Cards and Envelopes using the Cricut

I just got three Cricut Cartridges for my birthday, Wild Card, Stamping Solutions and Storybook. They have quickly become my favorites! I have been excited to play around with them along with my new bird acrylic stamps.
I learned the hard way that it's important to cut the envelope fit to page first before cutting the card otherwise your card may end up being too big for the envelope.

Key #8 Oval for card and envelope(fit to page)
I repeated the cut for the card next size down
and cut on the fold for the inside of the card

  4. Beautiful cards! I'll have to take a look at my WC cartridge again as I grew frustrated with the whole envelope size thing. I also just learned you can delete those little fold cut things using the hide feature on Design Studio. Thanks for sharing!
