Instructions

STEP 1 - DOWNLOAD THE SVG CUT FILE

Download the SVG Cut File for the Layered Flowers in Vase (#168) from The File Library. 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 - RESIZE DESIGN (OPTIONAL)

I have sized the project to be as large as possible on a 12x12 cutting mat. If you would like to resize the project to fit your needs, follow the directions below.

Using the sizing bar, resize the design to your liking. Make sure to leave the proportions locked.

Click the GREEN Make It button.

STEP 4 - MAKE YOUR MATERIAL SELECTIONS AND PREPARE YOUR MATS

You will see the layers for this project in the mat preview.

Click the CONTINUE button.

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

Attach your cardstock to the Cricut StandardGrip Mat using the Cricut Brayer.

STEP 5 - 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.

You will know the machine is ready to cut your material when you see the flashing "C" button. Press that to start the cut.

Follow Design Space prompts to change out the mats.

Once the cut is complete, make sure to peel the mat away from the cardstock rather than the cardstock from the mat. This will prevent any curling of your design.

Repeat Step 5 for until all layers have been cut.

STEP 6 - ASSEMBLE YOUR PAPER CRAFT

Now that everything is cut, we can start to assemble the project

Begin by gluing the tulip flowers to the largest green layer.

Next, layer the red and orange flowers together then attach to the second largest green layer.

Repeat this for the rest of the flowers and green layers.

Layer the flower pot and decorative piece.

Add foam squares to the back of the second green layer. Note: this is optional to add some more dimension to the project. You could just glue everything together.

Attach the second largest green layer to the largest one.

Repeat this for all remaining layers including the flower pot.

Your project is complete.

Extra tip: I ended up cutting out three more of the largest green layers, another set of tulips, and another flower pot and decorative piece. Then, attached the green layers to the back of the one shown, added the tulips to the back and used foam squares to attach the back flower pot.

Not only did this add more stability to the tulips so they would stand up better but this gave extra dimension that allowed the project to stand alone on a table or desk.
