I saw similar cards like this made with punches and decided to try to make it with my Cricut. It turned out great! I designed it in Design Studio with the George and Basic Shapes cartridge. You can download the file if you want to make this card. The file contains a page showing the ipod put together, then a page for each color (base color, white, silver). Have fun!
