If you have a Joy or Explore, you would wanna choose those. When you set up your machine, it shows this for you, but if you have more than one you can choose between them, and it will make a difference. It keeps track of the sizing and whether you have the tools for that sort of thing. But we have that, we’re set to the Maker right now and so if I go to line type, I get a whole bunch of options on what I can do with this heart. So I can cut it, which is the default. And if I do that, I just get an outline, because this is just gonna draw around the outline.
PREPARE SCREEN
Okay, let’s show you what not to do. If you go like this and just peel it off. What you get is curled a piece of paper.

Q: Will Design Space for Desktop be free or paid?
I truly love to see your creations. So grouping is an organizational thing, but it doesn’t really keep the things together on your mat. If you need to keep things together on your mat, you need to use attach. We have our certificate layer here and then we have our frame. This is our frame for our certificate and we are ready to go.
SELECTING AN IMAGE
And the minus will make the view of your design smaller, so if you need to get in there and see fine details. All right, so here’s our heart. When we click on it, that means that we’re selecting it. So if I click away, you’ll see that that box that was around it disappears, and when we click on it, the box comes back and it goes all around the edges of the image. And when you see that box around it, it means that you selected it and you can work with it.
Text Button
It seems a little bit big, so let’s make that a little smaller. Now, what I’d like to do is join these two hearts together permanently. So I’m gonna kind of offset them like this and create a new shape that looks like two hearts together. Now, right now, they’re two separate hearts.
CRICUT ACCESS
We can tell because when I click on them, the border is around that each one individually and over in the layers menu, I have one heart here and one heart here. And even though I’ve arranged them the way that I want, they will not cut out this way yet. We have to give our Cricut more instruction than this. So when we’re ready to make a project, we click on the green make it button here in the upper right-hand corner. So I’m gonna go ahead and click that. So when we click the green make it up here, we go to our Mat Prepare screen.
Templates Button
So all we’re gonna do is select all of this everything that we want to be attached, to stay together, and we’re going to click the attach button down here in the lower right. And now it’s all attached and ready to go. And just to make sure I’ve explained, I don’t remember if I explained this part yet, this is my third class today. One, we need to resize it so it fits onto our yellow certificate card. All right, so let’s first resize it. So about there, and then we click and drag it over to our card.
It won’t like open up magically in Design Space, which would be wonderful, but it doesn’t do that. Instead, we need to go back to Design Space. So I’m going to click on upload over here on the left and I click on that and we get several options. The one that we care about is this one that says image, and this is where you can upload images, right here with this button. By the way, down here are all the images I’ve uploaded recently.
This tutorial is for Desktop users (Mac or PC). If you are on an iOS device or an Android you will need to go to your app store to get the Cricut Design Space app. Once you have your machine out of the box (find a helpful guide to set up Cricut Maker 3 or set up Cricut Explore 3), the next step is to figure out how to use the software.
Now, don’t just rip it off because you have a lot of little detail here. So I just go in here with my finger. If you wanna use your spatula tool, you can too, but it’s usually fine. You don’t wanna just rip it off because you might accidentally just, you know, rip it.
Get links to those classes at cricutkickoff.com. Now my Mac extracted it for me, but on Windows, I think most people have to do an extra step and you notice, it says .zip on it. So to unzip it, we right click on it and we do extract all, all right? So you’re right clicking with your mouse and doing extract all. The Projects area is where Cricut displays its many Ready-to-Make projects You can just browse to find something you like. Below that is a row called “Featured Images” from Cricut, highlighting images that Cricut thinks you may find useful.
And so it’s a good idea to pay attention to where it’s going so you don’t lose it. And then you go ahead and extract it, and it will look like this once it’s opened up. That Mac OSX folder you can ignore. The file that was below it, that’s the one that has all the goodies in it. So if you double click on that one or just choose open, you will see that inside there are the files that we want, and you’re looking for the SVG file. The Upload button allows you to upload a variety of images to your Canvas.
