Custom Colors

The best thing about this project is that you can make the hearts ANY color you want, because the color is printed! We used the Cricut Print then Cut feature for the color and the text so you can use the colors we choose, or choose your own before cutting.

SUPPLIES:

• Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore
• 8.5″ x 11″ White Carstock
• 10″ Bamboo Skewers
• Home Printer
• Pop Dots
• Donut Holes

Design Your Hearts

Follow this link to Design Space to find our canvas and use these exact cut files or you can design your own. Change the colors of the hearts in the layers panel and then click the printer icon. If you are attaching text to a shape you’ll need to click “flatten”, that’s what makes the element “print then cut” instead of cutting out the text from the shape. I used Watermelon Script for the font.

Print Then Cut

Design Space will prompt you to first print the file using your home printer. Do so on 8.5″ x 11″ white cardstock. Then add the print to a cutting mat and feed into your Cricut. The Cricut will then make a series of movements to register where the print is using the black box lines, it’s so cool. Once the Cricut sees the print, it will perfectly cut out all your hearts!

Please Try It

If you’ve never tried print then cut, you absolutely must give it a go! It might feel a bit daunting at first but it’s so incredibly awesome and easy, you just have to experience it! Once you do, you’ll realize all the amazing possibilities. One of my favorites is planner stickers!

Remove All Your Hearts From The Cutting Mat

Assemble

I used Pop Dot adhesive circles to adhere the hearts to the skewers, for a little extra dimension but you can use any adhesive that you like. One heart for the backside and one for the front.

Add Donut Holes

Super Quick + Easy

The Cricut makes this project incredibly quick and easy, the longest part will be adding the hearts to the skewers… or maybe picking your colors or types of donut holes. It’s being able to quickly make fabulous crafts like this, that look lovely (and not crafty-cheesy) that made me fall head over heels for my Cricut!
