I love a printable project, it makes it so simple and easy to make a unique project. This is especially helpful if you don’t have all the paper colors needed to complete an item, just flatten, then print then cut.
Items needed for this project:
- white cardstock
- hole punch (I used a crop-o-dile big bite)
- string to tie valentines
- Cricut explore series machine or Cricut maker
- Cricut design space
- Project link
Open project link
I provided the link to the project above, open the project to get started. This project is so easy to customize. Once open, click customize and project will open. I click on one of the cards and a box will appear around it to show it is selected.
To unflatten and edit
Then, at the bottom of the layers panel click unflatten, this will allow you to change the name in the text. Now, double click on the name to edit, this will open a box and allow you to change the name. To complete, drag a box around the whole card that was edited and click the flatten option at the bottom of the layers panel. Repeat this process until all Valentines have the name you desire.
Print then cut
At the top right corner, click make it to print then cut your cards. I usually click each layer and print all my images at once, then go back and select each layer to cut. I find that this saves me time, this way I don’t have to stop each time I cut one page then have to wait to print to continue cutting. Follow the prompts to select your machine, print, then cut on machine using card stock setting. Repeat until all cards are cut.
Completing Valentines
After all the cards are cut, I used the crop-a-dile big bite to punch the holes in each card, then tied each one with string to secure around the treat bag. I love how easily these come together, it’s so simple yet adorable way to make customized Valentines that any child would love to receive. The cricut machine makes it so easy to make something extra special with all the new content that is included in Cricut access, since there is new content added all the time there is something for everyone.
