Easy New Years Insert Cards


LEARN TO MAKE EASY NEW YEARS INSERT CARDS USING YOUR CRICUT MAKER OR CRICUT EXPLORE AIR 2
This year, we may not be celebrating with family and friends because of the pandemic. However, we can still show everyone we are excited for the new, and hopefully better, year with these New Years insert cards!
I designed these to be made on my Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore Air 2. When you have finished the tutorial, you will have a gorgeous card that looks like you made it on a Cricut Joy.

Instructions
STEP 1 - DOWNLOAD THE SVG CUT FILE
Download the SVG Cut file for the New Years Insert Card (#56) from The File Vault. Get access by joining the club.
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.
Everything has been set for you. All you need to do once the design has been imported into Design Space is click the green MAKE IT button.
STEP 3 - 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.
For this tutorial, I am using a combination of Cricut Cardstock and glitter cardstock. Select your materials accordingly.
Attach your cardstock to the Cricut StandardGrip Mat.
STEP 4 - 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.
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.
Repeat Step 4 until all layers have been cut.
STEP 5 - ASSEMBLE YOUR CARD
Now that all layers have been cut, you can assemble this cute card.
Begin by folding along the score line of the outer card layer.
Press the fold with your scraper.
Now, carefully insert the glitter cardstock layer into the tabs in 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 I do for all my insert cards but is totally optional.
Your card is done.
To make the envelope, fold along the score lines.
Add adhesive to the inner tabs and press closed.
Your card is ready to add a New Year's message and send to family and friends!
I am sure anyone who receives this card will smile.
