Instructions
STEP 1 - DOWNLOAD THE SVG CUT FILE
Download the SVG Cut File for the Best Dad Ever Layered Paper Craft (#915) from the File Library. Free members can download the cut file from the Free Library. Not a member? Click here to join.
STEP 2 - UPLOAD THE SVG FILE TO CRICUT DESIGN SPACE
If you aren't familiar with uploading SVG files into Design Space, take a look at my quick and easy tutorial here. Using your smartphone? Click here for my step-by-step guide on uploading SVG files with the Cricut App.
STEP 3 - RESIZE DESIGN (OPTIONAL)
I have sized the project to fit within the cutting dimensions of a 12x12 cutting mat.
Using the sizing bar, resize the design if you wish. Make sure to leave the proportions locked.
Click the GREEN Make button.
STEP 4 - MAKE YOUR MATERIAL SELECTIONS AND PREPARE YOUR MATS
You will see the layers for this project in the mat preview.
Click the CONTINUE button.
For this tutorial, I am using Medium Cardstock. Select your materials accordingly.
Attach your cardstock to the Cricut StandardGrip Mat using the Cricut Brayer.
STEP 5 - LOADING YOUR MATS AND CUTTING YOUR MATERIALS
To load the mat into the machine, press the double arrows button. Do make sure that the mat is positioned under the mat guides.
You will know the machine is ready to cut your material when you see the flashing "C" button. Press that to start the cut.
Follow Design Space prompts to change out the mats.
Once the cut is complete, make sure to peel the mat away from the cardstock rather than the cardstock from the mat. This will prevent any curling of your design.
Repeat Step 5 for until all layers have been cut.
STEP 6 - ASSEMBLE YOUR PROJECT
Now that everything is cut, we can start to assemble the layered paper craft.
Layer the design. I have a Layering Guide within the download for you to reference. Add foam squares to the back of the layers if desired.
Your project is complete.
