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!
