Hi…I have a new blade and a new mat. All cut well but the ferns. Setting light cardstock and more pressure. Any ideas? Thanks!

  Make sure the blade is clean (or you can even try another new one!), and try the Copy Paper setting +more, or default.

Do you have instructions for this beautiful wreath? I searched YouTube and did not find any instructions there. If not, can you tell me if you have similar instructions? I do not know how to attach to a metal ring.
Thank you!

  Hi! This specific wreath is for the Jennifer Maker class mentioned in the post. But the magnolia flower is available here (https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-holiday-magnolia/), and this video shows one way to adhered flowers to a metal wreath form (https://liagriffith.com/blooming-heart-wreath/), but you can also just wrap the wire stem around the ring, and secure with hot glue.

I can’t wait to make this! How do you hang it up, especially if you don’t want the design to be on the bottom?

Is the gold hoop included in the bundle. I don’t see it shown, but it also isn’t listed separately in the materials needed?

  Hi Joanne! The bundle does not include the gold hoop right now– it just went out of stock so we removed it and reduced the price accordingly. There is a link to a similar hoop available on Amazon!

this is absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for your class. I truly learned a lot from you. I have made card stock flowers before but never these. I have learned that you can buy crepe paper sheets….lol. I never knew that before. Your wreath looks so realistic, Im guessing its the crepe paper that makes them that way? Thank you again Mrs. Lia

  Are you receiving an error message? Everything is working fine on our end so unfortunately I’m not sure what the issue could be.

How come I can’t get the patterns to download to my cricut. It says it’s not a supported file. What do I do to save it so that it will open?

  Make sure you are unzipping the folder that downloads to your computer. It will extract 2 separate SVGs for you to upload into Design Space.

    Even tho it says it’s a “holidayMakerFest_SVGs” file, it downloads as a Chrome HTML Document. Any ideas?

Hi Lia,
I can’t find pdf files for this project, only svg. You mention the grain lines on the petal template, but no template is provided that I can find.
Thanks,
Julie

Hello- what setting on the Cricut do you cut your frosted craft paper? I am using the pearl paper setting which I thought was the closest and it is ripping some of the design. Also in order to prepare for the class tomorrow it would be great to know what we need to cut out of each color so that we can be all ready to make the wreath. Thank you for your help. Coleen Barnes

  Hi! We have found it cuts best with a newer mat and sharp blade on the Copy Paper +more setting, or the Light Cardstock setting. You can do a few test cuts first – I like to draw circles in Design Space and test cut those! I just updated the post with quantities for the greenery.
