• Connect the Cricut Explore™ to your computer, log on to your Design Space™ account. Select ‘cards’ from the categories menu and locate the ‘Wish You a Merry Christmas Card’ project.
• The project makes a card measuring 8.25 “x 4.25”. To create the project as designed, click ‘Make it Now’. To resize the project, click ‘customise’.
• Resize the images as required by first highlighting the image and then dragging the corner point. The size appears in a black text box as the image is altered.
• Score and cut the card and insert from your chosen cardstock, inserting the scoring stylus into the accessories port of the dual Cut Smart system when prompted.
• Carefully remove the cut images from the cutting mat using the spatula; this will minimise the damage to the image and mat.
• Fold the card along the scored line. Glue the insert to the inside of the card front.
