When asked “How will you load all of your materials for this project?” Select “On Card Mat” then click the green confirm button.
Prepare Your Mat





Take the insert card out of the package, for this project I’ve used 4.25x5.5 inch cards. Take out the folded card. Take off the protective film. Then Lift the bottom of the sticky top and insert the card into the slot, line up with the top and 4.25 by 5.5 box
- Note the mat is made up of a sticky top and flap to insert the card into
Stick the Card Onto the Mat


Click “Continue” in the Design Space

Plug Into Your Cricut Joy and Open Flap Via Top Indent

Note: The Cricut will connect via Bluetooth to your computer
Select “Medium Cardstock” for the Materials

Take Out the Fine Point Blade by Opening the Blue Clamp





Insert Pen Until You Can No Longer and Close Clamp


Quickly Push the Card Mat With the Arrow Facing Up Under White Guides Against Grey Rubber Feet



Note mat will load back and forth to make sure it is aligned
IF grey wheels do not grab the card mat unplug Cricut and start over at step 2
Click “Go”

Note design space will prompt you to change from the pen to the fine-point blade
When Prompted Open the Clamp and Switch Pen for Fine Point Blade.
