Easy way to create “Side Edge/Over the Edge” cards in Cricut Design Space

[@Centella9]

Thank you soooo much for showing a shortcut! I've watched a handful of videos that seem to make it more complicated or extra steps. And thanks for the detailed explanations for this newbie!!

[@genalipscomb2596]

I am so new at this. Your tutorial is wonderful and so easy to understand THANK YOU

[@aseal5511]

This is the 10th video I've watched and finally understood how to keep the card the size I wanted it, and the first video I've understood "the how to" make an edge card. Not even the Cricut "how to" videos helped. THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT SIMPLE - EASY! ♥ ALMEDIA.

[@jilldavis5007]

I just used this tutorial to create the cutest Valentine's cards! Thank you!!!

[@phyllis610]

Excellent instructions. Phyllis in Virginia, USA

[@MDLady1965]

Thank you! I've watched so many people do it so much harder! I knew slice was the way to go. Excellent!

[@ceejay1320]

OMG, you are amazing, you taught me so much in this video and not just the card!! Alignment, contour, how to do back to back without trying to match it up, you are the bomb!!! Thank you so much for all of this. and the card is AWESOME!!!

[@K-Fred]

I just discovered your page. For whatever reason I totally get your style of teaching and explanation. Thank you!!!

[@Judy9248]

I am so happy I came across this video and I am thankful that you shared your knowledge. You explain this so clearly as I was looking for something different to make my Valentines cards. I want to thank you so much for your generosity. Happy and healthy New Year.

[@cathyr7901]

Thank you. As others have said this is a very easy but detailed tutorial. I know I will refer to it again. This group is so generous with their knowledge and I am grateful.

[@gsdmama2]

Hi Narelle, I have watched several videos and found yours to be the most easiest to follow. I came from Tamara's you tube channel that was suggested on my feed as I was searching for new card folds.

[@zoedoodle9824]

Thank you for that. I recently watched Tamara's tutorial and while it was a bit easier than the others I've seen, the technique is still imprecise and fiddly. I knew there was a way to do it this way and began to play with it but didn't have the patience to figure it out. LOL. Thank you for all the work that it took go through the trial and error of figuring it out for me!

[@Britgirl58]

Fantastic tutorial - nothing missed, not one smallest of details. Easily understandable. Thank you!!

[@girlmisty2]

Great tutorial, Narelle! I can't stop making Over the Edge cards, they are so fun! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise using Cricut Design Space. I'll be sharing your tutorial and also the link to your group in my group so everyone can learn and have fun too. Thank you again! You're the Best! Misty

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

Thanks Misty. They’re so much fun to make! :)

[@tracybridgens4288]

Thank you much for sharing your project and your ideas! This is great! I'm also thrilled to have found an Aussie crafter to follow! You have my heart!

[@deanneb5039]

Thank you, Narelle. Your tutorial is very easy to follow and you explain everything so well. You have taught me a different way to make the Side Edge cards which I am eager to try now. I think using the Slice tool, as you have done, will make it a bit easier to create the card base and layers.

[@jodisteuber3945]

Very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to show the process and suggestions!

[@teresacrawford5651]

This is a great tutorial! I've watched a few others on this subject and by far, yours is the easiest to follow and execute! Great job!

[@gramme596]

You instructions are very easy to follow, thank you for putting this together!! Such cute cards, I am excited to make some.

[@carolynfisher8918]

Thank you Narelle. Your tutorial is Amazing. You take the time and explain everything so perfectly. Tomorrow I will watch this again and try and make my own. Thank you again.

[@CandiB307]

Perfect! Thank you for this. Great instructions.

[@denisesandulak5794]

Thank you so much for making this video. Now this makes total sense and I actually made a card!! Best Regards from Canada

[@doriskilbane6089]

You showed just what I wanted to learn--side edge cards WITH DOUBLE OFFSET! Now I need to know how to make side edge cards of the A2 size: 5.5 tall by 4.25 wide.

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

You would make them the same way. Start with a rectangle that is H5.5 X W8.5 with the score line at 4.25".

[@doriskilbane6089]

@@thenoncraftycrafter ok. Thank you.

[@sandravavonese6565]

Thank you! I’ve been struggling with this concept as I am trying to create escort cards with the design edge on top. I can’t seem to get it to work but your video has inspired me to try a workaround with your tutorial! I just joined your Fb group!! Thank you again!

[@anthonyaustwick4165]

Thank you for this video! I have been trying to work out how to do this for a long time. Really good presentation, clear and easy instructions

Super et tu l'as bien expliqué. merci beaucoup j'aime beaucoup!

[@nanataylor9465]

I love these!!! Thank you

[@lauradavidson5375]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial... I am following along now and I have my two offsets done. When I press on the offsets the contour button does not go bold so I can't do that.. I am not understanding why

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

The Contour option will only be available if there is more than one contour. If it’s just a solid shape you can skip that step. If you need more troubleshooting help feel free to tag me in a post at facebook.com/groups/cricutexploreandmore with a screenshot of your project. 🙂

[@lyndahollins2881]

I have watched the video from start to finish 3 times now, but how do you get the icecream to look the same when making the card please. do you have a tutorial on card making?

[@jeanettenewman4789]

Wanting to add waves to the border of cards or other edging designs. Any ideas from Cricut?

[@AliciaWag]

Hi Narelle, & thanks for this tutorial! I just have one question. When you make the double side edge card, & you make 2 squares to put inside of it, wouldn’t you have to make them thinner, in order to not stick out beyond the edge of the card? When I’ve done this, I just put a square over the one side of the card, unlock it, & size it by eye, so it won’t stick out. If you have another way to do it, I’d love to know! Thanks again. 🙂

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

I did forget that bit in the video in my rush to get it recorded. You do indeed need to make the inside pieces shaped the same as the card base. You can use the original shaped piece and use the offset button but make them insets by using -0.125. 😊

[@janetmenchyk9778]

the two inside papers, where are they suppose to go since they don't fit the card?

[@joanfricker]

Joan Fricker 0 seconds ago Your tutorial was great. I do have a question though...when I close the card the bottom shows behind the cut out image. Is it supposed to? I only cut one side.

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

Yes, the only way to avoid that is to make the back shaped as well.

[@jeanrenard1730]

This was a very good video, and a project I wish I could make, but......my "offset" feature does not work, and Cricut has not yet come up with a fix for me :(

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

Are you using a PC running Windows 64 bit? If so, have you tried downloading and installing this: aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe It doesn't work for everyone, but has for many.

[@lyndahollins2881]

Thankyou, I am very much a newbie Cricuter and wanted to know how to use the slice and contour. but how does the main image apear on the cut card?

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

The main image is cut seperately and adhered to the front of the card.

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

The PDF might be more helpful. u.pc.cd/GhuctalK

[@catherinepci7594]

Using the offset behind the image at the end of each project, is that just a design choice or does it serve a function? In other words, can you just place the flowers or ice cream directly on the card or do you need that offset shadow piece? Thx.

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

It’s totally a design choice.

[@suewilson683]

this is great. i'm trying to get to tamar's video but when i press the link it says' not found '

[@akarph]

I want to join your group! But please tell me where to get the embossing machine. Thank you!

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

There are many different embossing machines available. Here are some options from scrapbook .com. shrsl.com/4kel0 # ad. Look for one that has at least a 6" wide opening so you can use larger embossing folders.

[@akarph]

@@thenoncraftycrafter thank you! I designed my first card using your technique. I do like it better.

[@carmenbyrne4088]

That’s amazing ! Would you by any chance know how to do this on a Scan and Cut please? Thankyou

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

I’ve never used the Scan n Cut software as I don’t have that machine. If I can download it without owning a machine I’ll have a play and see what I can come up with.

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

I've had a play and while I've worked out the basic steps, I can't get consistent results. So it will take me longer than I thought to do a tutorial. I am working on one that shows the process in Sure Cuts a Lot and saving as a SVG. I believe that SVG's can be imported into CanvasWorkspace.

[@carmenbyrne4088]

Thankyou so much,sorry I took so long to reply, I didn’t realise you replied. An svg would be amazing! Please let me know of cost. Thanks again xx

[@jonibates7025]

Are the images print then cut? Love this!!!

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

I have used some layered images and some print then cut.

[@judipalmer8435]

I can’t understand a word of Tamara Tigchelaar’s video. Can it be translated?

[@deanneb5039]

I am very grateful to Tamara for first bringing side edge cards to my attention but having tried both Tamara's method and Narelle's method of making these cards, I think the way Narelle makes them is so much easier. I recommend that you just follow the steps that Narelle walks you through and you will be successfully making side edge cards in no time. 👍

[@jonibates7025]

Wouldn’t the squares on the inside show when you fold the card?

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

You can make them smaller if you like so they don't show.

[@meleagoins5916]

Where can I find the envelope to fit this card?

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

In the Cricut Explore, Maker and More Facebook group in the album called Envelopes.

[@rebeccamacgown8500]

When I put in 0.125 the off set does not work. If it put in 0.25 it does ?..

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

Not sure why that would be happening Rebecca. Do you not see an offset if you select .125”?

[@rebeccamacgown8500]

I shut DS down restarted my computer and now it works. Made 6 side edge cards today. Thank you for your video.

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

Great! :)

[@jonibates7025]

Tamara’s video is in German?

[@thenoncraftycrafter]

Yes, I believe she's from Germany.
