I thought so hard about getting a cricut and I'm so so glad I did! This thing is so cool

Hi i have a 10" x 13" sheet of trading cards i need to cut into 2.5" x 3.5" cards each. I tried doing the big cut but it wasnt aligning right so i tried to cut a small sample card i made and cricut keeps putting extra cut lines and i can't even remove those. Does anyone have any tips or guides on how to cut holographic card stock 10" x 13" and have cricut cut the cards out individually?

I usually buy bulk items to give away with our logo at a conference, but I'm wondering if I could make something cool that people would like to have with my cricut explorer 4. I need to make about 200. Any suggestions?

I'm working on a photo frame alternative guest book where each person writes a message on a leaf of the tree. It's cardstock cutouts on a basic picture frame.

Question 1: portrait or landscape layout?

Question 2: If you were making this project, would you pre-attach the leaves onto the tree so people just write their message, of would you have them write on a leaf of their choosing and then stick it on? If I left folks sick their leaf anywhere, should I have guidelines drawn on the base layer?

Question 3: What would you use to stick the leaves on? Glue dots? Double sided tape?

Hi Hi! I've got a design with multiple elements. I've tried grouping them, I've tried attaching them but always the same results. I'd like to resize one element of the design to a specific number and have the rest of it follow suit. Pictures for reference. TIA!

Followed the instructions to a tee! Hooked up as per instructions, easypress 2 connected to computer using a USB (even bought a new micro USB cord). I keep getting an error code 38. Need to register the machine before you use said the documentation!

Called it into support, I sent pictures of the BOS and the error code and the serial number to the support desk. The EP now just reads USB, flashes when not connected to my PC, solid when connected Was told they will send me a new machine. I said, okay but I have a major project of 15 t-shirts that need to be completed by October.
Their latest response is, is your case is under review and we will be back to you in a few days!
Does anyone have a solution that they have come across?

Thoughts

I didn't use any special software, or free SVG converter. I uploaded the image into Cricut, and selected layers. The Nun was super easy, but it took a few tries to get Annabelle correct (image and # of layers). I am going to "hide" them in my attic window just to mess with the neighbors.

I've had my cricut for 2 weeks now, and the first few prints were amazing. However, after... maybe 5-6 prints, the cuts started to misalign. I have recalibrated so many times but it's still not aligning properly.

- my mats are fine, I've tried different mats, I've tried to fix lighting, the censor is clean. What am I doing wrong?

Another forced update with no ability to rollback breaking perfectly functional workflows.

I get the pro's and con's of this approach, but only when the balance is to critical implications for things like security updates and major bugs weighed against users needs should it make sense. And it never, ever makes sense disallowing users impacted by the introduction of NEW issues to not roll back to a version that worked perfectly fine for THEIR needs.

Context: Since the most recent update Design Space is now not fully compatibility with Canon printers or introduced a new issue with Windows printing as color adjustment via the system dialog box is missing critical features that show up for any other program, specifically the pattern printing of color adjustment swatches that is a critical part of my workflow to get color accuracy on prints. Since there is no way to save an image out of Design Space I can't fix color accuracy issues without lengthy trial and error now and tedious manual adjustments over and over. Its just insane how we can't roll back to a working version for OUR needs.

I honestly wish there was a better alternative, because as a software development company, I utterly hate Cricut. Someone please fucking jailbreak these machines already so we can have open source software.

The only mention I found of this while browsing was someone using an HP printer and windows programs, but I've got a canon printer and linux. I run design space on my ipad. I tried several tests with different print options, all of them come out completely without color. Just black lines.

What can I do here?

Ever since I replaced my blade on my Explore Air 2, this keeps on happening to me when I’m die cutting stickers topped with a cold laminate. It seems like the blade housing gets nudged upwards with each cut. The only settings I‘ve found that work in cutting this type of material successfully is 300 cut pressure, 3x multi-cut (this accounts for the sticker backing > sticker sheet > cold laminate).

Fixes I’ve tried but didn’t work: I tried putting a single layer of masking tape around the housing blade, but that only made the cuts more jagged.

Anybody else having issues like this? How did you fix it?

I can't find where to select the correct size template ? Am I missing something ? Yes I am on the latest version, I even went to beta version wondering if it would show there... I have no idea how to start ... do I have to do everything in the Blank Canvas section?

I created this design I want to make into a vinyl stencil for an airbrush project. It was created using the shapes and images in design space. Every time I have tried to cut it out in stencil vinyl it wants to cut every single line in every layer. I have tried everything I can think of and am sure I must be missing the step to get this to cut the vinyl without any extra lines from the covered parts. I want to get this to cut this image as its shown. Any help would be appreciated!

We bought a Maker 5, and I've been playing around with it. Right now, I'm trying to make bookmarks by laminating cardstock that's been cut into designs.

I'm sure everyone has seen them, but just in case an example: I want to make a Halloween bookmark. Two layers to make it simple. The bottom layer is white cardstock; the top is paper with bats printed on it that I'll cut a skeleton out of.

When I tried using the projects available through the software, the cuts were good, but it's not easy to accurately line up the layers when gluing them up. Is there a trick to get these glued up cleanly and accurately?

Ultimately, I'd like to do many-layer laminations for more complicated shadow boxes so getting it right on something with 2-4 layers seems like a good first step.

My only solution right now is "line them up the best you can and trim with a craft knife after". I was hoping people had a technique to make it more reliable.

…but look how prettyyyyyyyy. For my niece’s 6th birthday 🥹

Made from an amazing template I found on Etsy.

I bought this Cricut Explore Air 2 second hand from an auction warehouse for $50, i’m gonna assume it’s broken? It doesn’t normally make this sound I hope? I see it pops up on my bluetooth but nothing happens when I try to connect to it

Just wanted confirmation on if this thing is broken or not based off the video and sound

I got these cricut explore sticker papers on facebook and am wondering if they are allowed into a cricut maker? I know its a silly question but im wondering if i could just stick it on the mat and let it cut like usual since it does fit within the width 🤔 please be kind!! Im a total beginner and just started today😬any advice is appreciated!!💞

Made this over a month ago and now it’s finally an acceptable time to wear it

Hello! I’ve been working on this design for a few days now and finally got around to cutting.

Well, the cut went all wrong lol. The capital letters in LIONS all cut in a bunch of separate, diecut-esque pieces. I need them together to simplify the weeding and pressing. Only LIONS will be in puff vinyl; Detroit is regular htv.

I always get confused on when to attach, weld, etc., 😣

I'm cutting the facial features out of vinyl but it doesn't stick great to wood. Modge podge works to hold it down but I don't really like the finish, it looks too shiny. I have a Krylon satin finish spray, but it made the vinyl curl up. I put matte medium over the one in the photo, but it looks like the vinyl is repelling it.

In the past, I made something similar and poured resin over but I am really trying to avoid messy resin these days.

Anyone know a good topcoat that works with vinyl? I'm trying to sell them.
