Learn how to use the new Cricut Watercolor Markers and Watercolor Cards and tips for choosing the best designs with them.

I love seeing the new products released from Cricut and appreciate how innovative the brand is in coming out with new machines, materials and products for us to try out. Cricut Watercolor Markers will draw your design using the Cricut machine. Once you remove it from the cutting mat, add a splash of water with the Water Brush to make your own watercolor masterpiece!

If you want to try new mediums in your crafting, try experimenting with watercolour effects in your card making!

Cricut Watercolor Marker Set

The watercolor markers came in a set of 8 Watercolor Markers (1.0 mm) in Green, Blue, Purple, Red, Black, Brown, Yellow, Orange. There is also an included Water Brush (4.0 mm). The water brush is used after the cards have been drawn to create freehand watercolor effects. The water brush is not used with the machine.

Cricut Watercolour Cards

The Cricut watercolor cards are made with cold-pressed watercolor paper and can be used with any Cricut machine. The watercolor cards are desined to be used with the Cricut Card Mat. There is an individual card mat that is used with the Cricut Joy machine, and a 2×2 card mat to use with the Cricut Maker.

What sizes do the watercolor cards come in?

The watercolor cards are available in R20 – 4.25 in x 5.5 in, R40 – 4.75 in x 6.6 in and S40 – 4.75 in x 4.75 in. If you are using the Cricut Joy to make your cards, use the smallest card size R20 to fit to the card mat.

Note: R40 and S40 cards are too large to fit on Cricut Joy Card Mat. They should be used with Cricut Card Mat 2 x 2 only.

Which designs to use for Cricut Watercolor Markers

Images and projects have been designed specifically to use with Watercolor Cards and Markers. Search Watercolor Marker in Cricut Design Space image search.

Most images that are made for drawing can be used as well. Filter the images in search for draw or cut and draw.

Many other designs and images can be used as well. Look for simple line art with multiple colors. It works best if the artwork has space between the colors, or the colors don’t touch. This helps the colors to not bleed together when adding the water and blending.

Pro tip: Simple line art with multiple colors works best. Find artwork where lines of different colors don’t touch, or colors may bleed together when blending.

Try out one of my own designs! If you have a cricut access subscription they are included for you to use! Check out my design space profile here.

Blending Tips

Fill the Water Brush (which is included in the marker set) with water. Squeeze lightly to push the water out and dampen the bristles. Dab any excess water on a clean towel, you don’t want it dripping water.

Using the Water Brush, start tracing along the artwork on the inside of the image.

To fill in larger areas use short strokes to pull the color in.

To swithc colors simply wipe the brush onto a paper towel while squeezing to apply more water.

When you are happy with the result allow the card to dry completely. I let mine sit for a few hours, even over night.

  7. Insert mat into machine

FAQ

Can I use other papers with the watercolor pens?

Yes! You can use watercolor paper as well. Regular printer copy paper will wrinkle after the water is applied and will not look pretty.

Can I add a watercolor design on two sides of a watercolor card?

Yes, but be sure to only apply water to one side at a time.

Happy Crafting!
