First, click here for the design in Cricut® Design Space™.
TIP: Hide (or delete) the translated version you do not need.

Size the design as you would like it to appear on your wood plaque.

Click ‘Make It’ in the upper right corner of your screen.

In your preview screen, check ‘Mirror’ in the left panel for each mat layer to reverse your image.

Now, click ‘Continue’ in the bottom right corner of your screen and choose the correct material.

Place the iron-on material for the first layer, shiny-side down, onto your cutting mat. Load the mat into your Cricut® machine, then press the blinking Cricut® icon to start cutting.

Repeat Step 6 with remaining layers.
TIP: When cutting with multiple material types, such as matte, glitter and/or foil, be sure to watch the preview panel so update the material type so your machine knows how to cut each layer.

Use scissors to cut the design from each iron-on material roll. Next, use your weeder tool to remove all the excess material around and inside your design. You’ll be left with just the reversed design on the clear plastic carrier sheets, which are slightly sticky.

Preheat your EasyPress™ to the appropriate temperature for your material and, if needed, adjust the timer.
TIP: See the Quick Reference Guide, included with your EasyPress™, for temperature and times or click here an interactive guide. You can also use an iron to press your material. Just follow the instructions included in the iron-on material packaging.

Place your wood plaque on top of your EasyPress™ mat and then preheat the wood for 5 seconds.

Place the carrier sheet with the first layer of your design, so it’s sticky-side down, onto your wood plaque. You should be able to see the layer through the carrier sheet, just as it will appear once ironed.
TIP: Press one stripe at a time and use heat resistant tape to help hold to your wood plaque while pressing. You can space the stripes so there is a small white gap in between them or press them so they are flush with no gap.

Place your EasyPress™ on top of the design, apply the appropriate pressure for your material and press the time button. Once it beeps, flip over your wood plaque and press for another 15 seconds. If your material is the warm peel type, you may go ahead and peel off the carrier sheet. If your material is a cool peel type, let it cool completely before removing the carrier sheet.

Repeat Steps 11-12 for the remaining layers of your design.
