Instructions
Begin by turning on your Cricut machine.
Next, locate the machine’s A clasp and open it.
Place Cricut marker into the A clasp (tip down) and push until it clicks into place. Then, close the A clasp.
Next, place the cardstock carefully and evenly on a cutting mat.
Open Cricut workspace and click on “New Project”.
Click “Upload” on the bottom left hand side and select “Upload Image.” Find the provided SVG file that you downloaded onto your computer.
Find the “Upload” button in the lower right corner.
Next, click on the uploaded image and select “Insert Image”. The image should now be uploaded to your design space.
On the right-hand side, there will be a list of components that make up the image. Click on the list labeled “Baby1styr SVG”
Press the “Weld” button. From here, look for the “Operation” button on the top left. Click the arrow to drop down the menu and click “Draw.”
Select “Make It.”
On the screen find the drop down menu labeled “Material Size.” Select the size of the cardstock, and line up the design.
If you run into trouble lining up your design, connect your phone to your Cricut (via Bluetooth) and use the “Snap Mat” feature. It allows you to see your paper on the mat and line up your design.
Finally, click “Continue” and follow the on-screen prompts to draw and cut your design.
Place your creation and pictures in your 8×10 frame.
