I cut the word art, "Happy Easter" at 2-3/4" using the regular and shadow features. This font used in the word art is also on the cartridge and cuts extremely well, even at small sizes like 1". I tested some other things and discovered this. Love how cute the font is!

What a fun card! I love the colors and it was all put together so nicely! Thank you for sharing!
Cute card! My favorite cricut is my Expression.
Thanks so much for this adorable card. I think that I am going to make some today!! Have you ever tried the Xyron machines for adhering those fine cuts? I find that they are amazing and much easier for me to use than liquid. Happy Easter! Love your mailings!!
I LOVE Doodlebug products and your card is precious! I carry my "baby bug" with me everywhere I go, as it can do anything I want it to!
I love this card it's very colorful! My favorite machine is my Imagine. I just need to use it a little more.
I just love this Easter card, think I might add a wiggle spring to it for my grandkids. Thank you.
My Fushia Expression is my favorite machine! I wouldn't know what to do without it.
What an adorable card! I love the bright, spring looking colors, too.

Thanks for sharing.

Cute card.Almost wish I didn't have a house load of company on their way here so I could go make some Easter cards.
I too love the doodlebug spring papers! The polka dots is one of my favorites and you made such a cute card with it!
This card is very pretty!!! I love all my Cricuts, but my new Imagine is my favorite!! Have a Happy Easter!!!
Love your fun card! Don't you just love cricut cartridges that have so many hidden gems! I own the Martha Stewart ones and just love them! Thank you for reminding me about them! Happy Easter!!
Happy Easter to you, and thanks for sharing your cute, springy card.
Although all I have is an original bug, if I had a choice, I would go for a brand new Expression. :)
Beautiful card!!! My favorite Cricut is my Expressions 2 that I recently got, so I still have lots to learn and love about my new machine. Happy Easter!!!!
Love the brightness of the card!
My favorite Cricut machine is MY Expression. Love, love, love it!!! An amazing, first of its kind machine with SUCH versatility!
Your card is darling! I really like the stitch marks you made on the lettering. It adds SO much to a card or layout. I ALWAYS forget to do that when I am finished with a layout/card, but know it needs a little bit more of something. Thanks for reminding me! :)
i love the simple yet elegant look of the card. The way you tied it all together. Thanks for sharing your inspiration.

That is a very pretty card....that paper was beautiful! I noticed in the video it said "visit me at Cricut Holiday"....so I know it was an older video...but somehow, I had not seen it! Love simple cards ...but still so pretty!
Thanks!
Just what I needed...an idea for a quick but cute Easter card. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Thank you for sharing your talents with us. I would love to win the "Fun in the Sun" cartridge. However, even more important is I WOULD LOVE SOME SUN. Thank you again for your generosity.
Very cute card!! Love it!!
Joy, love your card and thanks so much for the video and your honesty. I feel so much better knowing that I'm not the only one who "eyeballs" things and doesn't use a ruler and just kind of wings it most of the time. : ) My favorite machine is my Expression 2. Have a happy Easter.
Expression. I'm still a novice with it but it's very nice
Cute card with spring colors!
That card is way too cute!!!! I LOVE it! Also, thanks for the tutorial on the iron ons. We have been thinking about that for our Girl Scout Troop t-shirts:)
Happy Easter!!!!!
Super cute card! Love the cheery springtime colors!
How can I choose between my Cricuts? That's like asking me to choose between my children! ;-) I love both of them for their own reasons.
BTW - I have not been able to post comments when using Google Chrome but I can when using Internet Explorer. Not sure if you have heard this before but I thought that I would let you know.
Just love it!!
I love the use of colors with the polka dots. Love the inspiration....
Thanks
So Springy and cute.
I just love the Easter Card. Very nice and Easter-ie colors. I have a personal cutter. We're retired and on a fixed income and just can't swing buying a bigger machine. But that's OK this still works. Thanks for giving me the chance to win this cartridge. I've wanted this one ever since it came out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed my name is drawn.

Your card is so sweet! I love the colours and the pretty ribbon. Those darling little brads are the perfect embellishments.
I had an original Cricut, which was awesome but then I upgraded to an Expression, which I love so I passed my original along to a friend who now enjoys the little critter! It felt good to know someone else can enjoy using such a fun machine!
Happy Easter!!! :)
Super card and yes I love the font. Phyllis/fefelu

My fav is my cricut exp 2!! So versatile .
Cute easter card!!

I like that polkadat ribbon and the dash marks on the letters ♥
Such a cute card - and I adore the 'Cake' carts!! I'm so glad that your project alerts others to these great carts..... When I tell/show people what they have in them, people dash out to find them! Especially because of all of those great borders, and how many of the holidays are written in one piece (hooray!).............
Your card made me happy - the bright, pure colors, and the cute ribbon...Thanks for getting my day off to a great start!
So Cute and looks so simple to do! My favorite machine is my little Create however I have been playing on an expression of my niece's and am starting to fall in love!
Happy Easter!

This is just adorable! Love the bright colors and the faux stitching on the sentiment.
Love this card! Especially the ribbon! My favorite machine is the expression 2 because it's the only one I have ;-) happy Easter!

Cute & colorful card! My Expression is my favorite! (sorry to my 'original' Cricut~dusty & never used anymore...) Happy Holiday!!
So cute! Great colors! I love my green cricut expression! christina ccapps35@gmail.com
great card. Just got an E2 as I love my E.
Such a cute card...love the stripes and sparkle! :) As it goes in favorites, I'm torn. I sold my old red Expression to buy the new E2, and I'm finding I miss Old Red! So for now the E2 is my only Cricut, but not sure it's my fave. :(
I only have one Cricut machine (a baby bug) so I guess that's my favorite, though I do love using my Gypsy to expand its features.
Love the cute card :)

How bright and fun!
My favourite Cricut machine was my Pink Expression - but unfortunately, it is in Cricut heaven now. I am very grateful for the replacement Expression sent to me by ProvoCraft - but it's just not as pretty as my pink one was!!
I love the ticking around the edges I never think to do that. but I love the way it looks!
polka dots is my all time favorite design. LOVE 'EM!! the Happy Easter turned out very cute & the bunny & duck look so dang cute. thanks for sharing~Suz
