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: czcams.com/video/jbK17Sr2VMs/video.html 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! 💕
Thank you! I found this video and another of yours, and they were both so helpful! I love your easy to follow explanations and candid personality. I've never used my Cricut for anything other than labels, and now I am trying to make save the dates for my wedding! The first videos were so helpful, so I'm excited to see what the new series has to show me!
Kim, you are the best teacher out there. Believe me, I've watched 100s of others. Keep up the great work!
Oh, thank you! You are too kind and I so appreciate the sweet words. So glad this video helped! 🩷Have you seen my new card making series? We're on Episode 6: czcams.com/play/PLYJAbsWmbUWZPbhDp-RMRDaRVfZScaYct.html
I learned so much! People skip basic steps because they assume we know that but being brand new, I know nothing! I don't even know to ask what I don't know! Thanks for being very clear and concise.
So glad it was helpful Angela!! 💕 Happy card making! 😊
Great video. You have a great voice as well. Thank you so much.
Awe! Thanks! So glad you liked the video! Happy crafting and card making! 💕

What to say THANK YOU very much for your video. You are they only one I have seen that did a WHOLE card. IN and OUT. alot of people show how to complete a front, then I'm ki d's lost for doing the inside. I don't have a joy, I have a maker, wanted an easier way for doing cards,so I got the card mat to use with my maker. NOW I can do inside, and have me alot of ideas HOW TO . Glad I didn't make the cards I was going to lastnite. lol THANK YOU AGAIN! Happy Crafting, be safe.
Oh that's great Laurie! So glad the video was helpful and that now you can write on the inside. 💕 I personally LOVE the drawing feature too. Plus, now my lines are straight! 😀I always start out straight when I'm freehand and I end up slanted!! Happy crafting!!

I've learned more from you than anyone else on CZcams!
Oh my goodness Mary Jane! You just made my day. Thank you so much for the sweet note.
I absolutely love watching your videos! You cover all info for that subject, not going on about whatever. I have turned off so many videos about 3 seconds in because they waste so much time! You are ready to go from the start, not fussing about, chatting about your day, or whatever. You are informed, and demonstrate what the video subject is thoroughly, and precisely. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the sweet note Sandra! I try to keep them fun and to the point. I'm so glad you like them! 💕
Your videos are the most helpful I've found for Cricut newbies. :). Thanks!

So glad you like the video and I LOVE pens too. Especially the markers and glitter pens. 💕Thanks for watching and happy crafting!!
Thank you so much. Your simple step by step instructions are the best. I have watched so many videos since Christmas "for beginners" which assume I have some knowledge of what I'm suppose to be doing. I'm an absolute beginner now ready for a project. Thank you.

This note makes me soooo happy Marianne! I want to help others to have fun with their machines and it thrills me that this video helped you! 💕 Happy crafting and blessings!
Thank you for giving me the confidence to do this as I’m a new Cricut joy owner as well as the explore 2 and design space in my opinion can be overwhelming but you broke it down to where I actually understand it very clearly!!!
This makes me so happy Michelle! I'm so glad you felt more confident after watching! I have a ton of Cricut Joy videos making all kinds of things so I hope you'll join me for more videos when you're ready! czcams.com/play/PLYJAbsWmbUWYQvlfCj2d203lfVxeSlVbv.html 💕😊

I love the step by step -
Thanks so much for watching Veronica! 💕
Hello dear
Just came across ur video enjoyed watching and the same I was reading everything u said very plz with presentation clearly spoken, good girl 😂 keep up the good work 👍
Thank you kindly
So glad it was helpful Nilda! Happy crafting and thanks for watching! 😊💕
Your video helped me out really well. I have been trying to find something to help me out with learning how to write something that I wanted on the Cricut Joy machine. I just purchased the Joy around summer time.
I'm not too tech savvy so it takes me a while to figure out how to use it & I do look at other video's but this is the first one I understood a bit better!
So I subscribed to your CZcams videos!
Hi Blanca! Congrats on getting the Cricut Joy and so glad my video helped you! I have several more Cricut Joy card making videos, as well as other Cricut Joy tutorials. I hope you'll check them out. czcams.com/play/PLYJAbsWmbUWYQvlfCj2d203lfVxeSlVbv.html Thanks so much for watching and happy crafting!! 💕
Thanks, super helpful!!
So glad you like the video! THanks for watching! 💕
Thank you, Kim!
Thanks so much for watching Lora! 💕
Learned something new from you this morning. Thanks for that. I’m going to try your trick for centering on the card, setting the width at 4.10 instead of 4.25 (see 3:40 min.on the timer). I’ve subscribed because, as simple as this machine is, you brought fresh ideas.
Thanks so much Jean! I'm so glad you're here and that I was able to share something new with you. :)
Thanks for the great video. Wish I had found you before I went and bought other instruction guides.
Hi Bernice! Oh me too! So glad the video was helpful! 💕 Thank you for watching and I have other Cricut Joy card making videos if you're interested: czcams.com/play/PLYJAbsWmbUWYQvlfCj2d203lfVxeSlVbv.html Happy crafting!! 😊
I’m very excited to get my circuit joy this Friday & make beautiful cards 😄
Hey Ariqa! You're going to LOVE it. So much fun with such a little machine. 💕
Thank you Kim Byers
Just found your channel. Your instructions are very easy to follow and concise. New subscriber.
Thanks so much Megen! Thrilled to have you here! 💕😊
Amazing ty
So glad you like the video Laura! Happy crafting! 💕
God Bless you Darlin...I spent most of the day yesterday trying to write inside the card following a different video and only got frustrated. They left out like at least 20 steps. I am a newbie to Cricut. I bought a Cricut Joy about 2 months ago and have been trying to figure it out since then. So I really appreciate your very clear and concise instructions. I think some that make videos assume that everyone already knows how to use the machine. I am so thrilled with this and will be trying later. Thanks so very much. I subscribed to you.
THANK YOU so much for the sweet note! I'm so glad the video was helpful and you found it clear! 💕💕💕 Happy Cricut card making! And I'm so glad you subscribed. I have so many videos planned. 😍And if you've not seen it yet, I have a entire playlist of Cricut Joy crafts and tips czcams.com/play/PLYJAbsWmbUWYQvlfCj2d203lfVxeSlVbv.html

Thanks!
great video thank you for sharing the knowledge
Thanks so much for watching! 💕
Thank you for such a great tutorial! It was very easy to understand. I am a brand new Cricut Joy owner so this was very helpful.
So glad to hear the vide was helpful Lisa! Here's a link to my other Cricut Joy videos: czcams.com/play/PLYJAbsWmbUWYQvlfCj2d203lfVxeSlVbv.html I have videos on how to create your own card designs, how to write on envelopes, how to make your own card kits and more! Thanks so much for watching and happy crafting! 💕
@@KimByers Thank you for the link!
Hi Kim...I've been a card maker for over 10 years (Stampin Up Demonstrator as well) and I bought the Cricut Joy. It's challenging to make laser like cut cards after having used 3D like embellishments and a variety of stamps and other mixed media techniques. So I appreciate all that I am learning through your channel. I have been impressed with the way you conduct your tutorials. Right to the point.
You're so sweet and you've made my day! Thank you! I'm so glad you like the tutorials and I hope you'll share what you create with me! I have more card videos coming. :)
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Please do demonstrate halloween cards.. You are so easy, and concise to follow. Great !
Thanks so much Pattie! So glad you like the videos! 💕
Hi Kim, Thank you so much for show us on how to write on the inside of a card; my hand writing isn't that great either & your so bubbly. 🙃
Hey Penny! So glad the video helped and thanks for the sweet note. 💕 Happy card making and Happy New Year!
@@KimByers Same to you as well!😊
Hi Kim! What an awesome video! Your step by step instructions are amazing! Where did you find the paper that you used for the insert? Both sides are BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for sharing!
So glad you love the video! 🩷 I've had that paper for a bit, but I believe it came from a paper company called Me & My Big Ideas (purchased from JOANN Fabric and Craft Stores and on youtube at @joannstores ) I hope that helps and thank you so much for crafting with me!
Thank you so much for clarifying that there are writing fonts that are not outlined when printed. I have been looking for ways to fill in letters and now I know that I don't have to do that to have beautiful letters.
Hey Elizabeth! You're so welcome! When I first started working with pens it used to frustrate me me too until I figured it out. 😊Happy crafting and Merry Christmas! 💕🎄
I loved this video. I finally understand how to do the insert. I spent hours trying to figure out how to begin with Cricket Joy and was really frustrated. I wish I'd started with your videos! I'm a subscriber now. Clear and detailed steps. Thank you.
So glad Judith!! Happy crafting and thanks for watching! 💕
Unfortunately my options are basic cut and under draw only “pen” with Joy. I selected writing for font. But I get an error message saying “pen not compatible.” Using pen sent with the Joy machine just purchased.
I used a drawing from the Cricut offerings but no drawing works. Stuck. Is there a Cricut community for support that I can ask these kinds of questions? I’m very frustrated. Ty
Judith! Sorry for not responding. I don't ever get notifications for the follow-ups. I was literally just browsing through and saw your note. Eeek! You've probably already figured all this out, but most likely what is happening is that in the pen choices you have one of the Explore or Maker pens chosen. Make sure you choose the Joy pen. There are tons to pick from.

Lovely to have you here!!
Love this thank you. Did you have to move all the letters/words inside the card closer together for writing purposes.
Hey Laura! So glad you liked the video! 💕 And yes, I did move the letters closer. Most fonts need a little tweaking when you're using the pens. Happy crafting!
Love your tutorials. Can you make cards on the Cricut Joy without the insert cutouts?
Hi Dee! So glad you like the video! 😍 Are you asking if you can make your own insert card kits? If so, yes! Here's a quick video: czcams.com/video/UFFIToNjFl8/video.html I have several more videos about making cards with the Cricut Joy. Here's the playlist: czcams.com/play/PLYJAbsWmbUWYQvlfCj2d203lfVxeSlVbv.html Thanks for watching and I hope you'll subscribe! 💕
I love this video. But I had to find something for my specific machine
Hey Wanda! Thanks for watching. Do you own a Maker or Explore?
This info was above my head. I just ordered the Joy and I am researching card making specifically. I need more elementary info
Hey Joy! Here's a beginner video for making cards on the Joy. czcams.com/video/GWLgd1e4oFk/video.html Once you get your machine let me know if I can help and happy crafting! 💕
I'm touched, thank you for your kindness
Thank you for the video. Any suggestions on how to make the card mat sticky again? I have only created about 3 cards with it.
Hi Lisa! Only three cards? Eeek! I switched mine recently but I had made about 25 cards on it. It wasn't super sticky after about 10, but good enough to hold. I'm not really sure how to bring them back to life. I use tape on the larger mats at the corner of the material, but that doesn't work well on cards since there is no corner to cut off if the tape messes the paper up. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you find a good solution! 💕
Great video. Thanks for showing how to write the sentiment! How do make the insert tabs even, please? Even with the card put at the very top edge of the card mat, many times my top slits are closer to the edge than the bottom slits. (Sometimes dangerously so). Thank you!
So glad you like the video Debra and thank you for subscribing! 💕 As for the cuts, I hear you! That happens to me sometimes. I find when I place it on the mat perfectly at the top I fair a lot better, but I think it has something to do with the fold/crease. Those cuts are so precise and when the cardstock is even a 1/8 of an inch off it gets dangerously close to the edge. Wish I had a fix for you!!
Hello kim, I'm new to cricut joy still learning what I can do on the cricut joy. I order engraving tip tool for cricut joy when I seen it on Amazon. I been trying to find out how to use it. Have you tryed it yet?
Hey T Daniel! As far as I know, the Cricut Maker is the only machine that can use the engraving tip unless it's something brand new. You could call Cricut tech support. They're great. Thanks so much for watching and happy crafting!
Hi , thank you so much for your video. When you buy a picture, do you get to use it over and over again?
Hey Carolyn! Do you mean a cut file/SVG? Yes! You can use it over and over. Thanks so much for watching and happy card making! 💕
Love this, can you delete the corner slots on the cards?
Hey Elaine! If you're on the Joy app it might not take you in to the canvas to do that. But if you're on desktop and you start with it as an image, you can delete/hide things in the layers panel. Happy card making!! 💕
You are an awesome teacher. I just got my Joy 2 days ago and I am already having so much fun. So do you have a trick for keeping the little bits down on the cut part so they do not get accidentally damaged when people hold it? I did a Feliz Navidad card but the parts of the cut out that are floppy do not lay down properly and I almost lost a few of them. I used glue of course but I was wondering if there was a particular glue that might not penetrate to the other side. Thanks again. Love and Peace, Catherine
Hey Catherine! I use a fine "pen glue gun" sometimes. It's made by Xyron. I didn't see it on Amazon, but this one made by Westcott is similar: amzn.to/3pnbjoO The key is not to put too much on so it doesn't bubble. Thanks so much for watching and Merry Christmas! I'm glad you're loving your new Joy!
Thanks for the video, you make it look so easy. Just a quick question, can you change the spelling on the premade cards such as from Mom to Mum?
Hey Wendy! So glad you like the video. 😊As for the predesigned cards, it would be very difficult. You could use the contour tool to erase a word, but you wouldn't have the same font to replace it. A few of the designs they provided both Mum and Mom, but not all of them. Happy crafting! 💕
This is exactly the tutorial I needed. But I must ask - where did you find that gorgeous paper? I did not see a link in the craft supplies, and so many times the paper makes the difference. Thanks, Kim.
Hey Phyllis! So glad you liked the tutorial! As for the paper, I wish I knew exactly who it was from. I must have used it all because I can't find it for you. I want to say it was from Die Cuts With A View, but I'm just not sure. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you find some pretty papers! 💕😊
Love the video. Are you able to do the same video for the maker if possible
Hi Jodes! Cards on the Maker are a bit different. I wish they would make a Maker and Explore Card Mat, but no such thing yet. Are you making cards on your Maker already and just want to know how to write and draw in them? Or are you looking for a video that starts from scratch? Thanks so much for watching and I'll put your idea on my list! 💕
@@KimByers I’ve have been making the cards on the maker. But I’ve also got the card mat for the joy with heaps of cards, inserts and envelopes that fit the card mat for the joy. I really don’t want to purchase the joy as I love the maker. I’m a beginner
Would really like to have the machine print the lettering in the same depth/thickness as it would be if cut... Actually I would use it for drawing images with some depth instead of simple lines.
Hey Katie! I love the markers, size 1.0, for this. The fine point pens are .4 and the glitter pens are .8. You can see the markers in this Christmas card video. Thanks so much for watching and happy card making!! czcams.com/video/MEgTXuYBoLk/video.html 💕🎄
Great video. I have already cut the front of the card. Is it too late to write on the inside?
Hey Nancy! It's always best to write first and cut second so you don't risk the card design. Although, you can give it a try if you have enough card stock to make it again. I hope it turned out! Thanks so much for watching!! 😊💕
Thank you for pointing that out, I thought I still had to pay for some cards even though I pay for cricut access.
Thanks so much for watching Lulu! Happy card making!! 💕😊
Just watched the video on cards. Where do purchase the designed inserts that you cut and use in your cards? I didn’t see that you posted that particular link
Hi Nancy! Do you mean the flowery pattern paper? I just go to the craft store and walk the paper isle for patterns that I think are pretty. 😊 Cricut has precut inserts, but they're mostly solids and I love a good pattern. 💕 Thanks for watching!
Hello Kim. I truly enjoy your channe! I was so excited about creating my messages inside my cards and I'm doing a wonderful job at it thanks to you. I've advanced to adding a border around my messages/greetings. But I noticed the colorful boarder loses all its colors after I attach everything. This is truly disappointing because it loses the pretty look I'm trying to create. Is there anything I can do to keep the colorful boarders from turning black?
The border I was trying to use had 7 different colorful circles. Thank you!😊
Hey Sharon! So glad you're loving the channel. Thank you for watching! As for the card, make sure that your circles are pens and not cuts. If pens, you should be able to make all the colors you want. The attach tool can do that depending on what you're making and what you're attaching because when you "attach" it's telling all those cuts to go to one mat and the mat can only be one color. Let me know and I'll try to help you figure it out. 😊
@@KimByers Hi Kim. I'm going to try to use the boarder (Confetti) again tomorrow with a coworker and I will let you know how it turned out.
Thank you very much!
Hi Kim, I did the writing and then added a flower to the middle between the writing and then grouped it all together. But when I went to print it/draw it it was all out of sequence and I had to rearrange it on that page. When I went back to try and regroup everything I could not get the flower "grouped" in. I am VERY new (like 2 days) to this and I'm sure I didn't do something right. Any suggestions or another video I should watch? Thank you so much.
Hi Dana! When you say "grouped" do you mean you "attached?" Without seeing it I'm not sure what happened. That said, I have a quick video for the Attach and Weld tools. I actually have a series teaching you about Design Space in general. They are all quick and they will keep you from getting frustrated when you're trying to create! 😊czcams.com/play/PLYJAbsWmbUWat-ZVX_gVMwIQlUo4VNVef.html. I'd love for you to subscribe. I have so much fun planned for the upcoming holidays!
This was very awesome…can we import an image?
Hey Thadora! Yes! You can import an image and make it into a card. I have two videos for you. This is how to import and image and when to use SVG or PNG: czcams.com/video/4xZuxTc6MfQ/video.html And this video shows you how to make a card from scratch: czcams.com/video/AZDW_ZqA7SU/video.html I hope they help and thanks for watching! 💕
Thanks for this video, I got my joy on Friday. I tried to do a card but my blade didn't cut totally. Do you need different blades with this machine.
Hi Carla! There is only one blade for the Joy. It could be that you need to choose a different type of cardstock in the dropdown of choices. The blade cuts at different depths depending on what type of paper you select. Thanks so much for watching and happy card making!! 💕
@@KimByers thank you, I made several more cards. It works perfectly now.
Can I ask where you get the 2 sided card stock? What brand/weight is it? Thank you
Oh Karen I wish I could remember. Others have asked. I want to say that I picked it up at JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores as a single sheet. It's a heavy weight, likely 100lb. Die Cuts With A View (DCWV) has some pretty things, but I'm not sure if that is what this was. I hope you find some lovely cardstock! Thanks so much for watching and happy card making! 💕
I loved this video. Just one question. You used the font from Design Space, don't you have to pay for that? Can you download some other fonts that are free and use them?
Hey John! You can choose to use fonts on your computer or fonts in Cricut Design Space (some are free, some are free with Cricut Access and some you pay for). When you're in the window (on a desktop) choosing your font, look into the upper right area of the box and you'll see choices.
Thanks so much for watching and happy crafting! 💕
Thank you sooo much for this helpful veido I just purchased a JOY & am a little confused about how to do a card with more then one line steatments.
Example.....
Hello dear friend
Hope to see you
Soon.
I just don't understand the concept on how to?
Hi Terri! Do you mean writing on the inside? If so, I would personally write each in its own box and then use "align" to center them all with each other. I hope you enjoy your Cricut JOY! By the way, here's my playlist for all my Cricut Joy videos: czcams.com/play/PLYJAbsWmbUWYQvlfCj2d203lfVxeSlVbv.html Happy crafting! 😍
@@KimByers 🌹THANK YOU AM STILL LEARNING ALOT BUT VIDEOS ARE VERY MUCH HELPFUL & AM LOVING THIS MACHINE. ( thanks for the link)
Thanks for the helpful video. Can you please tell me the name of your first font.
Hi Deanna! I used the "BE MINE" font in the card that we actually wrote and "BABETTE" in the example that we created together. Thanks so much for watching! :)
Thankyou so much for your tutorial. Quick question, How do i get the canvas measurements to look like yours on screen. Mine Are so tiny and cant see my creation :( Help
Hey Tanz! There is a percent bar in the lower left corner. You can increase your view size as much as you like! Thanks so much for watching and happy crafting! 💕
@@KimByers thanks a million
can the cards in the kit for the maker fit the joy and visa versa?
Hey Vicki! The smaller kits work for both, but the Maker and the Explore can also cut an R40 card size, 4.75x6.6. Happy card making!! 💕
@@KimByers ok thanks im new to the machine.but the smaller ones labled for the joy can they fit in the maker mat?
If you buy a design, do you get to keep it like you do for an embroidery design?
Hey Mathalee! Yes, if you purchase the design in Cricut Design Space it's yours to keep! 💕
Can you make this on the Maker?
Hey Bonnie! You can make cards like these on the Maker, but it's a little more complex than on the Cricut Joy. I do have a video showing you how to make a Joy card on the Maker, but honestly I'm hoping some day they will come out with a Maker / Explore Card Mat. 😊 Here's the video: czcams.com/video/NHDmau0-K44/video.html Happy crafting and thanks for watching! 💕
I have a question. I am very new at this Cricut experience and somewhat intimidated. I was following along on your video with a different card selection. I ran into a problem. The insert was too large for the card I cut. I paid for the card already. How do I make sure it all fits before paying?
Good morning! So the insert, that came with card in Cricut Design Space, didn't fit? That is odd. It sound s like a design issue and something Cricut needs to address in the system. Do you have a paper trimmer? They're about $12 and honestly I use mine ALL THE TIME. It's so great and will take an issue like this and fix it up in seconds. I know you want the card you purchased to be perfect, and I'm sorry it's not, but this little tool in your craft space is great to make your own inserts too! Here's my video on how to make your own Joy card kits: czcams.com/video/UFFIToNjFl8/video.html And my video to make your own card designs in Cricut Design Space: czcams.com/video/AZDW_ZqA7SU/video.html With these two methods you might not have to buy card designs. You can make your own. 😊 Thanks for watching and happy card making!! 💕
How do you write,draw and cut on the same image? Do you have any videos for that?
Hey April! This video show you how to write, draw and cut on the same card. 💕 Did I misunderstand your question?
Cut and draw on a layered image?
Can u do cards on a maker
Yes Natasha! I have a video showing you how to make beautiful cards on your cricket maker with the 2 x 2 card mat. And a way to do it without a card mat. You can find both videos in my video library. Thanks so much for watching!
Where did you get the Be Mine font?
Hey Ally! It is a Cricut Access writing font. When you search for it, turn off "Kerning." If it's selected the font won't show up. Thanks so much for watching and happy card making!! 💕
Can this work on the maker?
Hey Veronica! Yes and no. I have a video coming out this Thursday, August 18, 2022 that will tell you all the things on how to make these cards with the new Explore and Maker card mat. I'd love for you to subscribe. OR, you can watch my video on how to make Cricut Joy cards on your Maker and Explore without a card mat! 😊 czcams.com/video/N_kXzPW31Ek/video.html Thanks so much for watching and happy card making! 💕
Can you tell me why your design space looks different than mine. ? When you select a text or shape your edges are red and blue and mine are just white squares?
Hey Isabel! This video is a few years old. It might just be an update by Cricut. Thanks for watching and happy card making!!
Is there a way to CHANGE the front of a card? There is one I REALLY want to make but it says congrats on itvand I don't want on the card
Hey Lavinia! You can use the Contour Tool (quick tutorial: czcams.com/video/vP5EaZoM96c/video.html) to remove elements you don't want to cut/draw. Thanks so much for watching! 💕
