LEARN TO MAKE THESE ADORABLE VALENTINE’S DAY INSERT CARDS ON YOUR CRICUT CUTTING MACHINE
You know I had to show you an adorable Valentine’s Day insert card and how “beary” adorable is this one?? I love how to bear turned out and the play on words is so perfect!!
I designed this card to be made using any Cricut, or other brand, cutting machine you have! In the download, you will find two folders inside. One for Maker/Explore and one for Joy.
Note: The version for the Cricut Joy is only the design so it would be best to use Cricut’s Insert Card Packs available at most craft stores! For more information on how to use this design with a Cricut Joy, please take a look at my Cricut Joy New Years Insert Card tutorial!
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.
You can download the SVG file for this project at the bottom of this post.

Instructions
STEP 1 - DOWNLOAD THE SVG CUT FILE
Download the SVG Cut file for the I Love You Beary Much Insert Card (#63) from my FREE Resource Library. Click here to get access to the library.
Note: Within the download, you will find two versions of this card. One for the Maker/Explore and one for the Joy. For this tutorial, I will be using the Maker/Explore version. You choose based on your machine!
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.
Everything has been set for you. 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 three layers 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.
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! Follow the prompts in Design Space on when to change out the different tools.
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 card.
Begin by folding along the score line of the outer card layer.
Press the fold with your scraper.
Now, carefully place the card insert layer into the tabs in the outer card layer.
Add a small amount of glue or adhesive to any portions of the outer layer that may be curling a little. This is something I do for all my insert cards but is totally optional.
Your card is done.
I have also included an envelope file for you to use.
To make the envelope, fold along the score lines then add adhesive to the inner tabs and press closed.
One thing I love about this card is it’s versatility. It is perfect for Valentine’s Day, yes, but also any occasion throughout the year!
I just know anyone who receives this card will smile. Isn’t that what card making is all about?

LOVE your insert cards and how you can make them on the maker as well! Can you please do a tutorial teaching how to write inside the card? Would love to learn how to do that!
Heena,
Thank you so much! I am glad you like the insert cards. To answer your question, I will do a tutorial on writing on the inside of the cards soon. I have also briefly discussed this on my Facebook page in a video I did for the Clay-Pot Santa.
Stay tuned for that how to on writing! Thanks for the suggestion!
