The new CTMH Flower Market cartridge was released a few weeks ago.

This handbook is available exclusively to the members of my Facebook Cricut Explore and More

CRICUT: Design Space - slicing text into two layers

A question in my Facebook group today prompted me to put this quick video together. It quickly demonstrates how to slice text into two layers.

As text is made up of individual letters, Design Space sees those letters as individual objects when it comes to slicing. And you can only slice two objects as a time. The video goes through the process of welding the text to make it one object.

You would use the method to slice into more than two layers. (For example if your image had several shadows/offsets.)

Just remember that once you weld text in Design Space it converts it to an image. And that means you'll no long be able to edit it. So be sure you have your text exactly how you want it before welding. Once you close your Design Space project you will no longer be able to use the Undo feature to unweld the text.

CRICUT: iOS Design Space app update

Today a Design Space iOS app was released in the App store.

This app adds Offline functionality and a new feature called SnapMat.

With Offline you can select images and projects and download them to your iPad/iPhone and use them without being connected to the internet.

So now, using the iOS app (not available in the Desktop version of DS) you'll be able to design and cut without an Internet connection. You'll be able to download images and fonts and save projects to your iPad/iPhone.

And if you have a Cricut Access subscription you'll be able to download fonts and images included in Cricut Access and use them offline.

More info on the offline feature here:

User Manual: http://help.cricut.com/sites/default/files/2016-08/Offline%20User%20Manual%20iOS_0.pdf


SnapMat is a great feature that allows you to use up those scraps of paper that you have been storing! You'll also be able to cut around (or inside) photos, patterned paper and stamped images.

If you need to write on an envelope or tag or card... SnapMat can help.

Here's the link to the FAQ and User Manual for SnapMat.

CRICUT: Using the Slice and Contour features to adapt a SVG

Remember the Dreaming Tree SVG challenge we had over at Cricut Explore and More last more? You can see all the fabulous entries in this post:


For my version of the project I used the Slice and Contour features to change it up a bit.

I put together a video that shows how I did that. I hope you find it helpful. ☺




Happy crafting!  ♥
