HOW TO MAKE A CRICUT JOY CARD WITH AN SVG

HOW TO MAKE A CRICUT JOY CARD WITH AN SVG

Have you tried making an insert card with your Cricut Joy? It’s SO EASY! The Joy Card Mat is one of my favorite Cricut inventions. It’s completely changed the homemade card game for me. I wanted to try my hand at making my own insert card designs, so I created a fun birthday card SVG. Today, I’m teaching you how to make a Cricut Joy Card with an SVG so you can use that free design.

HOW TO USE AN SVG WITH THE CRICUT JOY TO MAKE AN INSERT CARD

HOW TO MAKE A CRICUT JOY CARD WITH AN SVG

I created an SVG file specifically designed to work the insert card designs in Design Space. These designs all incorporate corner notches, so you can slip the insert into the notches to create a background for the design that’s been cut out of the cardstock. This is how you use that SVG with your Cricut Joy machine.

Make a Cricut Insert Card Using the Cricut Joy and an SVG

  1. Upload the SVG into Design Space and place it into a canvas.

    You can do this in the desktop version of DS or in the DS app.HOW TO MAKE A CRICUT JOY CARD WITH AN SVG

  2. Attach all the elements of the design so it cuts as a single design.

  3. Send the design to cut. Choose the Card Mat option.

  4. Make sure the design is in the top left corner of the cutting area.

    For some reason the Design Space app defaults to the larger insert card size and you can’t change it. To make sure your design cuts properly on the smaller size card, you will need to make sure the design sits as far to the left and top of the cutting area as possible. This is the default location, but it’s always good to double check before cutting.HOW TO MAKE A CRICUT JOY CARD WITH AN SVG

  5. Choose the correct material from the materials list.

    There is a specific setting for Cricut Insert Cards, if that is what you are using.HOW TO MAKE A CRICUT JOY CARD WITH AN SVG

  6. Place the card onto the Cricut Joy Card Mat making sure all the edges are properly aligned.

  7. Load the mat into the Cricut Joy and tap the Go button.

  8. Unload the mat, carefully remove the card from the mat, weed the design, and add the insert card.
