Every sheet of Real Wood Paper is unique and beautiful in its own way. It is also extremely versatile and can be used for so many different projects, creations and art. Really, the only limit is your own imagination.
Today, we pulled out the Cricut Maker, used scraps leftover from a previous project and created a fun wooden bookmark. We needed a quick project so why reinvent the wheel and create our own SVG file when there are so many already available for use on the Internet? We found this lovely Faith Cross SVG at Hello SVG (Thank You!) and uploaded it to our Cricut Design Space.
After getting it to the perfect size, we grabbed a sheet of Cherry .010″ Fleece Back Short Grain Real Wood Paper and taped it down to the Cricut Mat with painters tape. If you happen to come across this project and want to use one of our 2 other thicknesses the settings are all listed below for you.
