Love Wedding Card Tutorial

WHAT YOU NEED:

• Cricut machine and Cricut Design Space
• Our Love Wedding Card and Envelope files to upload to Cricut Design Space which you can access by filling in this form and requesting “Love Wedding Card File for Cricut.”
• 2 sheets of 12″ x 12″ white card stock – one for the card itself, and one for the Cricut cuts. If you’re kind of a saver, like me, you can do it all with one sheet. Make the card first, then fit the Cricut cut onto the leftover half.
• 1 sheet of 12″ x 12″ floral scrapbook paper.
• 1 sheet of 12″ x 12″ white 80# text weight paper for the envelope.
• cutting mats; light-stick mat for cutting scrapbook paper envelope liner
• ruler, scissors or paper cutter, scoring tool
• adhesive foam mounting tape

Prepare the Love Wedding Card

CUT THE CRICUT FILES:

1. Use the contact form from the above list, request the Love Wedding Card files, and download them to your computer. The files include a 5.75″ x 5.75″ square with a heart cut out, three Love words, the envelope and envelope liner patterns.
2. Upload the files onto your Cricut Design Space. Erase white spaces and save to your projects. Add fold lines to the envelope and card.
3. Place a white sheet of card stock onto a cutting mat. Arrange the square with the heart cut out and the three Love words on Design Space. Hide the envelope and envelope liner cuts. Cut the white card pieces. Remove from the cutting mat and set aside.
4. Insert the scoring pen into the Cricut machine. Hide the heart square and love words. Unhide the envelope. Place a sheet of white luxury letter-weight paper onto a lightly tacky cutting mat and score and cut the envelope. Your envelope would also be lovely in a solid color that matches the paper you use behind the heart cutout and the envelope liner.
5. Hide the envelope cut on Design Space and unhide the envelope liner cut. Place the floral scrapbook paper on the light tack cutting mat and score and cut the envelope liner.

Assemble the Card

1. Cut one sheet of white card stock in half. Score at the center and fold to make a 6″x 6″ top fold card.
2. Stack the three Love words and glue one on top of the other. Glue across the heart cut out on the white square.
3. Adhere foam mounting tape to the back of the white heart cut out square. Place it all around the edges and 1/4″ in from the edge of the heart.
4. Cut a 4″ x 4″ square of floral scrapbook paper. Place it on the top fold card front so the heart cut out will be centered on top of it. Glue to the card front.
5. Peel the backing from the foam mounting tape and adhere the heart cut out square on the card front. Be sure the card fold is on the top.

The Love Wedding Card Envelope

1. Determine which flaps on the envelope are the sides. The sides are smaller than the bottom and top flaps.
2. Place the envelope liner so the top flap is 1/2″ from the flap edges and down into the main part of the envelope. Glue lightly right along the edge of the top flap.
3. Fold the envelope along the scored lines, beginning with folding the sides in toward the middle, over the floral lining. Then fold the bottom flap up and glue the edges to the side flaps.
4. Fold the top flap of the envelope down. After the card is placed in the envelope you can glue the flap if it will be mailed or use a sticker or wax seal if it will be placed on a gift.
