Learn to hack Print Then Cut with a Cricut Joy using this hack and the template!
I’ll teach you how to add your own photos to projects using Design Space.
Then, we’ll craft a cute camera with a photo lens using your new skill.
It’s a gift box that holds 4×6 photo prints; you’ll create a one-of-a-kind keepsake that makes a perfect gift.

How do I make this project with a Cricut Explore or Maker?
Skip the part of the tutorial where you upload the “Joy Print Then Cut Template SVG.”
Resize the flash and button PNGs to fit the sizes in the SVG shown below.
Follow the tutorial on cropping your photo to fit the lens. (This is at 9:20 in the video.)
Skip the part when I print the stickers and then cut them with the Joy.
Start following the video again at 20:50, where I upload the camera gift box SVG and show how to adjust in Design Space. Use the actual Score operation instead of the ‘foil’ workaround needed with the Joy.
“Make It” like you would any other project.

Materials and Supplies needed to make the Camera Gift Box:
Cricut Joy cutting machine (or full-sized machine)
Foil tip (to use for scoring) – This is the official Cricut foil tip kit with gold and silver foil sheets. However, I bought the Likart foil tip kit as it has purple, blue, and green foil colors along with the standard gold and silver sheets.
Cricut Joy Blue LightGrip 12-inch cutting mat
Weeding hook and/or piercing tool
Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue
110 lb cardstock – three sheets for the base (I frequently use heavyweight black cardstock, so I bought this 100-sheet pack from Recollections)
Two sheets of colored cardstock for the decorative sides – change up the colors to suit whatever occasion you’re creating it for. 12×12 Cardstock Shop has some fantastic options!
Metallic cardstock for the lid embellishments – I use metallic posterboard or AstroBrights Metallic Cardstock
Printable glossy vinyl sticker paper OR glossy photo paper
A high-quality printer – I absolutely love my Epson XP-15000 Wide Format Photo Printer

When I downloaded the PDF file, I only see button files or flashes. I thought I would receive an instruction sheet as well. I went back to look at it and with the problems on their website, I can no longer view anything.
