D.I.Y Save the Date

Made our save the date on Canva with the use of digital water color clip art from Etsy for the florals and leaves. Was fun making this!

Going to print these at home and then use my cricut to cut them. How would you print these double sided at home and cut with a cricut?? Also what weight of cardstock would you use?

That sounds so cute! I love that you’re combining Canva and Etsy elements—it must look beautiful. ???? For double-sided printing at home, I usually do a test run with regular paper first to make sure everything lines up. If your printer supports double-sided printing (duplex), that’s easiest. If not, you can print one side, let it dry, and then carefully feed it back in for the other side. For Cricut cutting, make sure your design is properly aligned with the cutting mat, and do a test cut on a scrap piece first to get the settings right. As for cardstock, I usually go with 80–100 lb (around 216–270 gsm) for save-the-dates—it’s thick enough to feel substantial but not too stiff for the Cricut to handle cleanly.
