Preparation
- Design - Open design space link https://design.cricut.com/landing/project-detail/6a2f63c8bb74296ae5b772cc
Click 'customise' to open design on 'canvas' tab, so you can resize according to your blank. Edit the design to include kid's names. Add any other elements or text as you wish. - When you are happy with your design, click 'make' on top tool bar and follow the prompts to connect your Cricut smart cutting machine.
Cut
- Click 'Material Load Type' dropdown and then choose 'Without Mat' for Matless Smart Vinyl or 'With Mat' for Vinyl. Then choose your material and follow prompts to load material into your Cricut smart cutting machine. Follow prompts and watch as your Cricut machine cuts out the design. When its finished, unload material.
Assemble
- Weed - Remove the negative smart vinyl from the backing with a weeding tool. Simply hook the weeding tool into the vinyl in an area outside the design, then carefully peel it off to reveal your design ready to be transferred onto your Spotlight blanks.
- Transfer - Cut transfer tape to size and place carefully over the vinyl decals. Turn over the backing and burnish with scraper to ensure transfer tape adheres to the vinyl without any air bubbles. Flip back over and carefully peel back transfer tape low and slow. The vinyl will stick to the transfer tape, ready to be placed onto your candle lid. Repeat the same transfer process for the vase. Put everything together on the tray and load up with milk, cookies and carrots for Christmas Eve enjoyment.
