Cricut Joy macarons card making set (A1 size) with envelopes and inserts

The essentials (and what you’re really buying)

This Cricut JOY card kit is aimed at people who want quick, tidy greeting cards without the usual faff. The idea is simple: you get a ready-made set of cards (in a macarons-inspired two-tone palette), plus the matching inserts and envelopes, so you can focus on cutting and assembling rather than messing around with measurements.

In this pack you receive 15 cards split across four colourways: 4 Tulipán, 4 Pastel Blue, 4 Light Cyan and 3 Lavender. Alongside that, there are 15 grey plumb inserts and 15 white envelopes.

The “two-tone” look matters because it’s the main visual hook of this set: it’s designed so the result feels coordinated and thoughtful, even if you’re not an expert crafter.

Key features that affect the end result

Where this kit helps is in the reduction of assembly frustration. The base concept is that you can create two-tone greeting cards without the mess and tangles that can come with glue, as you’re not trying to build everything from scratch.

On the making side, it’s intended for Cricut Joy. The cards are designed to cut using the appropriate Cricut Joy card mat (sold separately). If you already own a Cricut Joy and you’re looking for ready-to-go card blanks to match its ecosystem, this is a straightforward “buy once, make cards often” type of add-on.

It also lists specific sizes for the card blanks, inserts and envelopes: - cards at 8.89 cm x 12.45 cm (3.5 in x 4.9 in) - inserts at 8.26 cm x 11.8 cm (3.25 in x 4.65 in) - envelopes at 9.21 cm x 13.08 cm (3.62 in x 5.15 in)

What you’ll notice day to day

Paper-based card kits can be a bit hit-and-miss: sometimes the sizing is just slightly off, and then it becomes annoying. Here, the pack is built around defined dimensions for both the card stock and what goes inside.

A practical example: imagine you’re making a birthday card in the evening. You pick the colour you want (say, Pastel Blue), cut your design with the Cricut Joy using the Cricut Joy cards cutting mat, slide the grey plumb insert into place, and then seal it with the included white envelope. It’s a small workflow, but it tends to feel smoother than starting with random paper sizes and trying to get everything to line up.

That said, the pack doesn’t magically remove every step—cutting still needs the right Cricut Joy card mat, and that mat is sold separately.

At a glance: colour set and quantities

This one is for people who like consistency. You’re not just getting one design or one look—you’re getting a batch that covers multiple occasions.

You’ll receive: - 4 cards in Tulipán - 4 cards in Pastel Blue - 4 cards in Light Cyan - 3 cards in Lavender - 15 grey plumb inserts - 15 white envelopes

It’s a limited mix, so if you’re hoping for a specific colour in larger quantity, it may feel a bit tight (Lavender is the smallest count here).

Who it suits best (and who should think twice)

It makes sense if you already own a Cricut Joy and you want card blanks designed for that machine, in a neat set that includes the inserts and envelopes.

It might not suit you if you don’t have a Cricut Joy card mat yet. Without the right cutting mat for Cricut Joy cards, you may find you can’t use the kit as intended.

Also, if your main goal is heavy mixed-media crafting (lots of thick embellishments, layers that fight the envelope size, and so on), this type of kit is more about clean, everyday greeting cards than “build a masterpiece” scrapbooking.

Is it worth it?

Worth buying if you want a tidy way to make two-tone greeting cards for common occasions, already bundled with inserts and envelopes, and you’re working within the Cricut Joy setup. The defined sizes also help reduce “will it fit?” moments.

Better avoided if you don’t have the Cricut Joy cards cutting mat (sold separately), or if you’re expecting this kit to handle cutting and assembly without any extra equipment.
