Instructions
Cutting Out the Tropical Leaf Card
- Unzip the download file.

Then go into the SVG Folder and select the SVG Files- Select all and
- Next select the dotted line

- then select the card and score line
- then click on attach
- Then click on the Make It button
- The prepare screen will appear
- Now if everything looks correct on it, click on the continue button
The next screen will be where you will select the type of card stock you are using. If you do not see the material in your material favorites, click on "browse all materials" to find the weight of cardstock that you are using. For example the cream Cardstock I used is medium weight, you will need to select "Medium Weight"..
Once you have Design Space set, you are now ready to prepare your mat. I used a brayer when placing the Cardstock on the mat, this helps in making sure that the paper is adhered to the mat and will help in keeping the paper from ripping or moving when it is being cut.
Assembling the Tropical Leaf Card
- Starting with the card piece
- fold the card in half on the score line
- then take the leaf layer
- put foam strips and dots on the back
- place it on top of the front of the card piece
