I spent today in the craft room and here's one of my projects.

This is the Wallet gift card holder from Crazy Cute Cards cartridge.

I used Cricut Faux leather in Charcoal for the outside and Stampin' Up double sided paper for the inside.

Happy crafting!  ♥

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. ☺

Crazy Cute Cards Cartridge sizing chart

A week or so ago Cricut released a new digital cartridge for Cricut Access members. The handbook has now been added at the Cricut site. There are some assembly instructions for each card there along with the size you should set the width to create a card that fits on the 12 x 12 cutting mat.

I've put together a chart that lists all the cards along with their image code and the width measurement.

You will find that chart in my Facebook group Cricut Explore and More

Here's a sneak peek!

CRICUT: Crazy Cute Cards cartridge

Cricut have released a new digital cartridge called Crazy Cute Cards.

(**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking through my links.)

It's currently available exclusively in Design Space to Cricut Access subscribers only. So if you're not a subscriber you won't be able to see the images.

(There are about six of the images in the Make it Now projects though.)

Here's a preview of all the cards.

Maybe this will convince you to subscribe!  Here's the link to the Cricut Access page at Cricut. There are monthly and yearly options available.

I've made the Koala baby shower card and the Donut card so far.

Here's the Koala card. The baby Koala has space to write on and slips into the pouch.

And the mother Koala's arms close. ♥

I'm waiting to hear when the digital handbook will be available. Currently you have to guesstimate the size. And how to assemble the cards. I'll update when I find out more. ☺
