Love Wedding Card Tutorial Using Cricut Design Space
The Love Wedding Card tutorial uses Cricut Design Space to create a gorgeous heart cut out for the front of this handmade card. Floral scrapbook paper flirts through the cut out, and takes the handmade matching envelope to a whole new level.
Today we’re sharing complete step-by-step instructions so you can make this elegant yet simple love wedding card.
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 joining our email list and going to our free printables page.
- 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 scrapbook 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:
- Use the CTA button (scroll down this page, you’ll find the entry form somewhere!) to access the Love Wedding Card files. The files include a 5.75″ x 5.75″ square with a heart cut out, three Love words, the envelope and envelope liner patterns.
- When you fill in the email subscribe form and click submit, your computer will start grinding and complaining (at least mine does) and will open up to the Spring Wedding Congratulations Card on Design Space. Click Customize.
- 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.
- Insert the scoring pen into the Cricut machine. Hide the heart square and love words. Unhide the envelope. Place a sheet of white scrapbook paper onto a lightly tacky cutting mat and score and cut the envelope.
- 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
- Cut one sheet of white card stock in half. Score at the center and fold to make a 6″x 6″ top fold card.
- Stack the three Love words and glue one on top of the other. Glue across the heart cut out on the white square.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- Determine which flaps on the envelope are the sides. The sides are smaller than the bottom and top flaps.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
We hope you enjoy making this card
