Cricut: How to Make a Birthday Card

Leave a review
Level
Beginner
Time
1 hour
Budget
<10

It’s always handy to have a supply of Birthday cards, and these joyful designs are sure to spread sunshine.

Plus they’re super-easy and quick to create with the speedy Cricut Explore 4. All you need is your Cricut machine (we’ve used the Cricut Explore™ 4, however this project can also be made on the Cricut Maker™ 4), the Cricut scoring stylus, some bright cardstock and glue or double-sided tape.

Use bright, contrasting coloured cardstock for maximum impact!

Please note: This project contains paid-for content from Cricut's Design Space™ app. Screen reference images are taken from the desktop version of Design Space.
