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

This project is based on a Facebook reel I found here: https://www.facebook.com/reel/824496539749266

I used Snowy White cardstock (E2-283) from the 12x12 Cardstock Encore line. If you purchase from there don't forget to use my promo code MAKER10 to save 10% on cardstock and paper.  

The gold Holographic cardstock is from Peninsula Crafts (Australia).  12x12 Cardstock shop also has several beautiful holographic papers. 

Finished size is approx L4.5" x W3" x H3".

I found this 14 year old project on a blog called Amazing Paper Grace.
Here's the link to my DS project: https://design-beta.cricut.com/landing/project-detail/66c97f33f829f513d3725db3

You'll find two options for the front Butterfly panel. One horizontal and one vertical. Just hide whichever one you don't want to cut. Finished size is 5x7".

Pillar card


This is an "Ultimate Pillar card" inspired by a video by Mitosu Crafts. 


Finished size is H6" x W7.5". It folds flat to H6" x W8.75". If you want to make it smaller stack all the layers on top of each other, Select All and Center. Then change the height to what you want the finished height to be. (Make sure you leave the lock closed when adjusting the size).

This one requires a Cricut Access subscription to cut for free. You can remove the Happy Birthday sentiment but the butterfly is sliced from the white rectangle so can't be removed.

Cricut Images used in my card:

I created a small offset for the dark green layer of foliage, changed it to the same green, then flattened the light green layer on to it for print then cut. It was too small otherwise to cut cleanly.
