Cricut Birthday Gift Box That Feels Extra Special – The Crafty Blog Stalker

Cricut Design Space

For the following steps, I’ll be using Cricut Design Space.

If you use Silhouette Studio or a different design software, your steps may be different than mine.

To start, upload the SVG into Cricut Design Space and add it to your Canvas.

The design is sized as large as can fit on a 12×12-inch sheet of cardstock. You can resize the project to make it smaller.

However, some pieces are already cut pretty small, so I don’t recommend going that much smaller.

Highlight the entire design and ungroup.

When designing outside of Cricut Design Space, we cannot assign line functions for scoring, so we must make this adjustment when importing the file.

Select the blue square shape on top, go to Operations, and change that layer to score. This will change the blue square to dashed lines, so we know these lines are score.

Then attach the score lines to the box shape.

Click Make to take you to the mat preview.

I used several different types of material, paper, an acetate sheet, and thicker foil cardstock. These other materials have different cut settings, so I would need to adjust them before each mat.

Also, for the large box shape, I am using the scoring wheel, so I’ll need to pay attention to when to insert that. The scoring stylus can be used instead if required.
