And this one says just cut, which is what we want. These are actually really small, and it doesn’t matter. Just by the way, if you ever need to edit your text, you can just double click on it and you get your edit box again and you can change whatever you want, but I don’t.

You'll get unlimited access to a huge library of professional content, advanced features in Design Space, and much more. Sometimes they are, like this one, but often there are multiple versions. So this is a single layer cutting and writing, okay? So I’m going to look for Cricut Alphabet, because that is free for everyone to use, whether you have Access or not and I want everyone to be able to make this the same. This should be a free font for everybody, so we can click it.
How to: Save and Share Projects with Design Space®
All right, so this layer here, it’s all ready to go, so we’re just gonna put this down here out of our way. So this will be your certificate and it has two parts to it and one is my name. I’m gonna put my signature in here.
So if I keep scrolling and I’m like, oh, hey, I want a snail too. But I just want the deer, so we’re gonna go up and unselect that one. And I wanna click on insert images. This will put the image onto my canvas so I can manipulate it just like those two hearts that we had. So there’s our cute little deer, our cute little fawn, smelling a flower.
How to: Work With Cricut Smart Paper™
So on some Windows computers, they’re called Chrome HTML or Edge HTML, because they’re pushing the Microsoft Edge browser in Windows, I think. I actually now will put the SVG in the file name to help you find it. The actual video that this came from, this is in a series called jennifermaker.com/svgs.
I didn’t know what color you’re cutting. Again, it goes under the two guides on either side. Make sure it’s under that one, and we press that load-unload button, putting on some light pressure on the mat and it brings it in for us.
It took me several months of using Cricut Design Space everyday before I discovered this little nugget! You can actually move and rotate the items on your mat preview to exactly position your cuts or even pen writing. To reposition, just click (or tap) and drag an item in your mat preview to a new location.
And it is over here in the layers panel, you can see that it’s set to draw, which is what we want. If, for some reason, it wasn’t, you would wanna go up to the line type menu and select draw, okay? ‘Cause we want to use our pen to draw it onto our certificate. So it stores everything you upload. Unless you tell it to delete, it keeps and that’s very useful.
They’re always adding new images. So there’s a variety of different images in here. There’s ones that are free, there are ones that you have to buy, and then there’s ones that are part of Cricut Access. So this is your canvas for working on.
So instead what we do is we flip our mat over like this, onto our surface and we peel our mat away from our project. And it basically just comes off for you, I mean, not always, but oftentimes it does. And it’s perfectly straight, see? You don’t have to do what you designed. You can change your mind at the last minute.
So I’m gonna click writing and it’s gonna show me only fonts that will have a writing option. They’re not just writing, usually. And like I said, I love to design things, so, and I keep all of my free designs in my library.
By the way, when you do slice, make sure you have just two items selected. If you have more than two, it doesn’t work. Okay, so, but we have two, so we’re good.
So you’ll notice the line is still here between the two hearts. So when we go to click, make it, you see this black line here, it’ll cut there. So you’ll have one complete heart and one partial heart, which probably isn’t what you wanted, but maybe it was. No, my best advice here is to play with Cricut Design Space. Press all the buttons and try all the menu items.
And now I can make, use that resize handle to make a tall, skinny heart or a short, chubby heart. But I want to have a normal heart, so I’m gonna undo that and it goes back to there. And let me zoom in so you can see that better.
And you have a cute little frame with your name on it and I signed it. So once I select an image, I get the green box around it like this. That means I’ve selected it and I can then insert it onto my canvas. You’ll notice a little icon with that same image shows up here. You can select more than one at a time, so I can click on that butterfly too, and it shows up right next to it.
