Print Project

Step 1

Click here to download the ‘Oh Christmas Treats’ design file.

Step 2

Upload the ‘Oh Christmas Treats’ design file into Cricut® Design Space™ and insert the file into a new canvas.

Step 3

Ungroup the entire ‘Oh Christmas Treats’ file, then weld ‘Oh Christmas’ together and weld ‘Treats’ together.

Step 4

Place the white vinyl (shiny side up) on your cutting mat and press ‘Make It’. Your machine will cut the ‘Oh Christmas’ first. Once it’s cut, take the white vinyl off your mat and set aside. Place the red vinyl (shiny side up) on the mat and cut the word “Treats’.

Step 5

Use your weeding tool and weed the vinyl away from your cut words.
TIP: Go slow so you don’t peel the actual letters.

Step 6

Take the backing off a sheet of transfer tape and place it over your cut-out words. Use the scraper tool and run it over your design to ensure the letters stick to the transfer tape.

Step 7

Unpeel the transfer tape (with the vinyl adhered to it) from the vinyl backing.
TIP: Fold the transfer tape about from the backing at an angle and go slow. If you fail to pick up a letter, place the tape back down and run the scraper over it again before you continue to unpeel.

Step 8

Hoover the transfer tape (with the vinyl words) over your wooden box until like placement, then press to the box. Run your fingers over the vinyl and press the word down into the box. Slowly take off the transfer tape, leaving the vinyl word on the box.
TIP: Start with the word ‘TREATS’ first.

Step 9

Fill with the ingredients and recipe to make your favourite holiday treats and share!
