Instructions for Printing and Cutting in Cricut Design Space
Discover the exciting world of DIY sticker-making with the "Print then Cut" feature in Cricut Design Space. This innovative tool allows you to print an image or design on a printer and then use a Cricut cutting machine to perfectly cut out the design.
To get started, the author shares valuable tips and tricks for designing a Print then Cut project. Searching for images, adding text, and flattening the design are just a few of the steps involved. Once loaded, the Cricut machine looks for the black frame that printed around the design to know where to cut.
Aligning pieces within your design is crucial for a seamless outcome. To align a group of text and image to the beginning of another group, select both groups and then choose "Align" followed by "Align Left" and "Align Top". For text beneath an image, space the text, select both the text and image, and then choose "Align" and "Align Right".
The smallest size for a Print then Cut is about 1⁄4" square, and the largest is 9.25" x 6.75". Non-print then cut files can be converted into print then cut files by flattening the design in Cricut Design Space. After aligning all pieces, select the Flatten icon to convert everything to one layer. The design is then printed and the Cricut Maker is used to cut out the design.
Cricut Printable Sticker paper is ideal for this purpose. Once cut, the new sticker peels easily away from the backing sheet. It's important to note that the print then cut feature can be used with any Cricut Explore or Maker machine.
When the printable image is too large, a warning message will be displayed, asking the user to reduce the size. Cricut Design Space also comes equipped with an alignment feature for perfect placement of images and text. The printed sticker sheet is aligned onto the green Standard Cutting Mat, followed by prompts, and the finished sticker can be placed on a variety of items, such as a candle.
For a step-by-step guide on using the Print then Cut feature, check out the author's video tutorial on their YouTube channel. The author used a Cricut Cutting Machine, Home Printer, Cricut Design Space, Cricut Printable Sticker Paper, and a Candle to make a Print and Cut Neighbor Gift.
In Cricut Design Space, print then cut files can be identified by a small printer icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the image. However, it's important to note that the search results do not contain information about the specific person who created the design used as an example for a print-and-cut project.
To eyeball the placement of text between two aligned groups, make sure to group all of the pieces together. Use the Align tool to align the image to the center of the square. By following these tips and tricks, you'll be on your way to creating unique and personalised stickers with ease.
