Here is some other info:
When you cut a 5-1/2" rectangular envelope, it is convenient to have it fit onto a 12x12 sheet of paper, as opposed to 12x24 paper. The following envelopes will cut a 5-1/2" envelope on a 12x12 sheet of paper:
Boot (key 42)
peach (key 43)
sundae (key 45)
lemonade (key 46)
pig (key 47)
Wondering why I chose 5-1/2"? Well, that makes a nice sized card (approx. 4" x 5-1/2", almost an A2) and it's nice to have a matching envelope that is made from a 12x12 sheet of paper.
Hope this helps!

Hi hi: I am a good instruction reader but have to save watching your video cements some of this cartridge. The numbering pages is a great tip. Thanks...looking forward to pt. 2.
yeap...it does helps! Just remember when Joy says she keeps it at X size she also means the "real size button" must be OFF. This way you get all the cuts accordingly to X size.
Great video! I am saving $ for this cartridge
I need to get Just Because & Wild Card cartridges!!!
Thank You Thank You, I was having trouble trying to figure out this envelope things as the #'s did not match the page #'s now I know it's the key #'s.
Thank you for this video. I am learning so much. I just got my cricut (regular) just a few weeks ago. I am having so much fun. Thank you for sharing your creative talent with us.
Great video---thanks so much for the tips. I just got the cart last week and then left on vacation and have not had time to play with it yet. I took it out of the box today. I may try to make a card tomorrow.....
I just don't think I could use my Cricut machine without your guidance, Joy! You are amazing. I hope one day to meet you in person to thank you for all of your inspiration!
thanks for the info, it will save me a lot of headaches and tossing paper.

Great video, Joy. I just got my expression the other day and haven't had a chance to break it out of the box yet. Watching this video will certainly make it easier to use when I try it. Definitely a cart that I want!
Nancy B...
Thanks for the Tips, I made this card last week and wasted a lot of cardstock the shadow does come up larger. So I brought down the size from 5 1/2" to 5 1/4 inch and it was much better.
Nice card. Thanks again

Honestly, you give the best tutorials going! I love learning what the newer carts can do. Thank you for all the time you spend.
Thank you for the clear and informative video.
Thanks Joy for your instructional videos...looking forward to watching them later this afternoon, for some reason when I change my duragesic patch..I can't sleep, so going to take a power nap, and then I have a bit of cardmaking, and a mini book to work on. Sure love your "doggone" card, it is too cute!
I think anyone can tell I'm a bit wiped when I start to ramble and give so much TMI. Somebody stop me...LOL
You ROCK Joy!!!
*hugs* & a crafty goodness day!!!

Joy,
Great video and I will be sure and mark this to save so I can refer back to it. I understand the system. This video it so great. I have been without my computer for 3-weeks now and I don't think it can be repaired. On a friends computer. I wanted to enter for the give away and not sure where to enter. Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, I love these type of video's. Keep up the great work. Sandy Bayles
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I don't have this cartridge "yet" but now that I have seen your videos I am a little more inclined to try and get it. You make it look so simple.
I cannot say thank you enough to you for all the help in learning new things with the cartridges and embellishments.
I am waiting patiently for that Just Because cartridge to be 'located' near me somewhere and keeping my fingers crossed for it to go on sale for it's just so hard to afford these for most of us sigh so I'll keep dreaming and hoping I win the state lottery lol.
Again thx!
LindaLee

nkmedar56@gmail.com
Wow Joy that is helpful. I just ordered Just Because and can't wait to get started. Thank you soooooooooooo much!
Awesome video. I must have this cartridge!
I'm just waiting to get this cartridge. Looks like a lot of cute things on it. Thanks for the videos, you're the best!
Carla from Utah
Thanks for the tips. Everything is great!
I love your videos! This is definitely a cartridge I'm going to save up for. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you so much for this video. I have had this cart for a while and was wondering why my cards were matching up in size. I never even thought of the enevlope at the bottom of the row. Did I miss that in the cart somewhere or is that something you figured out. Either way you brought it to my attention. THANKS!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Your tips helped a lot. Especially that the envelope on the bottom matches the cards above, and to make an envelope before the card to make sure it will fit :) THANKS!!
Excellent video! You do an amazing job explaining things!
