After 4 years of owning a Cricut Air 2 I still hadn't tried cutting on design space using an iPhone, so I thought it was about time! And I filmed the process as I tried it, so anyone else who is thinking of buying a Cricut, or wants to try out Design Space on an iPhone can see what it is like to use.
It is quite similar to using an iPad too so if you want to check out my video on that, you can watch that here: • How To Use Cricut Desi...
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments, or any other tips for cutting decals on an iPhone.

Yes I did find it very helpful! I am trying to decide if i should cross over to Cricut . I have a very old first generation Cameo that still cuts fine but was intrigued by the mobile app Cricut has. I think i may invest in the Joy machine and use the mobile app with it. Thanks for the overview and tutorial!😊

@VinylDecalSchool 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for watching! And that sounds like a good plan if you still have your Cameo as well. If you want to know a bit more about the different Cricut machines and what I recommend a Joy for then I do have this Cricut comparison video here as well: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nc1jZKZmv9Kaj5c.html if that helps with the decision :) Happy Crafting!

Can you upload your own logo onto the cricut app for cutting purposes?

@VinylDecalSchool 29 күн бұрын

You can yes, you will need a transparent png if you want to cut out of vinyl or htv, or you can add an offset and flatten if you want to make a sticker.

Can I use the pen feature with iPhone app? If so, how? Thank you. Loved this video

@VinylDecalSchool Жыл бұрын

You can - where it says ‘Operation - Basic cut’ along the bottom line, you need to change that to ‘Draw - Pen’ and then pick the pen type you will be using. It’s best to find thin lined fonts/pictures for this as well otherwise you end up with an outline rather than something that looks like writing

No it’s not the same app, you need a different one for desktop. If you google Cricut design space using the computer you want to use, then it should take you to a page that will give you the correct link to download Design Space for desktop.

Is it worth it to buy one if you only have a phone right now ? And also will there be a app update for adding the white around it (forgot what that was called)

@VinylDecalSchool 2 жыл бұрын

It honestly depends what you want to make with it. For pre-made designs that you buy or get from Cricut access, or really simple wording then I think a phone is fine, but as soon as you want to start creating anything more complicated or at a faster pace then it might cause issues. And I don't think they have announced when offset will be added to the app as far as I'm aware, but here is a tutorial for an alternative app you can get that does it: createswithlove.com/offset-text-wireless-devices/

@cake I have a cricut air and only use my phone! I make complex images, I have only used a pre-made image a couple times . I do mostly shirts and have not had any problems! Just takes some learning of where all the options are and you might need a couple outside apps for different uses in Ds but I think you'll like it much better! Just make sure to save everything to the cloud and not to the device so that if you do go to use a laptop or home computer you'll be able to access it. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out!! I'm no expert but can do my best to help! I started with the cricut expression about 15 or so yrs ago and taught myself! I wish they had youtube or access to help like they do now!!

Thank you so much for this! i really need help asap.😭Cricut customer service is not very helpful. It says on their website that you can use the ios app without internet, but when i put my iphone on airplane mode my cricut app doesnt load? My cricut explorer air 2 is another city and I wont have internet access. I was wondering if you can assist me with this query. You reckon once I reach my destination and pair my iphone with my cricut app, my designs pace app can work without internet connection? I have all my files on my device and have logged into my account. I just wont be able to have internet access in another location and i really need to do a project! Can you pls try it on your app while your mobile is paired to the bluetooth on cricut without internet and let me know if it works offline.🙏🏼would highly appreciate a response ! thanks again🙏🏼

@VinylDecalSchool 2 жыл бұрын

So you're trying to print and cut something? Or do you want to just cut it and not print? If it's print and cut then you may need to set up your printer elsewhere in your phone. If you want to cut, you will need to change the setting by clicking the edit box along the bottom of design space, and then change the operation to 'basic cut'. If it's neither of those things then you may need to get in touch with cricut as sounds like it could be a software problem. Hope that helps!
