Easy Cricut Easter Card

Hello, so far this year is flying by. I can’t believe Easter is right around the corner. Do you have big Easter plans? Do you want to make an easy Cricut Easter card to send to friends and family. I’ve designed a cute, fun and easy Cricut Easter card that is a carrot shaker card.

I am sharing the Cricut Design Space file I created for this easy Cricut Easter card with my Patreon supporters. If you would like to become a Patron so you can get this Cricut Design Space file and many others, plus additional perks, you can join here.

Making The Easy Cricut Easter Card

Here is the instructional video.

All pieces for this Easter Card were cut on my Cricut Maker. You can also use the Explore Machine.  The Cricut Joy doesn’t score, so you wouldn’t be able to make the card base with it, however, you could hide the card base and just cut out the carrot pieces on the Cricut Joy. You could then cut out the card base with a paper trimmer.

This picture is of all the pieces I cut out for this card with my  Cricut Maker.

First thing I did was glue the carrot pieces together with Liquid Adhesive to make the well for the sequins.

Next I glued the Acetate to the Orange Glitter Cardstock carrot piece with Liquid Adhesive, which will be placed on top of the well after adding the Sequins.

Putting the Carrot Together

After that I glued the Green Cardstock to the back of the solid carrot piece with Liquid Adhesive. Then I trimmed down the point on the Green Glitter Cardstock so it wouldn’t show underneath the Acetate.

Once the point is trimmed off the Green Glitter Cardstock leaf, add this piece to the top of the Green Cardstock piece using Liquid Adhesive.

Adding The Sequins

Now comes the fun part, adding the Sequins to the well. I found after I glued the carrot pieces together for the well that it wasn’t tall enough for my liking, so I added Adhesive Foam Tape around the edge to give it a little more height.

I added foam tape all around the outside edge to give the well more depth.

Lastly, after removing the backing on the foam tape, I used the Liquid Adhesive to glue the Orange Glitter Cardstock piece with the Acetate to the top of the Adhesive Foam Tape.

So here is the finished card. I love how this came out and I think you will too.
