DESCRIPTION

• Ideal for making decals, stickers, cards, labels, signs, planners, scrapbooks, decorating laptop or phone cases...
• Smart material Cricut Smart Sticker Cardstock applicable on non-textured papers like Kraft paper or plain cardstocks
• Adhered to a liner that allows direct cutting with Cricut Maker 3 and Explore 3 plotters without a mat, the material slides without bending
• Coloured front and adhesive back protected with watermarked paper
• Colour pack include 2 cardstocks of each colour:
  
  • Bright colours: yellow, cardinal red, blue, green, and orange

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• If the cardstock is less than 15.24 cm long or more than 33 cm wide, a drag mat will be needed to align and cut it correctly
• Can be cut with other cutting plotters using a mat. Only Cricut Maker 3 and Explore 3 allow cutting without a mat
• Leave a small margin of material above and below the design so that the rollers can grip and load the cardstock
• If the material bends when loading, the plotter will try to smooth it during measurement. If it is not completely flat, press unload and reload it
• For projects that include drawing with a pen or marker, use the attach tool to position the drawing layer before sending it to the plotter

TIPS AND TRICKS

• Create decorative mandalas by combining the bright colour assortment. Design different shapes on each cardstock and stick one on top of the other so that they all fit together in a mandala shape
• Save leftover cardstock and use it by cutting it with a cutting mat
• Once the cardstock is adhered, use a spatula over it to stick it perfectly and remove any wrinkles
