Rose Cards for Valentine’s Day
LEARN HOW TO MAKE THESE PRETTY FLOWER CARDS FOR VALENTINE'S DAY USING YOUR CRICUT
I am back with another card tutorial for you. Today, I want to share with you my Rose Cards for Valentine's Day.
This card was fun to design. I used foam squares to add some dimension to the card and added an extra pop of pink to the front. Use some glitter cardstock for some extra sparkle!
I love the sentiment as well. “Love is like a flower. It grows into something beautiful.” So sweet and true.
I have included an envelope file to go along with the card. Also, if you don’t have a cutting machine, you can still make this card! I have added a PDF version that you can just print off on your home printer!
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 - DOWNLOAD THE SVG CUT FILE
Download the SVG Cut file for the Like a Flower Card (#61) 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.
All you need to do once the design has been imported into Design Space is click the green MAKE IT button.
STEP 3 - MAKE YOUR MATERIAL SELECTIONS AND PREPARE YOUR MATS
You will see the five layers for this card in the mat preview. Click the CONTINUE button.
For this tutorial, I am using a combination of medium cardstock and glitter cardstock. The choice is up to you but select your materials accordingly.
Attach your cardstock to the Cricut StandardGrip Mat.
STEP 4 - 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.
Hit the "C" button once it begins to flash and you are on your way to creating your card!
Repeat Step 4 until all layers have been cut.
STEP 5 - ASSEMBLE YOUR CARD
Now that all layers have been cut, you can assemble this Valentine's Day card.
Start by adding a thin line of glue to the back of the trim (white) layer of the rose.
Apply on top of the red layer.
Gently fold along the score line of the outer card layer.
Press with your Cricut Scraper to ensure a nice crisp fold line.
If you are using the optional band for the outside of your card, add adhesive to the diagonal portion of the outer layer.
Note: If you choose to leave it white, you can skip this step.
Add the band to that diagonal portion.
Open the card up and add glue/adhesive to the edge of the cutout and the diagonal portion.
Apply your cardstock to the inside of the card.
Note: If you choose to use glitter cardstock, make sure the glitter side is facing down.
Add adhesive to the backside of the sentiment layer.
Apply to the right side of the card, centering it.
For a 3D look, add foam squares to the back of the rose. You can also just add glue or adhesive.
Center the rose on the diagonal portion and press into place.
Your card is ready!
There is an available envelope file in your file download to go along with this card, too!
This card is so pretty and is loaded with pink and red fun. I hope you get a chance to make this one!
