Instructions

STEP 1 - DOWNLOAD THE SVG CUT FILE

Download the SVG Cut file for the Snow Globe Bendi Card (#107) 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 FOLD LINES TO SCORE LINES

Scroll down the list in the LAYERS panel and find the envelope. Click the fold line.

Change the fold lines to score lines by changing the OPERATION from BASIC CUT to SCORE.

Attach the score line and the envelope by highlighting the GROUP and selecting the ATTACH option in lower right hand corner.

Repeat step 4 for all remaining layers with score lines.

Click the GREEN Make It Button.

STEP 5 - MAKE YOUR MATERIAL SELECTIONS AND PREPARE YOUR MATS

You will see the ten mats for this card 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 6 - 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 scoring wheel and fine point cutting blade.

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 6 for until all layers have been cut.

STEP 7 - ASSEMBLE YOUR CARD

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

Begin by layering the snowman. Start by adding glue to the back of the white layer and adhering to the black base layer.

Next, the arms and nose.

Then, the scraf.

Now, attach the trees to two of the cover pabels.

Fold the bump out piece along the score lines and burnish the folds.

Your bump out should resemble a "V" with the two tabs in the back facing each other.

Next, fold the card base along the score line and burnish the fold with your scraper.

Set aside.

Fold the bendi piece along the score lines and burnish the folds with your scraper.

Add glue to the tabs and adhere to the card base. Make sure to line up the side and bottom edges.

Now, attach the cover panels to the inside of the card base.

Next, add glue to the tabs of the bump out.

Attach to the card base by inserting the bump out between the card base and bendi piece. Line up the bottom of the card base with the bottom of the bump out making sure the center of the bump out is centered with the score line of the card base.

When propped into place, the card should look like this.

Now, layer the snowman and the snow mound or snowflake layer. You can use just the snow mound, just the snowflake layer, or both as I have in this tutorial. Place the snowman in the center.

Add glue to the flat portion of the bump out and attach the snowman with snow mound and/or snowflakes to the bump out.

Press the card flat to make sure everything lays properly.

Add the cover panels to the back. You can also leave the back plain for your messaging or journaling.

STEP 8 - FORM THE ENVELOPE

To make the envelope, begin by folding along the score lines and press the folds with your scraper.

Add glue to the outer edge of the inlay as well as around the cutout.

Apply the inlay to the envelope.

Add glue along the bottom of the side flaps.

Bring the bottom flap up and press into place forming the envelope.

Your card is complete!
