Step 1: Cricut Cupcake Wrapper Template
Find below the step-by-step instructions on how to prepare your cupcake wrapper for cutting.
- Begin by clicking here to open the Cupcake Wrapper project in Design Space.
Note: The designs are obtained through the Cricut Assess profile.
- Next select “Open”.
- Select “Open Cricut Design Space Application”.
- From there you can select “Customize” or “Make It”.
Select “Customize” if you want to change the color and size. Most cupcakes come in the standard size width of about 9 inches therefore you may not need to adjust.
- Once satisfied, select “Make It”
Step 2: Cut Image
Next, it is time to cut your design. This project will have you load the project onto three different mats as we are using three colours.
- When you are happy with the design click on “Make It.”
- From there place the cardstock onto your StandardGrip or StrongGrip cutting mat. Depending on how thick your cardstock is and how sticky your mats are will determine which mat you should use.
- Make sure to turn the Smart Set Dial on your machine to Cardstock if using the CEA2.
You can select the correct setting for your cardstock thickness in Design Space by using the Select Materials option (set your dial to Custom to bring up the Material Options selection).
- Once the design has been cut, carefully remove the cut cardstock from the cutting mat being careful so as not to tear the design.
TIP: You can turn the cutting mat over and roll it away from the cardstock at a perpendicular angle if the cut cardstock is not peeling away easily.
- Weed away (or remove) any excess pieces from your wrapper.
- To cut the remaining wrappers, repeat the above steps.
- Lastly, you will need to assemble the wrapper by simply putting one end through the other at their designed cut slots.
