Hi! Cricut newbie here (as of this past Christmas) from Western Pennsylvania. This video was so helpful. I really appreciate your clear and to-the-point instructions.... You didn't go too fast and you didn't go off topic. I've been doing a lot with HTV (making T-shirts) and permanent vinyl (making signs and a few tumblers, etc.) but now I want to get into making cards. My Grandma is 95 and she LOVES getting cards in the mail. When she sees that I'm sending her customized and personal cards she is going to be amazed! 🙂 So, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I look forward to watching more of your videos... You definitely have a new subscriber!
Thank you for your explanations. The best part is the arrow you used to show us where you were clicking. So many times, I am searching to see where their mouse is. This video was A+++! Thank you!!!
I just got my Cricut and I am testing out different things I can make. I really want to make cards for friends and this has been the MOST helpful video! I have watched others but this was so clear and direct. Thank you thank you thank you!
There are so many useful tricks in this video. Changing the background colour! Who knew! Using align to centre your scoring line as well. Simple hacks that will make like so much easier. Thank you!
I cannot thank you enough for making a step by step I can follow along video. I wanted to make cards for all my daycare kiddos I miss during this virus quarentine to let them know I missed them. I had no idea how on my cricut. You made it SO EASY!! TYTYTY
Thank you for this...I have been trying to figure this out on my own and just could not. It was refreshing to see a video that is so concise and to the point. Sometimes you have to watch 15 minutes of someone telling you their life's history before they actually show you how to do something !!!
Thank you! You explained this so clearly and without taking an hour to watch. I learned more from you on making a card from beginning to end, than anything that I've watched thus far. Thank you again!
Thank you Karley, I have always had trouble resizing my envelopes. You made it so much clearer than any of the other tutorials I’ve ever watched. Cynthia
Karley,I just happened to run into this video. I was so excited as I have been wanting to make the envelopes but had no idea how to find the template in design space. Followed your instruction and was so excited. It's so easy and fun. Turned out great. Thankyou!!
I have watched so many tutorials since I got my Cricut a couple months ago and none of them have taught me as much as this one! All those little details about Design Space, I had NO idea you could do all those things!! Thank you so so much for this.
Jamie - you are Sooooooooooooooooooo right....I have been looking and searching but all I kept finding were videos for the 4.5 x5.5 type A2 card size. I was getting so frustrated, I expected a whole lot more videos....but...this one.....yes..!! This one is daBomb.com...ha ha .... I have learned so many tips n tricks from this video.....!! I'm glad she put this one out there...!!
Karley- thank you so much! I find myself near tears wanting to learn how to do certain things on my Cricut. It was a gift this past Christmas- and only now, during this pandemic, have I found time to try and learn a few things. I'm extremely grateful for this video! Your speed of instruction and simple directions make this super easy! Really appreciate you! Stay safe and happy Spring! Vee from Cincinnati
Thanks for showing this simple way to make a card. All the videos I’ve watched have been overly complicated for me to just make a thank you card. Short, sweet and so informative! 🤗
Thank you Karley for a good clear tutorial. I’m still a novice to Cricut & it does get difficult even though I’ve had a couple of lessons. . I found your tutorial clear, easy to understand & explained well. Thank you 😊
Thank you! Thank you! for showing how to do a 5x7 card. I have been searching for a while with failed attempts every time. Your pace is amazing and I will be back for my envelope tutorial!!
Karly THANK YOU! I am so excited to have the Cricut Joy and Maker. They do so much and it is allot to learn. I found your video and so grateful it was easy to follow along and actually learn how to do make the card without felling overwhelmed and not wanting to attempt it. I am excited to subscribe and watch your other videos.
Thank you so much for this video. Before watching it I had absolutely no clue as to where to begin on making a card from scratch. You have no idea how your video has helped me ❤️
Thank you thank you thank you. I've been asked to make my friends daughters wedding invitations and I've been struggling with the text and sizing. And you have explained everything I've been failing on because I didnt know how to do it. But know I do and I can't wait to get started making some beautiful stunning invitations. Hopefully I succeed lol. Thanks again. I've subscribed and liked this tutorial. Cant wait to watch your other ones. Xx
Hi Karley! I just found your tutorials and I have to say you do a great job of explaining how to design in Cricut Design space. I just got my Cricut and I am overwhelmed with Design space but your instructions are so clear and complete! Thank you ! Thank you! I did subscribe😊
That video was awesome! Many videos say "then just click over here...." and it is hard to follow where to click. So frustrating! You made it very clear where you were clicking and explained it so well. Thank you so much! I really loved it. New subscriber as of right now :)
Hi Karley. Wow this video was SO SO helpful!! I never knew how to size our envelopes. Lots of great tips. Thank you so much for sharing! You always explain tells so well. ❤️ ✉️
I am waiting on my cricut Maker to be delivered . It’s gonna be a couple of weeks so I have been watching so many videos. Thank you for this video . Have a wonderful day
Hi Karley, I'm Super new to cricut, just purchased a maker and I am lost - Wanted to make my son a Fathers Day card and that was an Epic FAIL! Because of your tutorial I know what I did wrong and will make a card on the next family Birthday!! Thank you so much!
This was sooooo helpful. This is what I want to do with my machine but I couldn’t get through the other tutorials I found. You make it seem so easy. Thanks!
I have been looking for this video for MONTHS... YAY I finally found it. Exactly what I needed to know!!!! OMGOSH Thank you!!! You made my day! I now have another hobby to ENJOY during this at home time called "Shelter in Place" Stay Safe!
The video was very helpful, it took me a while as I’m very new to crafting & first time Cricut user, but I would have loved to see a follow through on the entire project, to see the outcome of the card. Thank you ☺️
Hey Karley - thanks you so so so much for this one....it was clear, concise and to the point. There are not many tutorials that show how to make the full size cards, especially with the advent of the Cricut Joy....This was AWESOME....!! If you have a moment, throw some more up there where you do your own embellishments....would love to see what you are doing for Christmas cards. Thanks again for sharing..... :).
Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to make a card with my newly purchased Cricut. You made it so easy to understand. Now I feel confident that I can do this.
OMG This has been the best tutorial to do cards!!!! I've been trying to do one and haven't been able!! This is what I was looking for. Thank you soooooo much!!!! You went slow and very precise on everything which I needed since Im just starting out on the craft world overall!! My cricut maker and easy press 2 and mini are just sitting there, now I can do a card!! yayyyyy!!
Thank you! I made a card as one of my first projects. I don't have a scoring tool, so I removed those lines. Then I thought I was being creative and added a cut out to the envelope flap. Unfortunately, I didn't think about where it folds! I didn't know how to resize the envelope to fit. You showed the basics without getting into complicated stuff which we can add as we build skills. Until we understand the basics though, there's no point learning how to do all the "wow" stuff. I subscribed! :)
I shouldn't have tried a complicated cut card as my very first, but it is my 49th Anniversary, and I wanted it to be special. Thank you so very much for answering all my questions. I do wish I knew why my Cricut Maker went off-line after every "Make It".
Can I just say this was fantastic, super easy to follow, really informative and useful ... I would love to see how to do a cutout design and the four corner cuts so U can put colour stock behind that IV seen .. thanx again
Yay! I’m so glad you found it helpful! I think this tutorial is what you are looking for: How to Make Cards with ANY Cricut Machine (Joy, Explore, Maker) ua-cam.com/video/8hIwsPzO7YQ/v-deo.html
Great tutorial. Sometimes those giving the tutorials forget the basics but you have clearly covered all of the bases for us. Thank you!
I would love to see this as it is being cut, scored and printed.
So would I. I would also like to know the materials and supplies needed to make a card.
I’m new to Cricut. Thank you for slowly explaining how to make a simple card. Many of the others talk too fast.
I love how you show the before and after on the mats. Thank you for making and posting this video.

By far the easiest and best custom card description. I have been struggling as a new user, but now - thanks to you - I am all set to go!
I've been searching all over UA-cam for exactly what you shared in this video. Thank you for making it to the point and simple to understand/follow! 💕
Thank you! You explained this so clearly and without taking an hour to watch. I learned more from you on making a card from beginning to end, than anything that I've watched thus far. Thank you again!
Hands down the best Cricut video I’ve watched and I’ve watched ALOT! Thank you.

And where to put the pen
Not only did I learn how to make a card but I learned about some things in cricut design space I never knew! Thank you!
Do you have directions for making your own "insert Cards"? or a template
Thanks for showing this simple way to make a card. All the videos I’ve watched have been overly complicated for me to just make a thank you card. Short, sweet and so informative! 🤗
Thank you Karley for a good clear tutorial. I’m still a novice to Cricut & it does get difficult even though I’ve had a couple of lessons. . I found your tutorial clear, easy to understand & explained well. Thank you 😊
You are a lifesaver!! I have been attempting to make a card (without the envelope) for three weeks now! THANK YOU!!

Karley thank you! I have searched everywhere for a video that could help me make a card! This was it! You explain things great!

How do you make it double sided?? Like printed on front and back?
Do you want to actually "print" from a home printer or do you want to have the cricut "draw/write" on both sides?
Excellent! Very helpful! I like your clear, direct instructions. Thanks!
The video was very helpful, it took me a while as I’m very new to crafting & first time Cricut user, but I would have loved to see a follow through on the entire project, to see the outcome of the card. Thank you ☺️
Wow, you make that so easy for a beginner to follow. thank you
Great video, answered all the questions I’ve had about how to make your own card designs, such as scoring and sizing.
Hey Karley - thanks you so so so much for this one....it was clear, concise and to the point.

Only got the Cricut today, even the Cricut tutorials do not explain it as well as you. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to make a card with my newly purchased Cricut. You made it so easy to understand. Now I feel confident that I can do this.
Thanks so much. This is just the information I've been looking for. Easy to follow and understand.

I'M GETTING A NEW AIR 2 SOME TIME THIS WEEK FOR CHRISTMAS NEVER WORKED WITH IT BEFORE THK U
I shouldn't have tried a complicated cut card as my very first, but it is my 49th Anniversary, and I wanted it to be special. Thank you so very much for answering all my questions. I do wish I knew why my Cricut Maker went off-line after every "Make It".
how do you change the scoring stylus to the pen? does the cricut tell you when to change it?
Yes
Wow, what a great a great video, you took about 9,000 youtube video and explained everything clearly in under 9 minutes. High five!!
This is a great tutorial. Very easy to follow. I just wish it would have went through to the final steps of cutting, scoring and writing.
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!
You are so clear and so helpful, thanks
Thanks, this was very helpful. I was wondering how to make my own envelopes. This video told me how.
Very helpful for a newbie like myself! Thanks!
Thank you 😊 for your complete explanation
Can you make this without a scoring wheel ?
Yes! You don’t even need to score it!
Thank you. I'm still working out a few glitches, but your tutorial was thorough, helpful and not too long :)
Excellent video, simple to follow, would be great if you could share it being cut, scored and printed. As a beginner would be very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks Karly. That is such a brilliant explanation.
Thank you!! This was extremely helpful and I really appreciate you explaining the reason behind the why ❤
Thank you for making this super easy to follow.
I learned a lot from you today! Thank you for being so precise! You are a great teacher!
Would have loved to see the end product! Great tutorial!
Hi! Thank you for this video. How do you add writing/drawn design to the card front AND to the inside of the card using the CRICUT markers? Thank you.
Brand new to cricut. would love to have seen you follow it up with the cutting, scoring and writing.
bethalti33 thanks for your feedback!
Exactly the kind of tutorial I was looking for, I made a wicked cute card for my grandma :D
This has been SOO helpful!! Thank you!!

Great tutorial I just have one question do I have to have a scoring wheel to do the scores in the middle of the card?
yes, but I don't have one and it worked fine, I used one of the scrapers to neatly fold the card
This video was SO helpful!!! Thank you!
