Peace Everywhere Card Tutorial

Project Description: 

Peace Everywhere - what a wonderful sentiment. This card works as a Christmas Card but could also be sent at other times as needed.

The card parts can all fit on 8.5 x 11” card stock. The envelope requires 12 x 12”.

Steps for beginning the Peace Everywhere card:

Special Note: I update the instructions online. Check here for adjustments and additional information. Don't just rely on the pdf file that comes with the download.

1. Download the cutting files for your cutting machine from the 3dcuts.com store at https://3dcuts.com/christmas-projects/peace-everywhere-card

2. Load the files into your cutting software following the steps for your cutting machine.

3. Prepare the files:.

• For the Silhouette: The SVG files from this site will need to be turned into cutting files. Click here for detailed steps on how to use SVG files on your Silhouette. http://www.3dcuts.com/tutorial-upload-svg-silhouette

• For Cricut Explore: Here is a guide for importing into Cricut Design Space. http://www.3dcuts.com/tutorial-adding-3dcuts-files-to-cricut

• For Brother ScanNCut: The svg files will need to be transferred to files for your particular machine. You can change SVG files to FCM files at http://www.canvasworkspace.com/ or Google "How to import SVG files into a ScanNCut" for links to tutorials.

4.  Cut the files.

• All pieces are cut from card stock. I used Recollections card stock from Michaels.

• I cut using a premium blade. I set my Silhouette to blade depth of 4, speed of 4 and thickness of 30. I also use a good mat that is still sticky. I like the Nicapa mat. Blade settings vary for every blade.

• The PEACE is fine cuts. I do not use the auto blade on fine cuts.
