Is there anything better than a handmade card? A quick-to-make handmade card! This card was so fast to make that I finished it and was like, “That’s it?”
To make this craft even faster, I used Smart Cardstock with my Cricut Maker 3.
I am in love with Cricut Smart Cardstock because it can be cut without using a mat, which saves so much time.
Its other advantage is that it has an adhesive backing, eliminating the need for glue. I still used glue for the white part because I don’t have white smart cardstock yet.
If you don’t have a Cricut Maker 3, you can still use Smart Cardstock, but it must be used with a mat. It’s a bit longer than standard cardstock, so it may need to be trimmed.
My only complaints are the price and that I wish it were sold open stock (not in a package because I’m never going to use orange.) But I would love to buy multiple sheets in some of the other colors. I wish they had more colors as well. The more colors, the better!
Other than that, it’s a game-changer for paper crafting.
How to Make a Valentine’s Day Card with Cricut
Supplies Needed:
- Smart Cardstock (I used pink and lavender from the pastel set and red from the bright set.)
- White cardstock
- Card (I made my own with pink cardstock)
- Glue
- Cricut (I used my Cricut Maker 3)
- SVG (the link is at the bottom of this post)
By the way, the envelope was made from scrapbook paper. I have a post on making envelopes with Cricut here.
- Upload the design. Be sure to attach the elements in different colors.
- Cut the design as usual, changing colors as directed in Cricut Design Space.
- Make your card if needed. I have a post on making your own cards here.
- Slowly peel the red rectangle from the backing and apply it to the center of the stamp shape.
- Do the same for the pink heart.
The center of the R will need to be manually placed. I used the pick tool to help me get it in place.
- Apply the 25¢ to the top corner. Extra care needs to be taken since it’s small.
- When everything is in place, firmly press everything down to ensure it’s adhered.
- Glue the stamp part to the center of the card.
- Let dry and enjoy.
