Making Earring Display Cards With Cricut

November 15, 2018

Cliff Notes:

Finished size - varies greatly. I'd suggest starting at 2.5 x 3.5 and figuring out what you like from there.
Size for earring circles - 0.068 works well

Tips For Making Your Own:

Finished sizes: (Suggestions only, I've seen so many variations!)

2.5 x4
3 x 3
They do not need to be larger than your earrings!

Add 2 circles I first sized them to 0.181 While this worked, it's really MUCH larger than they need to be. .068 works great!

I spaced them an inch apart, with the the outside edges being on the inch lines.

Use the "align" to make them perfectly across from each other - you can see one is slightly higher than the other in the photo above. Align will fix that.

Print and Cut

For print and cut (using your printer) you will need to slice the circles out of your tag. Select both circles, choose weld. Then select both the circles and the tag, and slice.

Next add your text. Then select your shape and your text and choose flatten. You will see the printer icon to the right of your flattened item.

(The grey rectangle here is completely unnecessary. I only added it here so the white tag would show up and you can clearly see the holes for the earrings)

Write and Cut

For write and cut, you can skip slicing the circles, and just attach them. When you attach them they will change to white (the color of your background shape) and they will cut.

Be sure to choose a font that will write - not all fonts work as writing fonts. There's a list with samples of free fonts that work - here - http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/11/6-single-line-fonts-that-will-write.html

In the layers panel on the right, be sure to click on the scissors beside your text, and change it to the pen.
