🌮 Let’s Taco ‘Bout a Card

Yes, I made a taco card—and yes, it’s ridiculously adorable! This card has layers of cardstock for the taco shell, lettuce, cheese, and all the fixings. Add a smiling face or a little pun like “Let’s Taco ‘Bout a Fiesta!” for a card that’s as fun as it is delicious-looking. Perfect for invites or party greetings!

You know I couldn’t resist turning an avocado into a card. These little cuties come with smiling faces, chunky little pits, and lots of personality. You can use them as punny love notes (“You guac my world!”), party invites, or just a cheerful hello to brighten someone’s day. Add some blush or a party hat for extra flair—they’re ridiculously fun to customize. You can also make this into a cute shirt to wear.

💀 Sugar Skull Card

For a card with a bold, artistic vibe, try making a sugar skull card! While traditionally associated with Día de los Muertos, sugar skulls also work beautifully as part of vibrant Mexican-inspired crafts. My sugar skull card SVG is layered and detailed, but still easy to cut with your Cricut. Cut it from bright, contrasting card stock and layer it up for a card that’s equal parts festive and fabulous. Add rhinestones or metallic accents for a little sparkle—it’s a showstopper!

Use bold, saturated card stock—think bright yellows, oranges, greens, and reds!

Pop up your layers with foam squares or glue dots for extra dimension.

Add sparkle with glitter card stock, metallic pens, or adhesive gems (because why not?).

Grab your Cricut, your favorite festive cardstock, and let’s make some Cinco de Mayo card magic! All my SVGs are designed to be easy to cut and assemble, whether you’re crafting a single card or making a whole batch for your party guests.

So go ahead—get crafty, get colorful, and share those fiesta vibes one card at a time! 🌶️💃
