Materials For Cricut Wedding Invitations

Following are the materials you will need to make a wedding card using Cricut.

• Vellum Inkjet Paper: It is a unique transparent paper usually used for printing; you can order them online from the Amazon store. You can use traditional white cardstock to replace the Vellum Inkjet Paper.
• Transparent PNG graphic: You can use any graphics of your choice; for the tutorial, we have used the Transparent PNG graphic.
• Cutting machine: You can use any Cricut model you have; every Cricut machine will perform this task.

Step By Step Process For Making Wedding Invitation Card

Before moving to the making process, deciding about graphics should be done first. Transparent PNG graphics are great for making a Wedding Invitation Card. These are the bitmap images with the background removed, making overlapping and laying out text and images appear smooth.

Follow the following steps for making wedding invitations by yourself:

Upload the Transparent PNG graphics

When uploading the transparent PNG, ensure “complex” is selected, so the design details are preserved. There is no need to select or erase anything on the page because the “select and erase” function in Cricut Design Space does not work accurately. On uploading the PNG image, the background gets automatically removed.

Now save the image in your Design Space as “Save as a print Then cut Image.”

Slice the Graphics in Cricut Design Space

Once you have uploaded the graphics into the canvas, you can modulate according to your preferences, like resizing, rotating, and duplicating. In this part, you can make personal choices; there are many possibilities for what you can do. In this part, you can make personal choices; there are many possibilities for what you can do.

Our Tips for Creating Cricut Invitation Cards

• Make sure that the default bleed setting for the print and cut is on, as it helps to add extra colored patting around the cut line if the cutting is not perfectly done.
• Don’t get messed up if you see any different lines around the area of design.
• If you notice any of your images or text have lines around them, or the images or texts look differently as set by you, this means you made that part flatten, and that part of the fill is not set to print.
• Different paper brands have different opacity, and each printer’s print quality is also different. The scanning mechanism sometimes has a card time on vellum print and cut tasks. We recommend using a black marker and tracing the alignment lines in this situation, which solves the problem.
