Next, Shqipe glues the two “butterfly” pieces together.Īnd then carefully folds and assembles the gift box. Here is the gift tag with the word “thanks” perfectly centered on the card stock. Once all the pieces are cut and folded, Shqipe glues them together using Martha Stewart Crafts glue adhesive. In just a few minutes, the die cuts are removed and ready to assemble.

One more piece of card stock is inserted into the Cricut machine to make a three-dimensional butterfly cutout for the gift box.

Here are the finished pieces – a lid for the box and a tag with a hole cut out for the ribbon. These scalloped edges are so pretty – and all made with the Cricut. Once again, Shqipe uses the spatula to remove the card stock. The Cricut writes just as precisely as it cuts. This will be the tag and lid for the gift box. Here, Shqipe gently lifts up the card stock from the mat – it is so easy.Īnother piece is loaded into the Cricut. Be sure there is also some space behind the Cricut, so the card stock has room to feed through the machine properly.Īfter the Cricut has finished cutting, and the mat and material has been ejected, the die cuts can easily be removed using the spatula tool. You can watch it make all the precise lines and cuts. Shqipe presses the “on” button, then the “loading” button, and then “c” to start cutting. The button panel to the right is well labeled for each step of the cutting process. Shqipe lines up the card stock to the adhesive lined mat.Īnd then places it into the loader for the machine. Your design is chosen on the computer using the Cricut Design Space™ software and app. This is the multi-purpose mat which will hold the material firmly in place during the cutting process.

This pen will mark any areas that need folding. It comes with a Cricut 12-inch by 12-inch LightGrip cutting mat, tweezers, weeder, spatula, scissors and scraper, accessory adapter, power cord, plus more than 100 free images and project ideas. This Special Edition Martha Stewart Cricut comes in a pretty pearl color with all the essential tools you need to make so many wonderful projects.
