Easy New Years Insert Cards

LEARN TO MAKE EASY NEW YEARS INSERT CARDS USING YOUR CRICUT MAKER OR CRICUT EXPLORE AIR 2

This year, we may not be celebrating with family and friends because of the pandemic. However, we can still show everyone we are excited for the new, and hopefully better, year with these New Years insert cards!

I designed these to be made on my Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore Air 2. When you have finished the tutorial, you will have a gorgeous card that looks like you made it on a Cricut Joy.
