People who tried this

So, since I don’t have any sentiment dies or working stamps, I had to do this pain-in-the-ass workaround for my Cricut Joy to do print then cut. And despite my best efforts, it was still off and you can see a little white around the top edges of the “thank you”. I had embossed a bunch of stuff when first got my Sizzix, so I used some of that for decorating the edges. It doesn’t look too bad. But Jesus Christ it took me over 2 hours to make this simple ass card bc of all the tiny, annoying steps. First the print then cut. Then trying to put tiny pieces of foam tape behind the letters to raise them up was a fking trial.

Thanks! I’ve been making cards for a while with just the Cricut but this whole fiasco with the print-then-cut and then tiny bits of foam tape made me batty. Someone else gave me some ideas instead of foam tape so I’m gonna try that! (Making a little banner behind the letters to attach tape or cutting out several of the same thing to glue together for dimension.)
