If you’re looking for a way to create custom crafts with your Cricut machine, cardstock is the perfect material for the job. Cardstock is a stiff paper that can be used for everything from scrapbooking to card making. It comes in a variety of colors, patterns and textures, so you can create unique projects that are sure to impress.
Using cardstock in your Cricut projects is easy. First, choose the design you want to cut from the Cricut Design Space software.
Once you have your design selected, make sure your cardstock is compatible with your machine by checking the material type settings in the software. After selecting the correct settings, load your cardstock onto the mat and press “Go” on your machine.
Once you have finished cutting out your design, it’s time to assemble it. Use a strong adhesive such as double-sided tape or glue dots to attach all of the pieces together. You can also use decorative washi tape or ribbon to add accents or texture to your project.
Another great way to use cardstock in Cricut projects is by embossing it. Using an embossing folder and cutting mat, you can easily add intricate designs and patterns to your cardstock. To use an embossing folder in a Cricut project, first select “Emboss” from the material type settings in Design Space then load up your cutting mat with cardstock and press “Go” on the machine.
