Hi. Can the glitter cardstock be glued to rhe poster board prior to be cut with the cricut maker?ReplyCancel

  HI Joseph,
  I have an Air Pro and not a Maker so I’m not exactly sure – but I think as long as the thickness of the two pieces of material doesn’t exceed the Maker’s depth settings, you should be able to cut them together! I would do a test run with scrap pieces just to be sure!ReplyCancel

  I was also wondering about the same thing. Have you tried it already?ReplyCancel

In my own opinion, I think using a calligraphy strong font is much better than the slender font. The design would be able to hold itself and not bend. I have made some slender fonts in the past and I always get frustrated when it would bend during the event. Thou there are times i use slender fonts for some designs as requested by my clients. 🙂 By the way, I like the infinity love and celebrate design.ReplyCancel

Did you use the modge podge for the cardboard backing and the glitter cardstock? ReplyCancel
- Ariana - Hey Wedding Lady
  You can use it to adhere a cardboard backing to the glitter if you feel like the topper needs to be reinforced – I only used it to attach the cardstock to the skewers since it felt durable enough to me!ReplyCancel

What size bamboo skewers do you use?ReplyCancel
- Ariana - Hey Wedding Lady
  Standard BBQ skewers work great – I think mine were 11.25″ long and 3mm wide, but you can cut them down to your desired length!ReplyCancel

Thanks for the tutorial! Do those fonts come in the Cricut DesignSpace App? I’m looking to create a customized cake topper for a friend on the Cricut at my local library. How would I go about creating the actual worded design? Thanks!ReplyCancel

  Hi Sarah,
  
  I created all of the topper designs using InDesign! I would recommend using a design program of some kind to create your custom topper, then exporting it as a .png. Once you have your custom .png, you can follow the rest of the tutorial to upload to DesignSpace. I used a few custom designs that I created myself, and the November Starlight script for the lettered ones! I hope that helps!ReplyCancel

What fonts are you using? I love your work!ReplyCancel
- Ariana - Hey Wedding Lady
  Thank you so much! I’m a font addict so there are a few in here – I used November Starlight for a fun script look, Denver for the clean serif style, and Amigirl for the more elegant script!ReplyCancel
