LEARN TO MAKE CUTE HOPPY EASTER INSERT CARDS USING ANY CRICUT CUTTING MACHINE

Can you believe it is already time to start thinking about Easter? Wow, this year is flying by! The holiday is coming early this year so I wanted to design some Easter Insert Cards for you all!

As for all my insert cards I design, it can be made using any Cricut, or other brand, cutting machine you have! In the download, you will find two folders inside. One for Maker/Explore and one for Joy.

Note: The version for the Cricut Joy is only the design so it would be best to use Cricut’s Insert Card Packs available at most craft stores! For more information on how to use this design with a Cricut Joy, please take a look at my Cricut Joy New Years Insert Card tutorial!

In this tutorial, I’ll give you my step by step instructions and tell you what materials I think work best when making this project.

You can download the SVG file for this project at the bottom of this post.

STEP 3 - UNGROUP CARD LAYERS

The file will upload into Cricut Design Space grouped together. You will want to hit the UNGROUP button to separate the layers.

STEP 4 - PREP THE CARD LAYERS

Unlike some of my other insert cards, I designed the text to be multi-colored. To do this, I couldn't set everthing for you in advance. So, there are a few things that we need to do before we can make it.

Highlight the "Easter" text layer in the LAYERS panel

highlight the text layer

Under the OPERATION menu, select PEN.

change the operation to PEN

Select your color choice in the colors menu.

select your color

Continue this step for the remaining two text layers.

repeat for the other text layersrepeat for the other text layers

Note: If you would like the text to be one color, highlight all three text layers, change the operation to PEN, and choose your color.

Next, highlight the fold line in the LAYERS panel.

Under the OPERATION menu, select SCORE.

Now, select all four layers in the LAYERS panel.

Click ATTACH in the lower right-hand corner of the LAYERS panel.

The score line for the envelope has already been set for you so you can click the GREEN Make It button.

STEP 5 - MAKE YOUR MATERIAL SELECTIONS AND PREPARE YOUR MATS

You will see the three layers for this card in the mat preview. Click the CONTINUE button.

click continue

For this tutorial, I am using Medium Cardstock and Glitter Cardstock. Select your materials accordingly.

Attach your cardstock to the Cricut StandardGrip Mat.

STEP 6 - 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.

press the flashing arrows to load your mat

Hit the "C" button once it begins to flash and you are on your way to creating your card! Follow the prompts in Design Space on when to change out the different tools.

press the flashing "C" button to begin your cut

Repeat Step 6 until all layers have been cut.

STEP 7 - ASSEMBLE YOUR CARD

Now that all layers have been cut, you can assemble this card.

Begin by folding along the score line of the outer card layer.

Add a small amount of glue or adhesive to any portions of the outer layer that may be curling a little. This is something usually I do for all my insert cards but is totally optional.

This card is so fun and so colorful. I know anyone who receives it will smile!

While playing around with pen colors, I noticed that the lighter colored pens create almost a watercolor look.

I liked this look but if you don’t prefer to see pen strokes, I would recommend a darker color pen!
