I bought a Cricut Expression machine, but now I’m afraid that I won’t be able to use it for cards, like I intended to. Will it also make smaller designs, which would fit on a card, or will it only cut large characters and designs?

YES! Your machine can cut as small as it’ll allow .25″ to as large as the sheet of paper you use.
(I own both machines, small one and the expression). Use it for card making; 3D paper craft & scrapbooking.
Play with it and odds are you will love it. With the expression you can cut from 1/4″ up to 11 1/2″. It is versatile that you will find you do much more than you thought with it. When using Bazzill cardstock you will want to make sure you use the highest tension setting for the cut. You can also cut chipboard using the multi-cut function. One suggestion is don’t try to do anything too detailed in the really small sizes. The cricut will cut it (for the most part), but they are so hard to work with.
I have the Cricut and I love it! I make cards all the time. It does all kinds of sizes from “1/4 all the way up to “5. My only complaints are the cost of the cartridges, you have to replace the cutting mat all the time and sometimes it cuts too deep or not deep at all. Just play around with it and you’ll soon learn to love it.
My sister in law only uses it for card making. she even makes her envelopes with it. Yes it can cut very small as well as large.
