FAQ
Do I need a special blade?
No. A standard Fine-Point Blade works perfectly for Cutaway Cards.
Can I use these cards with a Maker 1?
Yes, just place them on the Cricut Card Mat 2×2 (sold separately).
Will they fit the original Cricut Joy?
The Lagoon sampler is A6 size, so you’ll need the Joy Xtra or any Explore/Maker. For the smaller Joy, grab the A2 or 4.25″ × 5.5″ packs.
Can I foil or emboss after cutting?
Absolutely—add foil with the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool before you peel away the cut pieces.
