Instructions

STEP 1 - DOWNLOAD THE SVG CUT FILE

Download the SVG Cut file for the Get Well Pop Up Card (#23) 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.

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 - CONVERT CUT LINES TO DRAW LINES

I am wanting my Cricut to draw the "Get Well Soon" onto my cardstock. To do this, first scroll down the list in the LAYERS panel and find the emblem. Click the text line.

Change the text to draw by changing the LINE TYPE from CUT to DRAW.

Attach the text and the emblem by highlighting the GROUP.

Select the ATTACH option in lower right hand corner.

STEP 5 - CONVERT FOLD LINES TO SCORE LINES ON FLOWER POT

Scroll down the list in the LAYERS panel and find the purple flower pot layers. Click the fold lines on the rectangular piece.

Change the fold lines to score lines by changing the LINE TYPE from CUT to SCORE.

Attach the score lines and flower pot layer by highlighting the GROUP.

Select the ATTACH option in lower right hand corner.

Repeat for the second piece of the flower pot.

STEP 6 - CONVERT FOLD LINES TO SCORE LINES ON FLOWER INSERTS

Scroll down the list in the LAYERS panel and find the first of the three flower insert layers. Click the vertical fold lines.

Change the fold lines to score lines by changing the LINE TYPE from CUT to SCORE.

Attach the score lines and flower inserts by highlighting the GROUP.

Select the ATTACH option in lower right hand corner.

Repeat for the remaining two flower insert layers.

STEP 7 - UPLOAD THE PRINT THEN CUT FILES INTO DESIGN SPACE

Follow step 2 to upload the print then cut jpeg files into design space.

After uploading the file, select COMPLEX.

Click the green CONTINUE button.

Zoom out and select the wand in the upper left hand corner.

Click the black background on the image.

The black color will erase. Click CONTINUE.

You want to save this file as a PRINT THEN CUT image.

Click SAVE.

Repeat this step for the two remaining print then cut flower images.

STEP 8 - ATTACH AND FLATTEN PRINT THEN CUT IMAGES

Select one of the jpeg images you just imported by highlighting it.

Then click INSERT IMAGE.

Resize the jpeg to the appropriate width. For the flowers, the sizing is as follows.

-Flowers1 jpeg - 3.186 inches

-Flowers2 jpeg- Smaller: 2.831 inches, Larger: 3.761 inches

-Flowers3 jpeg - 3.263 inches

Drag the jpeg over the matching white cut layer.

Highlight both layers.

Select FLATTEN on the lower right hand corner

Repeat for the remaining two layers.

For the flowers2 jpeg, you will need to SLICE the two flower bundles. To do this, first create a square and resize to cover the bottom flower bundle.

Highlight both layers.

Select SLICE on the lower right hand corner.

Delete the extra layers from the slice leaving the now separated flower bundle.

Once all three flower insert layers are complete, click the green MAKE IT button.

STEP 9 - MAKE YOUR MATERIAL SELECTIONS AND PREPARE YOUR MATS

For this tutorial, I am using Cricut Sticker Paper for the Print then Cut images. This is totally optional but I like how easy it is to use sticker paper for small cuts like this.

You will see the PRINT THEN CUT mat appear. Click CONTINUE.

Click SEND TO PRINTER.

Make sure you have ADD BLEED selected. Click PRINT.

Once printed, you can continue with your material selections and prepare your mats accordingly.

STEP 10 - LOADING YOUR MATS AND CUTTING YOUR MATERIALS

Attach your cardstock to the Cricut StandardGrip Mat.

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 cutting out your card!

Follow the instructions in Design Space to switch out the scoring wheel for the cutting blade. Once the cut is complete, the double arrows will flash again. Press it and the mat will unload.

When removing the card, peel your mat away from the card rather than peeling your card away from the mat. This will help prevent curling.

Repeat Step 10 until all layers are cut.

STEP 11 - ASSEMBLE YOUR CARD

Start by gluing the Get Well Soon emblem to the flower vase.

Repeat for the back fo the vase. This is the area you will personalize your card!

Fold along the score lines of the flower inserts and press with your Cricut Scraper.

Attach the print then cut image to the insert.

Repeat for the remaining flower inserts.

Now, fold along the score lines of the flower vase sides and press with your Cricut Scraper.

Add glue along the folded tab.

Attach to the flower vase making sure the tabs are folded inward.

Repeat for the other side and do the same thing for the second piece.

Once you have your flower vase glued, gently press to make sure it folds flat.

Now, glue the flower inserts to the pot. Add glue to the tabs.

Line up the bottom of the insert and press the tabs against the side of the flower vase.

Press gently to make sure your card folds flat.

Repeat for the remaining two flower inserts.

Add the smallest flower bundle to the front of the vase.

You are all set! The card is ready for you to personalize!
