Leverback Earring Card Punch by Easy Earring Cards

Product Information

After uploading your earring SVGs to Cricut Design Space, you have to first UNGROUP them so you can manipulate them individually. No matter the reason, you can easily hide an earring hole to keep it from cutting by using the “Contour” feature in Cricut Design Space. I always like to make ONE earring shape with a hole first, then DUPLICATE that shape to create the second earring.

My earring designs have two layers — one is intended for the faux leather (the brown layer) and one is intended for a foil vinyl iron-on layer (the pinkish layer). If you don’t want to do the iron-on layer, they’ll look good with just the faux leather layer.Note: When you cut the faux leather layer, be sure to select “faux leather” as your material and mirror your image. The foil vinyl layer should be set to “foil vinyl iron on” and also mirrored. Sometimes you may want to “hide” an earring hole in a faux leather earring SVG to keep it from cutting. Why would you want to do that? Here are some reasons:

Or you may want to change the location of the earring hole altogether (if you want the earrings to dangle a different way, for example).A Cricut cutting machine (or another cutting machine of your choice).I used the Cricut Maker, but you can use the Cricut Maker 3, the Explore Air 2 or Explore 3, or the Cricut Joy. Key concepts taught in the video tutorial include how to mirror a design in Cricut Design Space, how to cut faux leather, and how to iron foil vinyl on faux leather.

Now some of the earring designs have pre-cut holes, but a few do not. Those that do not are this way on purpose so you can choose whether you want them to hang straight or curved. If you want them to hang straight, just punch a hole at the top with the leather punch and you’re good to go. This is largely because the Cricut doesn’t always cut the earring hole completely through. If the hole isn’t cut completely, it’s necessary to manually punch the earring hole, and the 1/16″ hole punch results in a nice, clean earring hole cut.Faux leather is really quite thin, so you can cut it on both the Cricut Explore and the Cricut Maker with a regular fine-point blade. You can even cut faux leather with scissors. It’s a very simple, fun project and when you’re done you get cute earrings to wear or gift to others.
