Create custom designs using your favorite photos and phrases for sublimation and print then cut projects! Editing photos into letter designs may look intimidating, but it's easier than you think with the right tools! I'll show you how to fill letters with photos in Cricut Design Space using the text tool, the best free fonts, the slice tool, letter spacing, and an offset outline. You can add your designs to anything, but I'll decorate some pillows -- including one with sequins! We'll "hack" the Print then Cut feature to make a custom sublimation design, so you don't have to use any extra software. Watch my complete step-by-step process in this tutorial!

Make sure you are only selecting the two layers you are working with to slice. That is the most common issue. 💗

Question for you - I took my little kitten. i put his photo inside the letters. What I would like to do now is export that creation in Design Space to either a jpg png or such file. I want to add it into a promo material I am creating. Do you know if this can be done??? The export I mean. So in your case "relax" would be a file that you could pick up and use in say a word document

@JenniferMaker Жыл бұрын

Unfortunately you cannot export files from Cricut Design Space. If you want to save your files outside of DS, I would recommend using software that allows you to make SVGs, like Adobe Illustrator , Inkscape or Affinity Designer.

@karenmilloy2107 Жыл бұрын

@@JenniferMaker Actually I found a way to do it!!!! So you take your design. Turn Canvas to blank so you don't have the lines. Then use the windows "snipping" tool to select the area. Save the snip to your downloads folder. Then open up either word or powerpoint. In word, Import the picture. Select the picture. Then select colour. From there select transparent colour. Use the eyedropper tool in that menu to select the white background. This then gives you just the letters with the photo inside. You can then save this picture by right-clicking and choosing save as picture. It can then be used on Facebook, Promo materials etc. And the beauty of it is that you don't need to be an expert in any of the photo programs. Anyone with a basic knowledge of Office tools can accomplish this.
