Easy Cutout Christmas Cards
LEARN TO MAKE SIMPLE CUTOUT CHRISTMAS CARDS USING YOUR CRICUT OR CUTTING MACHINE

These cards are not only pretty but you can whip them up in a hurry! They should only take roughly 15 minutes to make!
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.

STEP 3 - MAKE YOUR MATERIAL SELECTIONS AND PREPARE YOUR MATS

To load the mat into the machine, press the double arrows button. Do make sure that the mat is positioned under the mat guides.

Now that all layers have been cut, you can assemble this cute card.
Flip the cutout layer over and apply adhesive to the back.
Place over the inlay layer. In this tutorial, that is the patterned cardstock.
Press to ensure adhesion.
Gently fold along the score line of the card base.
Press the fold with your scraper.
Flip the completed inlay layer over and add adhesive to the back.
Carefully adhere the inlay layer to the card base.
Your card is complete.
I have included an envelope for you to make as well. That file is located under ENVELOPE in your download.
I hope you get a chance to make these beautiful cards. Add some glitter paper to add that extra holiday sparkle!
