Pick Your Colors

There are SO many options when it comes to colors for this portrait scene – your only constraint is paper color! Click each layer and pick it’s color to customize your portrait.

Add Text

We’ve left a blank area at the bottom of the design to add any text you’d like, from your names to a special saying. You can either cut letters out of paper and glue them on top of the last design layer or you can “slice” them out of the last design layer in Design Space, which is what I did for all three:

To Slice: Ungroup the file. Add text and size to fit the blank area. Select both the text and the top design layer, then hit “slice”. Delete the two text layers and you’ll be left with a custom top design layer that your text will be cut out of!

Working From The App

Since there are 14 cut mats for this design and my Cricut is a few paces away from my computer, I found it easier to work/cut off the app instead. Your choice!

Let The Cricut Work It’s Magic

Aside from picking your colors of paper, cutting is the step that takes the longest. Have your paper colors ready to go and keep all the tiny cut pieces together.

Assemble Your 3D Portrait

This part is SO much fun! I had a blast doing it! Start by assembling the background, use Pop Dots to add the 3D dimension to the design.

Carefully glue the inside of letters and numbers back into place after cutting; ie. d, e, f, &, a, etc. Then adhere to the finished background.

Assemble The Bride & Groom

Carefully assemble both the bride and groom. Using Pop Dots to give them dimension, on smaller areas you can totally cut the Pop Dots down to fit.

Assembling both the bride and groom, I found it easiest to leave their heads free until the end so that I could position them perfectly together.

After you have them together, add them into their special background! So cute right!?

It’s All Paper

This entire mini-scene is all paper, which means that you get to pick out each and every color. From turquoise to pink, to lavender and every color in between – I can’t wait to see your rendition! Add your names, wedding date, special saying or nothing at all. The entire scene is all about you!
