Making Earring Display Cards With Cricut (And Free SVGS)

It's quick and easy to make display cards to hold your faux leather earrings!

Here's how to make your own, and a list of free svgs for them too:

Quick Notes:

• Finished size - varies greatly.  I'd suggest starting at 2.5 x 3.5
• Size for earring circles -  0.068 works well
• Remember to attach!  Attach your circles so they cut from the card, attach your writing so it writes where you want it on the card..  attach, attach, attach!  :-) 
• Free Fonts that work as writing fonts
• Alternative (not cricut) markers that work in cricut machines, no adapter needed

Tips For Making Your Own:
Finished sizes: (Suggestions only, I've seen so many variations!)

• 2.5 x 4
• 3 x 3
• They do not need to be larger than your earrings!

For Your Shapes:
You can create a rectangle using the shape tool in design space, but for more detailed shapes,  try the KG Flavor & Frames fonts, free on Dafont.  

There are seven different versions of this font, but my favorites for scalloped shapes are the original, and number 4.
See them all here: https://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=kg+flavor+frames 

There's also a free tag svg here - https://www.lovepapercrafts.com/free-curvy-tags-svg/

For the Holes: Add 2 circles . .068 works great!

 I spaced them an inch apart, with the the outside edges being on the inch lines.  

Use the "align" to make them perfectly across from each other - you can see one is slightly higher than the other in the photo above.  Align will fix that.

Print and Cut

For print and cut  (using your printer) you will want to slice the circles out of your tag.  Select both circles, choose weld. Then select both the circles and the tag, and slice.  (You can also just attach the circles, but you need to make sure you do not flatten them to your shape)

Next add your text.  Then select your shape and your text and choose flatten.  You will see the printer icon to the right of your flattened item.

(The grey rectangle here is completely unnecessary.  I only added it here so the white tag would show up and you can clearly see the holes for the earrings)

Write and Cut

For write and cut, you can skip slicing the circles, and just attach them.  When you attach them they will change to white (the color of your background shape) and they will cut.

Be sure to choose a font that will write - not all fonts work as writing fonts.  There's a list with samples of free fonts that work - here - http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/11/6-single-line-fonts-that-will-write.html

In the layers panel on the right, be sure to click on the scissors beside your text, and change it to the pen. 

This has changed with the new update - now you choose Draw/Pen in the top toolbar.
