How to Make Easter Egg Insert Cards

LEARN HOW TO MAKE EASY EASTER EGG INSERT CARDS ON ANY CRICUT CUTTING MACHINE

Today, I am making a Quick & Easy Easter Egg Card on my Cricut Joy. This fun design is perfect because you can change the look of the card by using patterned paper for the insert!

As with all my insert cards, it can be made using any Cricut, or other brand, cutting machine you have! In the download, you will find two folders inside. One for Cricut Explore and Cricut Maker and one for Cricut Joy.

The Cricut Joy design is ONLY the design so it would be best to use Cricut’s Insert Card Packs available at most craft stores! The Cricut Explore and Cricut Maker design does include an envelope with a cute little gingerbread cutout on the back flap.

Note: I will be using my Cricut Joy in this tutorial and the Joy design files. For more information on how to use this design with a Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore series, please take a look at my tutorial on how to make Easter Bunny Insert Cards!

Insert your card layer into the card mat with the folded side on the left. Make sure to align at the top and side.place the insert card into the card mat

I use my Cricut Brayer at this point to give the card a good rub just to make sure it adheres well.

Place the card mat into the machine. Your machine will feed the mat into your Cricut Joy automatically and check for proper alignment.

Carefully remove the card from the mat.

Weed any portions of the card that may have not released when removing the card from the mat.

Slide the insert into the slits made on the outer card layer, securing it into place.

Your card is ready for a message, place into one of the included envelopes with the Cricut Insert Card Packs, and mail it to family and friends.

Like I said, this card is super easy to make. I hope you get a chance to make it!
