Cricut Joy Cards : How To Use the Pen & Card Mat

While I am not much of a card maker, I was really curious about the Cricut Joy cards and card mat.  So out of curiosity, I made a few cards and…Cricut Joy cards are so fun to create!  Not only are they really fast and easy to create, but they look really expensive and polished when they are finished.  The final card definitely resembles the type of card that you would pay $6 or more for in the store, but was created for much less.  With the premade designs in Cricut Design Space and the card mat, these cards take minutes to create and are so very pretty!  If you’re ready to make Cricut Joy cards, this tutorial is awesome and will show you how you can take a fun twist on the final look by using pattered paper instead of the insert cards!
