This prevents the ink from seeping into the wood. Seal the pieces first and allow to dry before stamping. This workshop uses the Cricut Artbooking Collection, which features designs in a wide variety of themes that can be used for any and every occasion. The necessary Cricut shapes to complete this workshop are available as a project file in Cricut Design Space, Made with Love Mini Album Workshop (https://design.cricut.com/#/design/128692294). If you are not using a digital machine, see page 6 for specific Cricut cut information. 1

The zip strip is the " accent paper along the top of each sheet. Check the cut orientation below each cutting guide image. This will show you how to cut the paper, keeping the patterns on your project pieces facing the right direction. Light grey pieces on your cutting guide are project pieces. White pieces are leftover paper. As you cut the paper, sort the pieces as indicated in the cutting guide, creating a stack for each project. Key: = first cut * = use back of paper P = page = suggested stamp arrangement = suggested Cricut cut arrangement (See project instructions for ink color and other details) Cutting Diagrams: Important instructions for Cricut cuts: Where there are Cricut shapes in the cutting diagram, start by cutting all straight pattern piece first.
