Cricut DIY Greeting Card From Scratch

I have a lot of card stock that I purchased when I got my Cricut. Rather than getting the card blanks I decided to create my greeting cards from scratch using just the card stock and my Cricut.

It was a pretty simple procedure using basic functions of Cricut Design Space. With this process and the stock images on Design Space you can create a simple greeting card in minutes.
