Cricut Explore and Cricut Maker owners rejoice — you asked, and we’re answering. Cricut introduces Cricut Card Mat 2 x 2 for Cricut Maker and Cricut Explore machines.
One of the most requested accessories, Cricut Card Mat 2 X 2, is here and now you can make pro-looking greeting cards in minutes. This new mat makes it fast and easy to create up to four cards at once using pre-scored Cricut Insert, Cutaway or Foil Transfer Cards.
Along with the new Cricut Card Mat 2 x 2, the launch of this accessory comes with all-new integrated features and card content in Design Space that make it possible to design and cut/draw customised cards in minutes. Like the card mat for Cricut Joy, Cricut Card Mat 2 x 2 uses a protective divider to cut a design on the front while keeping the back of the folded card intact.
Simply insert one side of the folded card under the plastic divider and press the card into the adhesive on the mat, like in the illustration above. Voila! You are now ready to cut your card. Use the rest of the mat to make up to four cards at once.
