FAQs About Advice Cards For Graduation
If you have questions about these advice cards for graduation, I have answers for you! Please leave your question for me in the comments if you don’t see it already answered below.
What Cricut Machines Can I Use For This Project?
The Cricut machines that you can use for this project are the Cricut Maker, Cricut Explore series, and Cricut Joy Xtra and Venture. This is because these Cricut machines have the print then cut feature.
Do I Need A Special Printer For This Project?
No! Any printer that you have will work fine for this project.
Can I Print These Advice Cards For Graduation On Regular Computer Paper?
Yes, you can. However, for this project, I think that cardstock works the best because it’s thicker and peels off the Cricut mat more easily. Plus, if you are going to keep the advice cards long-term, the cardstock will hold up better over time.
My Cards Curled Up When I Removed Them From The Cricut Mat? Do You Know How To Fix That?
If your advice cards curled up when you removed them from the Cricut mat, you could set some books on the cards to help flatten them.
However, if you have more paper and time, I would re-print them and then cut them again. This is because, in the video above, I show you how to prevent your cards from curling. The key is to pull your mat away from your project, instead of pulling your project off the mat. To see how this is done, scroll back up to the video, and jump to 4:37 into the video!
