One of the reasons that I wanted my Cricut Explore to be back in business was so I could cut this card for my daddy's birthday.
The machine struggled a bit to cut the silver foil pieces, and it wasn't until the next night that it occurred to me that the blade could need changing. Duh! I wish I had thought about that before I put this card in the mail because the new blade was cuttin' like butter!
In the above photo, you can see how the card opens and get a glimpse at the sentiment. It is so easy and fun to take an image and turn it into a shaped card, and I think I could make shaped cards for days!
I didn't get a really good photo of the sentiment, but I love that the machine has the capability of writing inside the card! That is quite awesome.
Daddy's birthday is on April 10th, and this is the first time that I know of that his celebration will be delayed since we can't get together. He'll have to wait for the gifts, but at least he already has the card.

Love your card and I love my Cricut Maker. I had the original Explore and finally decided to upgrade. Glad I did. May I ask where you made your fold for the card? What is the size of the card. My son would love this.
Thank you, Karla! Lucky you to have the Maker! I would love to have one--it's just not in my budget--yet. My card folds on the side. Since "welding" the two pieces took up some of the actual size of the card, I cut another back layer (in black) so that all of the other pieces would fit true to size. This may not make any sense to you--it's just the (easy) way that I make shaped cards. Anyway . . . I don't have the card at my house, but it fit a standard A2 envelope. It was approximately 3.5" x 5.5".
