This is fantastic! Thank you so much. I bet you could also use the template to add text with the Cricket pen to the inside!

[@lorena-saad]

omg, I found them 2 weeks ago, but just started to think about using them today. Lucky to come across your tutorial. Great template, great explanation.. I'll subscribe right away. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Him thank you for the video! I was trying to follow it buy my maker wants to score first. Did you change any settings? I don't have a scoring wheel or a stylus. Thanks!

[@zairarussell1968]

You know what I did, on the panel where is shows elements, I took the scoring guide and turned it into a pen. So all the machine did was draw a tiny square on the white guide and then it cut the rest out.!!

I just bought this today and wanted to follow along but I can’t find your template on design space, could it be because I’m using an iPad?

[@bevjerrydog]

will this work for square cards and other sizes and what adjustments would you make foe example a 6x6 card from retailer Thank you ??

[@TyarsEssentials]

I haven’t seen the 6x6 cards. The same concept would work, but you’d need to resize all of the elements.

[@profitglen]

That's cool, but thats a whole lot of work to make one card.
