In order to get started, once we added the new mat to our Cricut Maker 3 machine minus the adhesive, the next step was to load Cricut Design Space on our PC and start designing which is located in the “Cards” menu! You can also swap and change between Insert Cards and Cutaway Cards that allows you to make something more conservative or something totally vibrant with the holographic adhesives.
While Cricut Design Space supports a plethora of pre-made cards, these can be modified or you can even create your own cards from scratch or download SVG (scalable vector graphics) files from the net to unleash your inner creativity. However the biggest change to card making is the ability of using the new 2×2 card mat that allows you to make four cards at once.
The Cricut Design Space also offers users the ability to create both rectangular and square cards that again increases the scope of what the Cricut Maker 3 can do!
Add in different card sizes that include 8.9 x 12.4cm, 10.8 x 14cm, 11.43 x 15.87cm, 12.1 x 12.1cm and 12.1 x 16.8cm and as you can see, there are no limitations on what the new card mat can create. Also you’re not just restricted to four of the same cards as you can create four totally different cards as well to really personalise your messages.
Final Thoughts?
Cricut has made making cards even easier and if you’re looking to personalise your cards for all sorts of occasions, then no look no further as the solution is now here with the Card Mat 2×2 for the Cricut Maker 3. Best of all, the designs are all unique and you will definitely not find them in a Newsagent or large department store. Furthermore, creating cards as Cricut say is actually quicker than jumping in the car and driving to the store to purchase one.
