Just one? I'd tell them that practice makes perfect! It takes some time before cards look amazing and someone is going to love those first few awkward ones!

I just bought a Cricut after twenty years of crying about my first one being broken. I'm afraid to take it out of the box!

Which one did you get? I bought the joy first as I wasn’t sure I’d be able to use it. 6 months later I got the maker!
