Need a Valentine for the guy in your life? Here it is. This gear card not only has a mechanical flair but the gears (which are built up from 6 layers) actually work! The lettering is cut out from the background so there is no careful placing required. The lettering can be removed for your own wording. It requires 8.5 x 11" card stock and fits in a standard invitation envelope (4 3/8" x 5 3/4"). Construction directions can be found at http://www.3dcuts.com/gear-cards-tutorial.

The download includes files in SVG, PDF, DXF, and PNG formats for use with either the Silhouette (DE required for SVG) or the Cricut Explore. Silhouette users without DE can use the dxf files. PDF directions for all assembly techniques and links to online tutorials are included.
