Custom Party Favors with the Cricut Maker

Already have a Cricut Maker machine? On July 11th HSN will premiere a Scoring Wheel bundle and a Knife Blade bundle for those of us who already have a machine and are ready to take the next step in our creativity. I used the embossed foil papers and metallic gold leather to create these party favors, and I am loving the results! Custom leather initials and custom box sizes and shapes?

HOW TO MAKE CUSTOM PARTY FAVORS WITH THE CRICUT MAKER:

1. Select “customize” when you open the project in Design Space, This will allow you to change the size of the box and select the initials you want to use.

2. Hide the initials by clicking on the eye next to the images in the box. This will allow you to cut multiple boxes.

3. Lay your embossed paper face down on the light grip mat and select mirror image in the mat screen.

4. Insert Single Scoring Wheel (it has 01 on the tip) and follow the instructions on the screen.

5. Once the Maker is done scoring, you will be prompted to switch out the Scoring Wheel with the Fine Point Blade.

6. Once you’ve switched out the blade, complete the cutting process, then repeat for as many boxes as you need.

7. When you are ready to begin cutting your initials, replace the Fine Point Blade with the Knife Blade.

8. Hide the box image in Design Space and unhide the initials, then change them if desired.

9. Place the leather shiny side down on the Strong Grip mat and select mirror image in the mat screen. NOTE – you MUST cut one inch off of the leather so it will fit under the star rollers.

10. Select 4-5 oz Tooling Leather as your material in Design Space (the setting for Metallic Leather currently still defaults to the deep cut blade).

11. Cut the letters and remove them from the mat.

12. Fold the box edges in at the score marks.

12. Thread ribbon through the holes in the box and pull taut – that will close the box.

13. Tie the ribbon in a knot, then thread the ribbon through the leather letter and tie in a bow.

I hope you’ll join us on July 11th on HSN for a day filled with gorgeous projects, great deals, and tons of fun! I’ll be taking over Cricut’s Instagram Stories to show you what it’s like behind the scenes as we get ready for the big launch – come hang out with me and get in on the fun!

WHY DO I NEED THE CRICUT KNIFE BLADE AND SCORING WHEEL?

If you already own the Cricut Maker you know that the creative possibilities are endless. From the thousands of images available in Design Space to the hundreds of different materials it can cut, your imagination is the only limitation. Now with the Knife Blade you can add even more materials – including thick chipboard, balsa wood and mat board. Think of the project possibilities!

The Scoring Wheel gives you extra deep, clear scores on a variety of materials so you can create everything from custom gift boxes to three dimensional art. It will take your paper crafting to a whole new level!
