Create a layered heart valentine with this free SVG file.
with CutCardStock
For Valentine’s Day, I am making a layered heart valentine with CutCardStock. I chose to make the heart alone but you can alter the file in many different ways. Use it as part of a card. Or maybe you want to only use two of the layers. And with any SVG file, you can change the size of the file and the colors you cut them out of for a variety of different looks.

I cut the three different layers of cardstock on a Cricut Maker. I set the size of the heart to 5″ tall.
You can see how pretty those detailed layers are and they would work well individually as well as together. A totally different idea would be to use them as stencils.

I have had my Maker for a while now and it keeps getting better with the addition of new adaptable tools. With each addition, it is like getting a new machine. When I started with Cricut four machines ago, I didn’t buy it for scrapbooking or card making. I bought it to reproduce pieces for kids crafting in Sunday School and girls club. Obviously, as the Cricut machines have advanced, so have how I utilize them in my crafting. Here are five things I love about my Cricut Maker. Projects one through four are posts from the past that I used the Maker, the fifth project is a new project that I just finished and used one of the newest tools, the engraving tool.
1. It Cuts Fabric without the need for any stabilizer. Sleep Mask
I made these reversible sleep masks for my daughters as gifts. Using the Maker to cut the fabric was so quick and easy without the need for any stiffening. Just place the fabric on the pink mat. It also allowed me to make multiples and there was no variation in the cutting which would happen if done with scissors.
2. It Cuts different materials really well. Earrings
I created this alternative pumpkin using my Cricut Maker. I used it to cut the bats out of vinyl and felt. It is so easy to cut the same design out of different materials even though the vinyl and felt are very different the Maker did it easily. The bucket has an internal light and glows at night. Now I have a festive Halloween decor I can display each year.
5. The adaptable tools allow me to create using new materials.
You can see the newest adaptable tools in the following video:
These tools open up so many different crafting doors. I am just getting started with exploring the different opportunities. After receiving the new tools, I tried the engraving tool first on acrylic. It was as easy to set up as any of the other tools I already had for the Maker.
The leaves are an image from Cricut Access (Leaves Drawing #MAEF3C53). The Design Space project link is here: [leaf engraving] The leaves are engraved onto two different layers of acrylic.
I took the two layers of acrylic and painted them with alcohol ink. The below image is the final piece.
