@CreativeHousewives

There is no way to cut multiple colors all at once keeping in the same place on one mat. You’ll want to select all of one color and attach it and then move through the colors. That will at least keep each color aligned.

Great tutorial! What material did you use for the tag? I tried to make a label on vinyl, but the pen just smeared and made a mess. I tried the pen that came with my Joy and a black glitter gel pen. Can you not use vinyl when writing? Thank you!

@CreativeHousewives

Жыл бұрын

I was using cardstock. If you're using vinyl you want to make sure you're using writable vinyl. For the Cricut Joy they have it as a smart vinyl option and it works great. I have tested it many times and the pen dries immediately on it. I think regular vinyl is just too glossy of a surface.

I'm so sorry for the delay in response. If you haven't already figured it out here you go. If you're in the edit toolbar you should see a section that says "operation" (it may say Basic Cut, or Pen above it). When you click on that at the top of that screen it will say "Operation" and right below that you can click to change it from a basic cut, to draw, or even print then cut.

Hi 🖐🏽 can you cut out something you have drawned on a paper?

@CreativeHousewives

Жыл бұрын

I think it would be hard depending on how detailed you wanted the cut out to be. You could try using the snapmat feature or scanning the image and uploading it into Design Space and adding an offset there and seeing if you can get them to line up with snapmat.

You need to select 2 and only 2 layers for slice to show up. Make sure you have both shapes selected in your layers panel.

It’s right at the beginning of the video. About 1 minute in. It’s adding the 2nd circle and slicing it from the larger circle. The machine will see that as a cut line and cut it out.

When I do this my cut ends up being off, and cutting the lettering. Do you have any tips?

You can, just be careful. Sticker paper is thick and usually needs to be able to be fed from the back of the machine so it doesn't get stuck.

I have an Explore Air 2. When I type in a text box, the option under ‘operation’ I have to choose is ‘pen’, then under ‘style’ the only option I’m given is ‘regular’. Since I can’t choose ‘writing’ I’m still just getting an outline of each letter. Now what???

If you uploaded it as a cut image you can change the line type to draw instead of cut. You would likely need to add an offset or shape behind it or something otherwise it won't have anything to cut.

Hello - I am new subscriber. I just bought the new cricut machine. I am a designer and just posted new designs on my Etsy page and wanted to offer Christmas Gigt tags that are already done and cut out for the customer. Is there a way I can bring my design into cricut design space software and just cut on the machine? Need all the help I can get. Please let me know or if there is another way to contact you. :-) Thank you so much.

Did you attach the two layers? As long as your writing is set as a pen layer and not a cut layer the color should not change when you attach them and then they should show up on one mat and show you that it's going to draw first and then cut.
