on the inside with the help of your video❤ I'm an absolute Cricut beginner (cricut joy xtra) but your explanation is so precise - I got it right the first time - so satisfying😊 thank you so much

[@CreativeHousewives]

I love hearing this! Thank you so much for being here :)

[@triciahoefer3461]

This was very helpful. I am an amateur photographer wanting to use my pre-made photo insert cards and print inspirational sayings inside the cards - this looks like to best way to do it. They are 5 x 7 standard but do come in 5 x 5 square too. Do you think it is possible to use pre-made cards with your lesson?

[@CreativeHousewives]

Yes for sure! Just make sure you have the size set right on the canvas.

[@bernadettelewis6754]

Can you use any cardstock to make a card and im confuse about sizes im new at this it is very helpful thankyou just needs to go over sizes im not sure on do I cut them th the size

[@CreativeHousewives]

The sizes are what Cricut has named them. The R stands for rectangle and the S for square and they are different sizes that correspond with the card mat :)

[@berniceamadeo4223]

I bought the Cricut cutaway cards R-10, and they have an adhesive sheet inside. Is that to keep the insert in securely?

[@CreativeHousewives]

Sounds like you bought cutaway cards. You can learn how to make those here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6TMmppvbd2DmtEsi=oiR8Bk9nra4vVZm3

[@tickledcobweb8764]

Can you make 4cards at once, there are 4spaces on the mat?

Can you do this with the explore 3?

[@CreativeHousewives]

[@crissilvamineirinha]

Por favor ! Nao consegui entender o processo ,eu faco o texto e corto.o texto tenho que unir ao corte? Essa parte nao compreendi.

[@CreativeHousewives]

Yes you need to attach the writing layer (text) to the cut layer for it to stay in place :)

[@crissilvamineirinha]

Thanks!!!!​@@CreativeHousewives

[@jennareeves3659]

What about doing small cards that you open horizontally?

[@CreativeHousewives]

You can cut any type of folded card on this mat. You can change the orientation of your design if needed in Design Space :)
