7. Set up the insert card in the Cricut Card Mat by sliding the folds of the card in between the sleeve of the mat and making sure the front of the card is well stuck down to the mat. If you added text onto the inside of the card, it may ask you to do this first. If so, be mindful which way round you insert your card to ensure it is putting the correct details on each side of the card.
8. Following your on-screen instructions, you should be asked to insert your pen first into the Cricut Joy machine. Remove the blade from your Cricut Joy and insert the pen into the tool port, then close the clamp.
9. If you created inside text, remove the Card Mat from the machine once complete and flip the card over so that the front of the card is now on top of the Card Mat Sleeve with the back of the card behind the sleeve.
Next switch the pen with the blade, then click go on your device so that the machine can start cutting.
10. Once the machine has finished cutting remove the mat from the machine. Gently remove the card from the mat be gentle as you go and you may even want to use your spatula tool to help lift certain parts of the card. Add the insert card to all four corners of the card. All that’s left to do is to write a note inside the card and send it to a loved one!
