Cricut projects

Here are my most recent makes. All the projects are either 100% free to cut without a Cricut Access subscription or in most cases you can delete any Cricut images and substitute your own. 

Don't forget to bookmark them in Design Space so you don't have to go looking for them later! If you give my profile a follow you'll get a notification whenever I share a new project. My profile: https://design-beta.cricut.com/landing/profile/58036a2fe9a2b71b2b6be4d8

Cricut product launch - 2x2 Card mat and new card sizes

Those of you with the Cricut Joy will be familiar with the Cricut Card mat. Since that was launched Cricut were inundated with requests for a similar product for the Explore and Maker range of machines.

Cricut listened and today have launched the 2x2 Cricut Card mat!


(For those of you who purchased one from a retail store earlier than they were supposed to be sold - functionality to use the new mats will be added to Design Space later today!)

(This post contains affiliate links, and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links. This is at no extra cost to you.)

You can now multiply your card making by cutting up to four cards at once! You can purchase the new mats here.

2x2 card mat pack of one: Currently unavailable @ 30/6/22
2x2 card mat pack of five: https://cricut.pxf.io/AoVgRa

Don't forget to use my promo code CEMM22 to save 10% on materials/accessories purchases over $50.

Along with the new 2x2 card mat Cricut have also launched a new range of card sizes in both Insert Cards and Cutaway cards. They have created a new sizing system (R = rectangle S = square) and now have 5 sizes for you to choose from:

R10 - 3.5 in x 4.9 in (8.9 cm x 12.4 cm)
R20 - 4.25 in x 5.5 in (10.8 cm x 14 cm)
R30 - 4.5 in x 6.25 in (11.4 cm x 15.9 cm)
R40 - 4.75 in x 6.6 in (12.1 cm x 16.8 cm)
S40 - 4.75 in x 4.75 in (12.1 cm x 12.1 cm)
Along with new card sizes they have also added new pack sizes. Now you can purchase some of their most popular cards in packs of up to 42 cards! Here's just a sample of the new packs.


You can see the new range of cards here:


Stay tuned for lots more info on the new 2x2 card mat. If you have any questions - feel free to head over to my Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/CricutExploreAndMore and ask in the comments on my post there. I'll be happy to help!!

CRICUT: Crazy Cute Cards project

Today's project is the Mother's Day Bouquet card from the Crazy Cute Cards cartridge.

The digital handbook for this cartridge says to set the width to 23.54 which will give you a finished card height of 7". However, if you use that measurement it won't fit on a 12x12" mat.  I changed the width to 20" which gave me a finished height of 4.75".

Here's my completed card.



After I had assembled it I played with the Design Space file and worked out that I could in fact get it to fit on a 12x12 mat using the size in the handbook if I did a little slicing and rotating.

First you need to click the Ungroup button at the bottom of the Layers panel. That will allow you to work with each layer. If you don't ungroup, Slice won't be available.

I sliced all of the sets of the flowers in half by placing a square (click the Insert Shapes button) over one half of the set, selecting both the square and the flower layer and clicking Slice.


Delete the square and the sliced copy and then the two sides of that layer can be moved individually. Design Space will automatically place them closer together on the preview screen.


Repeat for the other flower layers.

For the base layer place an 11.5" square on the mat and move it over the base layer. You can select the square and click Arrange, Send to Back so that you can see the base layer.

Use the rotate handle on the base layer and turn it so it fits diagonally inside the square.


Select the base layer and the square and click Attach



Lastly, go to the Layers panel and click the eye to hide the square.


Now when you click Go, all the layers will fit on 12x12 mats.  ☺



Here's the finished DS file if you want to see it. ☺
