CRICUT INSTRUCTIONS
************************************************************
Using a Cricut Explore or Maker? Here's exactly what to do:
~~~~~~~~✨🎓✨~~~~~~~~
Part 1: HOW TO DOWNLOAD
~~~~~~~~✨🎓✨~~~~~~~~
1. Add the Graduation Box Cards SVG Kit to your Cart: svgcuts.me/grad-cards
2. Use code THANKYOU40 for 40% off one order (not valid on gift certificates, expires 5/31/24)
3. Proceed through Checkout.
4. Download your item/s.
~~~~~~~✨🎓✨~~~~~~~
Part 2: HOW TO UNZIP
~~~~~~~✨🎓✨~~~~~~~
To unzip a file using a Windows computer, you can:
1. Open My Computer (click Start and then click My Computer).
2. Then locate the compressed (“zipped”) folder.
3. Right-click the compressed folder.
4. Click Extract All.
5. In the Compressed Folders Extraction Wizard, specify where you want to store the extracted files.
To unzip a file on a Mac computer, you can simply double-click on it.
The original compressed file can be deleted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~✨🎓✨~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part 3: FOLDER CONTENTS EXPLAINED
~~~~~~~~~~~~~✨🎓✨~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your unzipped folder contains three things:
1. An image of the finished designs for reference.
2. A folder of SVG files - Note: Opening the SVG files directly by double-clicking may not work. We'll be using Cricut Design Space to open them. Also, some computers may display SVG files as HTML files, but rest assured, they are indeed SVG files.
3. A printable PDF “Menu” which provides shape references, diagrams, and valuable tips. You can print it or view it on your computer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~✨🎓✨~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part 4: HOW TO UPLOAD TO CRICUT
~~~~~~~~~~~~✨🎓✨~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next, you'll upload one of the card designs to Cricut Design Space.
For this example, we'll use the Mortar Board Box Card.
1. Open Cricut Design Space
2. Click "New Project."
3. Select "Upload" from the menu.
4. Choose "Upload Image."
5. Click "Browse" and navigate to the file:
Graduation Box Cards SVGCuts
SVG Files
Mortar Board Box Card
Extras

6. Click "Upload."
7. Select the uploaded image and click "Add to Canvas."
8. Click "Ungroup."
9. Click in an empty area of the mat to deselect.
~~~~~~~~~✨🎓✨~~~~~~~~~
Part 5: YOU MUST "ATTACH"
~~~~~~~~~✨🎓✨~~~~~~~~~
Next, you'll need to ensure certain parts stay together. Although they may appear grouped, they still need to be Attached. If they aren't Attached, the software will treat them as separate elements on different mats.
To attach the parts, select both layers of the one "group" and click the "Attach" button.
This keeps the card's score lines with their shapes.
~~~~~~~✨🎓✨~~~~~~~
Part 6: LET'S MAKE IT
~~~~~~~✨🎓✨~~~~~~~
Click the "Make It" button to proceed to the cutting phase in Cricut Design Space. Continue as you normally would to use the software with your cutting machine. Happy dance! Your pieces are now cut out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~✨🎓✨~~~~~~~~~~~
