Here is one of the wonderful creations you can do in a jiffy with the Cricut machine! My official First Project via Cricut. A simple Thank You card with a great handmade feel, done in a quarter of the time it'd take to cut out that word by hand. Probably even less! Next time, I plan to use a contrasting color on the little "ribbon" that goes across the word so it sticks out a lot more. Probably something like yellow or orange. A color that isn't on the striped paper at all. Stay tuned for more Cricut projects!
