Then just place the material you want for your first box onto your cutting mat, load it into your machine, and press the flashing button to begin cutting. So when you're ready, click Make It, then Continue, and choose your material - I am cutting my cardstock on the Medium Cardstock setting with More pressure and the Scoring Stylus. So if you also want to use patterned cardstock, or just want to use different colors than I have, you can keep this easy by NOT changing any of the colors in the design file to preserve the cutting order, but then just put whatever colors or patterns of cardstock you want on your cutting mats as you go along! Now the solid rainbow colors are fun, but I actually prefer the way the project looks using double-sided patterned cardstock.
I will show you how to make this explosion box with solid colored cardstock that matches the color in the design file and in the printable diagram, that way you always know which color I am working with. This video shows you exactly how to identify and set each of the score lines in this template: Go back and find them, and then select the score line and the layer immediately below that, and click Attach. If you see any mats that appear to just be odd black lines, that means you forgot to attach some score lines to their base layers. When you feel you've got them all - and I count 31 layers that are score lines - click Make It and carefully check each mat. Continue going down the Layers panel until all of those layers that just seem like empty lines are set to Score, and make sure you Attach them to the layer immediately below it each time. It's very important you tell Cricut Design Space which layer you want scores by attaching it, or you'll just have scoring happening on empty mats. Your Score line is now set and attached to its base layer. Now hold down the Shift key and select the layer below that, then click Attach. You should see that layer change from Basic Cut to Score in the Layers panel. So once you've found a Score line, select it in the Layers panel, then go to the Operation menu, and choose Score. Another way you can identify the score lines in this project is to look for two layers that are in a small group with themselves - in these small groupings, the top in the score line and the bottom is the base layer. Now begin checking the Layers panel for layers that look like nothing more than empty, uncolored lines - those are the score lines. When complete, you should no longer see the word "Group" in the layers panel. You'll also want to ungroup the four other large groups you see - you can identify these by the word "Group" in the Layers panel. To set and attach score lines in this project, select the design on the Canvas and click Ungroup.
You can tell by checking the Layers panel on the right side of Cricut Design Space- if all you see are Basic Cuts, and you see nothing that says Score, then that means you need to set and attach your score lines. I've pre-set and attached these score lines for for you, but Cricut Design Space may or may not see these. Scoring your box is very helpful, but not necessary. This design includes many score lines, which makes the box easier to fold. Read my Cricut Writing and Pen Tutorial for tips, tricks, and font ideas. Idea: If you don't feel like hand writing special notes on the white notecards in this project, you can have your Cricut do the work for you. If you want to see the pieces clearly, you can click Ungroup in the upper right and then separate each of the four boxes from one another.
And when you first upload them to Cricut Design Space, they are all on top of each other. This design contains four boxes and lids with various pockets, envelopes, and notecard inserts.
