Hey friends! Leave a comment letting me know which card is your favorite. :)

I've used a Cricut for several years now and simply find it to be invaluable! It is so nice to see someone combine Cricut techniques with other card making techniques. Long past due!

[pipermowrey]

WONDERFUL combining Cricut Joy extra with card making ideas! Could you make more videos using the Cricut Joy extra with inks! That was so good to see how you used the loft over cup cake after the card was cut. You used it to make a whole new card! Bravo!!! More videos PLEASE!

[LeighLovesBeingCrafty]

I love all my cricut machines! Looking forward to more videos integrating the cricut with card making! I use mine for sentiments, addressing my envelopes, and loads more.

[lyndik]

So glad you are showing how to use these to make some cards easier. Especially those of us with awful handwriting. Keep up videos for this please. I would love to see your unique ways of using it.

[marlenenicholl]

I love how you went beyond just cutting your card with the Joy-Xtra - shows your creativity

[Reneesfun]

I started my card making process with Cricut and then moved onto stamping. So fun to see you do this! The possibilities are endless 🎉

[Diva]

I never thought about using the excess scraps for another card. Great idea!

[WhinnyL]

Great video. Thank you for showing how easy it can be to use the Cricut Joy along with traditional card making items like the hand made card and stamps. I have a ton of stamps, dies but also have Cricut Maker and original Joy. Keep these ideas coming. So much can be ceated with both styles of creating.

[T.Underwood-xlnz]

So far, the best card making video that I have seen. Love the duel use of what would normally have been scrapped. Love your presentation too. I will be watching more. Loved both cards, but I think the second one was my favourite because of the depth, dimension and colouring. I appreciate your colouring technique as well.

[peppermintoccassions]

You took that to another level. Simple wonderful, now I'll be using my Xtra for card making thank you Simon

[nancydonayre-pun]

Hi Simon! Usually I use my Cricut for vinyl and to cut letters or a sentiment, or intricate backgrounds and shapes for my cards, because for cards I prefer my inks and and die cuts, I really don't like to cut and just put a sheet of paper as a background for a card. You just show me that I can still use those cricut cards that I don't like in a different way. I like SVGs, I can even create my own very simple ones. but I also like die cutting, inks and stamps a lot. You are giving me inspiration to put both ways together, so Thank you very much! :)

[claralebsack]

I love how easy you explain how you do your cards. Very simple and looks fun. Using the stencil looks easy as well. Im excited to begin using my new things I got. Thanks for the inspiration.

[moniquevann]

Oh Simon this is wonderful that you are now using the Cricut your digital downloads will be perfect to cut out 👏🥂

[debbiemoore]

I use my Cricut maker for making multiple pieces for my cards. It’s a whole new world Simon! Have fun

[lori-jocarroll]

I love when crafts marry. I would put cut outs on my envelope to decorate it. This is such a great idea!!!

[yvonneking]

I have had a cricut joy for a year and never had it out of the box, seeing you use yours has made me want to have a go. Thank you, and please use it again 🎉

[LisaVornhagen]

That was great! You had a lot of great ideas for combining card making with the Cricut machine! That's really cool that the Xtra tells you to move the star wheels over and then back again. I wish all the machines that have them did that. I wish they would have come out with the Joy Xtra a couple years ago before I bought the Joy. I would have purchased it the Xtra instead. Now I also have a Maker, so I don't see the need for the Xtra too. I love the Joy for making cards, small projects and things I want to do quickly. Just today I used it to make some tag blanks after being inspired by a Cathy Z video.

[hilarysummerfield]

This is the first video I have watched from you, Simon. I LOVED it! Your ideas of all of different ways I can get creative with my card making are very inspirational. Thanks for making such a fun, clearly easy to understand video. I can't wait to view some of your other videos to see what else you are up to!

[kmatto_kmatto]

Very neat to see you use the Cricut Joy Xtra. While I don't have any Cricut machines, I do enjoy seeing crafters projects and how they like to use it. I also LOVE that you had a 2-4-1 by using the cupcake cutout pieces.
