How to use a Cricut to make your llama Valentine

If you’re using a Cricut machine to make your llama Valentines, the directions are a bit different. Follow my step-by-step guide below!

NOTE:  New to Cricut and Design Space? Be sure to download our free beginner’s guide here!

1. Download llama Valentine file.

First, download your funny Valentine file by signing up for my newsletter above. Next, open a new project in Design Space, click “upload” and you will be taken to the screen above.

2. Upload image to Design Space.

Click upload image and choose the image from your computer. You will then see the screen above.

For this design, choosing complex works best (see image below). Basically the llamas are so light in color that there is not enough contrast for the other options. If you are uploading another image and are having issues, try choosing different options here.

3. Erase the background.

Once you click continue, you will be taken to the screen below. Now it is time to erase any area that you do not need.

In this case, I only need to click on the background. You will see anything that you do not want to turn checked like the image below.

4. Preview your file.

Then, when you click continue, you will have a preview of your file. In this case, we want the print then cut option. However, you can also see what your cut file will look like in this preview. If something looks off, you can go back and try to erase more of the area.

5. Save!

Then once you click save, you will be taken to your uploads screen. Pick the proper file and click insert images.

6. “Make it!”

It will now be in your Design Space project. You can resize on this screen if needed. If not, just click “make it”.

7. Print and cut.

Print then cut! It will look something like the image below. See the box around the image? That is there to give an indicator to your Cricut as to where it should cut. NOTE:  If your image is too large, you will get a prompt here and you can go back to resize. 

Once you click continue, you will print your design then cut it with the Cricut. Don’t worry as the software will walk you through the steps.

It cuts perfectly around your design! NOTE:  The images will print with some bleed around them but all of that will get cut off.

Cricut vs. Old School

With the Cricut, it is definitely letting the machine do the work for you. You can always cut these by hand, but it would be some work going around all of those curves. If you have a Cricut, I definitely recommend making use of the print then cut feature to make a funny llama Valentine all your own.

Personalize your Valentine

You can add to and from to the back of each card. Then attach them to treat bags or give them just as they are. Everyone loves a funny Valentine and we all love llamas….am I right?

So, grab your supplies and print your own funny Valentine today. You will love the results!
