One of the things I love most about owning a Cricut is that I'm never caught without a card. Birthday tomorrow? I've got a card. Friend needs cheering up? I've got a card. Someone bought a new house? Yep, I've got a card for that too. And thanks to the Cricut Card Mat and Insert Card system, most of these can be made in less time than it takes me to decide what to watch on Netflix. If you're looking for your next card-making project, here are 8 Cricut card ideas.

Confession time. For the longest time, I thought shaker cards were one of those projects. You know the kind.

What Is a Cricut Machine? If you're new to the world of crafting, you might be wondering: What exactly is a Cricut machine? A Cricut is a smart cutting machine that allows you to cut designs from materials like vinyl, cardstock, iron-on, fabric and more. It connects to your computer or tablet and works with Cricut Design Space, where you create or upload designs.

If you’ve recently bought a Cricut machine, one of the first things you’ll need to learn is how to use Cricut Design Space. Design Space is the software that allows you to create, customise, and send designs to your Cricut machine.
