Contour allows you to remove pieces from your design quickly and easily. This option in the layers panel on the right hand side of the screen at the bottom allows you to select parts of the design you do not want to cut.
A simple and easy process to adjust your design.
I was asked how to create a 3d project in Sure Cuts a Lot.
Here is a link to a great video on how to do this in Cricut Design Space
Here is the video
The print & Cut feature in Cricut Design Space is a great feature. Here are some tips to take it to another level. Add foil (using Cricut Foil Tool) use pens, add an offset or combine some of these options to create a unique card.
Step by step instructions to achieve unique and amazing cards.
I saw a video by Jennifer Maguire on making fold over bookmarks with dies. Just loved the idea so played to make some on my Cricut.
Since making this video Design Space has added an offset feature so this can now all be done in Design Space,
You can use and word(s) and font that you like, have fun.
With version 6.6xx of Cricut Design Space a new feature has been added to create offsets. You can add an offset (another layer) to text, shapes and images. You can also create an inset, (a smaller layer).
It is a great feature and something I have missed in Design Space compared to other design programs.
Offset allows you to create things like this bookmark I recently made.
With version 6.6xx of Design Space you are now able to add your projects to Collections. There are more options if you pay for Cricut Access, either way this is a great option for for easily finding your projects.
The process is simple just follow the video.
Although you can save any project in Cricut Design Space finding the file again can sometimes be time consuming.
I use a simple Word document table to save the project details and links so that I use the search facilities in Word to find what I am looking for.
Simply be consistent with your information and searching for one of project becomes very easy. The file can be saved on your computer, Google Docs, One Drive or any other cloud storage so you can share between devices.
This will make searching for that specific project simpler and easier.
