How to use the card maker with Cricut Joy!

Did you enjoy cricket to the fullest ? I love my small but powerful car... and it's perfect for social distancing. This small tool is perfect for the beginner. The best part is the map maker, he's dynamite!

Let me show you how easy it is to make Cricket Joy and cut out handmade cards with the help of a card friend.

Cricket sent me this car as part of the blog team. I'm looking forward to it and all comments are mine. Links included.

Cricket Joy measures 8 x 5 x 5 x 4 x 4 so it fits in a room or is easy to store when not in use.


Here are 5 reasons to enjoy cricket

Space saving;
It takes up little space, but at the same time, the cutting machine has all the advantages.

Economic crisis
Low cost for car and consumer goods, much more economical.

Crafts on the street;
Take Cricut Joy with you to events, classes or on the go.

Bluetooth connection with mobile device app
No need to have a big computer or laptop! Just download the app and use Bluetooth to control your device.

Carpet for making postcards;
Cut the folded card without cutting both layers of paper.


Cricket Joy has a complete line of machines. The razor blade is smaller than the Maker of Explore Air 2, so it doesn't change. Vinyl is ready to order for Joy. Joy carpets are 4.5 inches wide and can be cut even without a carpet.

Long pieces of vinyl can be cut up to 4 feet long and repeated up to 20 feet long. It's more than the Cricut Maker in the Air 2 Explore.

All the advantages of metal, metal, paint, vinyl, vinyl printing for labels and stickers.

Step 2 ፡ Draw!

Start by choosing a map in Cricut Design Space. Most of them are free, some require additional purchases. I chose this Tandam bike card, I love it. Follow the simple instructions on your phone or device.

Remove the plastic cover on the deck of cards. Then lay the card on the mat and glue the card on top.

Insert the pen into the Cricket Joy and press Go.

Connect the Cricut Joy to a mobile device through bluetooth using the Cricut Design Space app.

Step 3 ፡ Draw and cut!

The tool will then ask you to replace the handle with a cutting knife. Then click "Go" and cut out the design.

When cutting is complete, the device will ask you to remove the mat. Go ahead and delete.
