Cutting the Cut Out Picture Back To School Card
Cut the card base and the Cricut will do the writing. I used a yellow gel pen for the front and a red gel pen for the inside. Did you know that you can use any pen in your Cricut? You can see the trick here. I used a font called Cool Baby, which takes forever to draw but I love the detail!. You can download it free at Creative Fabrica if you are a member.
The embellishments and the card front are thin in places. so be careful taking them off the mat.
