Card of the Week

I've finally gotten back to making cardmaking and I used one of my Christmas presents.  My lovely B.W. gave me a Cricut Create for Christmas.  Although, I've talked about it for years, I was completely surprised.  It never entered my mind as a gift option.

I opened it last week...just to have a look-see.  It's been sitting on my table ever since.  I think I've been a little intimidated to just dive into this.  But today, I decided to give it a whirl.

Here's what I made:

I'm very pleased with the result.  I could use a short-cut on how to adhere these little letters to the card.  Anybody got any recommendations?
