Step 1

First, click here for the small gems design and here for the large heart design in Cricut® Design Space™.
TIP: If you want to make any changes to the design, click ‘Customise’ at the bottom of the screen and it will move the design into your canvas. Use the edit tools in the tool bar and then click ‘Make It’ in the upper right corner of your screen. If you do not want to make an envelope, simply click on it along with the butterflies placed on top of it and delete.

Step 2

Click ‘Continue’ in the lower right corner of your screen.
TIP: If you want multiple cuts of your design, before you click ‘Continue’, change the quantity in the upper left corner of your screen.

Step 3

Place a piece of cardstock onto your cutting mat, select your material and load your mat into your Cricut® machine.
TIP: Follow the prompts on your screen to know when to change the housing from scorer to blade.

Step 4

Now, unload your mat and gently remove the cardstock. Remove any pieces left around or within the cutout and discard. Add your next mat layer, as indicated in the review panel on the left of your screen, re-load the mat and click the blinking icon. Repeat for each layer.

Step 5

Fold along all the scored lines and assemble with hot glue.
TIP: Align matching numbers on the large heart design and hot glue to attach.
