Instructions

STEP 1 - DOWNLOAD THE SVG CUT FILE

Download the SVG Cut file for the Pride Insert Cards (#82) from The File Vault. Get access by joining the club.

Note: Within the download, you will find two versions of this card. One for two men (Gay) and one for two women (Lesbian). For this tutorial, I will be showing you how to make the Lesbian version.

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 - UNGROUP YOUR DESIGN

Now that you have uploaded the design, click UNGROUP.

STEP 4 - FLATTEN THE PRINT THEN CUT LAYER

The insert on this card is designed to be a print then cut image.

If you prefer to create a layered insert, you can skip this step and cut all the pieces out to form a layered Pride Flag.

To convert this, highlight the group.

Next, select FLATTEN in the lower right corner of the LAYERS panel. You will notice the layer has changed to "Print then Cut"

Now, click the green MAKE IT button.

STEP 5 - PRINT THE PRIDE FLAG LAYER

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

Press SEND TO PRINTER.

Make sure to have the BLEED on and select PRINT.

STEP 6 - MAKE YOUR MATERIAL SELECTIONS AND PREPARE YOUR MATS

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

Make sure to change your pressure setting to MORE.

STEP 7 - 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.

STEP 8 - ASSEMBLE YOUR CARD

Now that everything has been cut out, is time to assemble this card.

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

Press the fold with your scraper.

Place the Pride Flag insert into the slits on the outer card.

Add glue or adhesive to any parts that don't want to lay flat.

Your card is done!

STEP 9 - ASSEMBLE THE ENVELOPE

Fold along the score lines of the envelope.

Press the folds with your scraper.

Add glue or adhesive to the side flaps.

Bring the bottom flap up to form the envelope.

Your card is ready to add a sentiment!
