How to Make Giant Easter Layered Cards

LEARN TO MAKE FUN GIANT EASTER LAYERED CARDS ON YOUR CRICUT CUTTING MACHINE
I love a fun graphic card.
This giant Easter card is not giant in size but the sentiment on the front is big and bold!
A great way to use up your scraps, too!
In this tutorial, I’ll give you my step by step instructions and tell you what materials I think work best when making this project.

Instructions
STEP 1 - PURCHASE & DOWNLOAD THE SVG CUT FILE
Purchase the SVG Cut File for the Giant Easter Layered Card in my shop here.
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 and 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 this step for the card base.
Scroll down the list in the LAYERS panel and find the sentiment layer. Click the text and change to pen by changing the OPERATION from BASIC CUT to PEN.
Attach everything together by highlighting the GROUP and selecting the ATTACH option in lower right hand corner.
Click the GREEN Make It Button.
STEP 5 - MAKE YOUR MATERIAL SELECTIONS AND PREPARE YOUR MATS
Click ON THE MAT and then CONTINUE.
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, pen, 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.
First, mat and layer the front cover panel.
Next, add the giant letters to the front cover panel.
Mat and layer the messaging panel.
Fold the card base along the score line and burnish with your scraper.
Attach the messaging panel to the inside of the card.
Attach the front cover panel to the front of the card.
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 back of the inlay panel as well as around the cutout.
Place the inlay panel over the cutout on the envelope making sure to center it well.
Add glue to the bottom of the side flaps.
With the side flaps folded in, bring the bottom flap up and carefully press to form the envelope.
Your card and envelope are complete.

Hi Nick! Thanks so much for this and all the other 12 days of Easter crafts! I’m a newbie so please bear with me. Can you tell me what size you made the Easter letters? I’m trying to gauge what size scraps I should dig out. Thanks!
Love the card! Was wondering what type of glue/adhesive you are using? Like the narrow tip!!
