You’ll find hundreds of ready to make projects too. All Cricut machines use free Cricut Design Space software where you can choose exactly which shapes or images to cut, draw and all of the other functions the machines are capable of. Handily it also automatically determines how much pressure to use based on each specific material you are cutting so there’s no guesswork, and no alterations to make to the machine. So when we click the green make it up here, we go to our Mat Prepare screen. And this is another place for us to double check our work before we continue on.
Introduction to Cricut Maker® 3
Well, there are some other ways actually, but not the way that you just did it. You can’t just go, oh, I decided, you know, like a day later to undo it. Now there’s things that you can do with slice and contour, but we’re not gonna cover those in today’s class. I don’t wanna overwhelm anybody. All right, so let’s go to my blog so I can get a file for you. So I have prepared a file for us to cut together tonight.
What do you want to learn?
So you don’t need any glue or tape or anything, and it goes right into the little corners like this. There’s a little bit of paper there. And all four corners, just like that. And you have a cute little frame with your name on it and I signed it. So this is your canvas for working on.

And when you see that box around it, it means that you selected it and you can work with it. You’ll also see it over here in the layers panel and it will highlight. So when I click away, also the highlight over here goes away. When I click on it again, it’s selected.

So it’s on my blog at jennifermaker.com. So you can just move it wherever you want. If your mat is getting old and busted and it’s, ’cause you’re always cut here, you can move it over here to extend the life of your mat, for example.
Cricut Joy has a simpler app you can also use, to help you create quick projects on the go. Find out more about the Cricut Joy app here. So if you’ve got questions about Cricut Design Space for desktop, please let me know.
You don’t want curled pieces of paper, because paper, whatever, especially a certificate, it should be nice and straight. So instead what we do is we flip our mat over like this, onto our surface and we peel our mat away from our project. And it basically just comes off for you, I mean, not always, but oftentimes it does.
We don’t need to cut four of these, but if you ever wanted to do a bunch of things, that’s really useful and it will fill your mat for you and it will make new mats as necessary. Over here on the left is our font menu and it’s defaulted to Cricut Sans. If we click it, we get access to all of the fonts. Now, just like with the images, we can tell when a font is available for Cricut Access with the little green symbols that we see here. And when it’s not and it costs money, there’ll be a price at it.
How to: Upload Images
Once you change the font, you’ll get changes like that happening, but that looks good. Congratulations to Mr. Maker for completing Cricut Kickoff. That looks a little off to me.
Whenever we upload something that has more than one layer, Cricut automatically groups them. So it’s a great idea to just un-group right away, because it makes it easier. Just get into the habit of ungrouping them, unless, you know, you’re following a tutorial that says, just go for it and click make it, ’cause I have lots of tutorials like that. But for this one, I want you to ungroup them because that allows us to operate and use these layers independently, which is important. All right, so this layer here, it’s all ready to go, so we’re just gonna put this down here out of our way. So this will be your certificate and it has two parts to it and one is my name.
It’s not really a grid, the spectrum, the shader. You can also use this one down here to get lots of different colors. Templates is a feature that’s only available on desktop and clicking on it lets you choose a template to help you design something. Once you choose a template, it will put the outline onto your canvas for you. You can even resize it to be a different size, if you want. Click in the size boxes at the top of the menu to resize it.
So now we have the ungroup option here, so I’m gonna click that and now they operate independently again. So once I select an image, I get the green box around it like this. That means I’ve selected it and I can then insert it onto my canvas.
You can also resize up here if you would like. All right, so I want to align this to be centered, so I’m gonna go to the alignment menu right here. And you’ll notice that once I’ve selected my text box, there’s this whole sub menu of things here.
