Popsicle SVG, Free Summer Download

Warmer weather is coming, who else is excited? Sunshine, days sat in the sun or dare I say walking the dog to the pub for a cold glass of wine on a sunny day? And of course ice lollies or popsicles whatever you call them in your part of the world? This Free Popsicle SVG, PNG Cut File is perfect for creating summer crafts, decorating water bottles, garden cushions and t shirts.

I am seriously excited about summer crafts and making all my makes look summery, I’m ready for it now.

So why popsicles? Our boys are 15 and 20 and still eat their body weights in ice lollies all year round. So you can only imagine how many they get through in the summer. I have so many family photos of the boys eating a lolly. And it was always to the way to motivate them as toddlers.

Whether on a cruise, to get them round a port tour. Or to have their hair cut, popsicles were the currency of choice in the Christie household. Check out this healthy ice lolly recipe I created last year with yoghurt they went down a real treat.

Check out my trouble shooting page, hopefully it will answer any questions you may have.

How To Upload Your Popsicle SVG File To Cricut Design Space 

Firstly click upload at the bottom of the left hand bar and click browse to find your chosen SVG file on your MAC, Phone or PC. Find the file and click upload.

Next you will see is the image below, click on the image and press upload in the bottom right corner. 

Creating A Back File For Your Ice Lolly Cut File

To create a back file for your popsicle SVG/PNG start by clicking on your cut file and clicking duplicate. You will find duplicate in the right hand side bar at the top.

Select one of the images and click contour in the bottom right corner. A box will pop up, here you can select hide all contours, this will give you one solid background. However you can also play with this to leave areas open.

Remember, if you want your backing to be a different colour, ensure you do this is design space to avoid confusion when cutting. It also works well to use different textures.

Cutting Your Popsicle SVG/PNG Cut Files

When you send your Ice Lolly SVG/PNG files to your Cricut to cut, ensure you use your brayer to roll the paper, vinyl or card to adhere to the mat. Movement will affect the cut. 

If your cutting mat looses its stickiness this will affect the quality of cut. Also make sure your mat is in good condition, this is vital for cutting intricate cuts such as floral paper cuts.

Additionally, make sure you set the material and cut pressure correctly to match whatever Cricut materials you’re cutting to get a clean cut. If you have any problems cutting check the mat, pressure and material settings as generally this is where the problem will lie.

How To Clean Your Cutting Mats

I use soapy water in a spray bottle, start by spraying the mat and leaving for 30 seconds, then lightly scrape with a scraper to remove debris.

Now leave to air dry before re using. Try one old mat first to see if it works for you, but I am having great results and have cleaned one mat several times, whereas I used to replace them.
