I had bought the Cricut Design Studio Software before Christmas but had never used it. So today when I was thinking of a card to make for my Great Nephew’s Baptism I thought I would pull it out. It took me all “bleeping” day to do this. Every time I tried to make a cut I would get a pop-up message that the Firmware needed to be updated. So I would update the firmware and make a cut. Of course I was trying different sizes, tried to make a smaller version to fit inside to cover the brads, etc. So there were a lot of Firmware updates!! Then I wanted to “try” the center cut, so I used my computer to do the sentiment then centered the blade, hit center cut and the dang thing would cut somewhere totally different. I finally gave up on the center cut but swear I am going to master the Cricut Design Studio and Expression.
Bottom line – I finished the Baptism card 6 hours later – YES this little thing took 6 hours. Looking at it, I think the ribbon needs to be lower but I don’t want to fiddle with it anymore. I figure 6 hours is enough on one card.
Have a good one.

this is absolutely adorable!
6 hours? holy kazowie….it looks great. thought cricut was supposed to make cutting easier, make a template and use it to trace for next time instead :D.
This is great and was totally worth your 6 hours! Ah, I have a bug as well and I know what you mean about the updates. I forget to check for them and when I do, I need to update about 50! Then forgetting the firmware is a nightmare. Works totally well when it is all up to snuff!
Adorable!
This card is so adorable…I just love it. This would be one I would keep.
At least you can take consolation in the fact you made an AMAZING card and I’m sure it will go into a scrap/baby book to be cherished for years to come. Be sure to put the Cricut into the corner for its bad behavior 🙂
Oh I love this cutie! So sorry it took so much time… I know how frustrating that is… but it is a wonderful card and will be so appreciated! I have been debating about the Cricut and now I’m thinking I don’t have time to figure out another labor intensive thing!!! LOL! I’ve been gone for a week and am totally exhausted… but hope to be back at creating soon! Have a great night!
Elizabeth you did a fabulous job on this card. It is precious! I understand your frustration w/DSS too. I have done the same thing spending hours to get a simple cut. However, I truly love my Cricut & the DSS too.
Very nice Elizabeth…when you master it you will have to explain it to me…hahaha!
Sorry you had some much trouble, I would have given up a lot soon than that. Great card though, it’s so pretty.
It’s a totally adorable card, so your hard work was all worth it.
I’ve been thinking about a Cricut for some time now – but now I’m thinking I might not need it at all!
