FROM MY KITCHEN - Recipe Card

My brain is just spinning with the possibilities of the new FROM MY KITCHEN cricut cartridge! I love the INDEX CARD image that it has to offer! I plan on using this to make Christmas gifts (and will post them all on the CHRISTMAS WITH THE CRICUT blog!), so stay tuned for that post!

In the meatime, I want to share with you a demonstration of how to print a recipe on cardstock with your computer & printer, then cutting that recipe out in the shape of an index card. I know that many of you have seen me demo the CENTERPOINT feature before, but I just love it and use it all the time! So, for those who still don't know how to use CENTERPOINT, here's how you do it...




Oops... I said that the cricut 'prints' the recipes, but meant that it will "CUT" the recipe cards out. I did not use my cricut to print these... I used my computer & printer! Other than that blooper, I hope that the video was helpful! I also want to thank my good friends Greg & Debbie!! We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at their house tonight and then Greg gave me lessons on editing video... I think it's gonna cost me some cricut classes for Debbie, but I would have done that anyway! Shhh... don't tell them! LOL! Anyway... THANKS guys! I am trying to make better quality videos and maybe with Greg's help, I'll get there! LOL!

I want this cart so bad and to have you show us how to use the center point button with this cart is fantastic. Thank you!

Is Ashlyn's Alphabet on CDS? I looked for it & didn't see it. I just updated my software with some of the new cards like Sweethearts, From my Kitchen, etc. but I don't see Ashlyn's Alphabet.

I could have been looking under the wrong section though..

Let me know. Thanks!

great video! I just now found your site and I love it! I never knew about the centerpoint OR about the fit to length! I see the buttons on my expression but never "got it!" Thanks for your clear instructions!

Hi,

Can you explain why you use the fit to length button? Would I use this key if I want to cut out a 4x6 blank recipe card and put my Cricut on 6"? I tried cutting one out at 6" and it was massive!! All the videos I've watched on the fit to length button says you have to put your paper to the left? Do you not have to do this if you are using the center point key? Thanks for your help.
