After cross-verifying the entire design, tap the Continue option. Following this, unbox the cutting mat and material that you are going to use while making the project. Next, press the Cricut icon, and your Cricut Venture smart cutting machine will open.

In addition, load your Cricut cutting mat into your craft machine and hit the Go button to begin the crafting process. Once your Cricut Venture machine starts beeping, unload the material and place it on the other side of the table.

Step 3: Fold Score Lines & Cover Your Design

After your cutting machine finishes the cutting process, fold your design score lines into perfect alignment. Ensure that you keep the box score line equally in the correct margin and use the scoring tool for proper alignment.

Also, take your paper and trim its extra side using the Cricut trimmer. After doing that, fill in your Cricut glue gun with solid adhesive and put the glue all over the design and around the corner. Now, take the other half of the box and cover the design using glue and paper.

In the last step of how to use Cricut Venture, fold one side of the box and apply glue over it. Now, take another box and stick its one side on the top of the glue.

However, remember to gently press the area for proper alignment and avoid any bubbles.
