Cricut Design Space How to write a paragraph on the inside of a card using CDS

[@faywalker2431]

Thank you. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. I was also able to figure out how to write a message for the inside of the pre folded cricut cards for the card mate. Fay

Thank you very much been trying to find a way for 6 years someone just told me about Cricut and now I got an idea, thanks for the straightforward information. I’ve subscribed and wish you well. God bless

[@maryconradi8838]

The clearest demo I have seen !!!!!

[@shirleeschnieder4261]

Loved your video. Someone may have already had this suggestion but I didn't see it. I make the rectangle for the card and after finding the place for my message and just before I make it, I hide the rectangle and it doesn't cut it out. I can unhide it to check myself if I need to. I can match up the lines to see where to place my verse so I don't have to guess.

So Helpful, I have been trying to add a personal greeting to a Birthday Card! I seriously spent hours and accomplished 0?! Thank you so much for your Ez listening and no rambling!

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

I'm so glad to hear that this video helped you. Yeah, I don't like a lot of rambling either.

[@aseal5511]

Yes there's a way and I did this with envelopes that I drew on them. on the square you have to put it as score instead of cut and you don't insert the score tool, just let the cricut "make believe" it's scoring and you're done. It will write the message, "fooled scoring" and done. I don't use the top of the mat, I set my pieces on the 1 x 1 inch lines and it works perfectly fine.

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

Great advice! Isn't it great to be able to do this! Thanks so much for commenting. It'll help a lot of people out

[@aseal5511]

@@CreationsbyKimberly I actually finally got this after giving up, walking away from the project. I now know how to "fool" the Cricut in doing what I want to do. Love fooling it and yes it's great we can do this. I've learned more how to's on the Cricut, from watching other people like you teaching us the how to's (sorry brain is backwards today). ♥☺

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

@@aseal5511 It's great you're figuring things out! No worries about the backwards brain. I have those days too.

Hi Kim. OMG how interesting and fun was your share!! I so enjoyed your Creative process and seeing everything you were designing and creating.....it is lots of fun to do this and I love this feature of CDS...your Tutorial is Outstanding and it’s great you did this because there are lots of CDS users who a newbies and are search for HELP doing this!! So YEP thanks for your Spectacular Tutorial and sharing your Tremendously Terrific Tips, Tricks & Techniques!! YOU SO ROCK!! Joan Smith

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

I do love that you can do this. It takes time for the Cricut to print but it's worth it.

[@eileenshalam7096]

Hi thank you for the video after you put your text in if you see you made a mistake on a word how do you go back and fix it do you have to erase the whole thing since it’s all one image

[@mrscoolwhipp]

This was super helpful!!! Thank you so much! :)

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

Fantastic. Let me know if you need anymore help!

[@colleenholliday9208]

I’m trying to just writ on 5x3 cards to make flash cards. Will this technic be the same?

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

I believe it will. Email me if you need extra help.

[@beverly7710]

I messed mine up as I had to move the text closer together - which I did. However after that I didn't know how to separate the text box from the card and couldn't make the text box smaller because the card was always selected, not the text - which I was unable to select. Got in a muddle and gave up. Once you have done something wrong, I couldn't find a way out, so I quit. I am very new to this, (only owned my machine a week) but do have knowledge of Office Suite, which helped in some ways. BTW your design space appears to have more 'workable' area visible than mine - the bar on the r/h side takes up too much room. Maybe because I have a newer version?

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

I'm sorry to hear that you had those struggles. If it gives you piece of mind, I've been using Cricut Design Space for over 10 years and occasionally do struggle with the features it offers. Make sure you allow the updates. Don't give up. Trust me, once you get the hang of it you'll absolutely love it. I'm not sure what you're referencing regarding the "workable" space...if you'd like to send me a screen shot or picture of some sort I can help you resolve it. Sent it to my email address: [e-mail].

[@6942pjka]

This is what I was looking for except I need to score the blank cards I bought. I was thinking about stopping the machine too, so if it cuts last, that makes it easy.

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

What type of Cricut machine do you have? I might be able to walk you through it.

@@6942pjka Hang tight. I'll do a quick tutorial on how to do it. It's hard to explain it in writing. I'll let you know when it uploads.

[@6942pjka]

@@CreationsbyKimberly thank you! Wasn’t expecting a personal video, lol.

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

@@6942pjka Ok. The video is uploaded. I hope this helps!

[@Kateseyes]

Hi Kim, This was very helpful, thank you. One thing I am having trouble with is when I make a card, I want to draw a boarder on the card, when I attach it, for some reason I can see the Grus behind the card and it says it will draw and cut.... so I tried it and it does draw the line, but it then cuts it off. What am I doing wrong? Kate

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

Let me see if I can help you. Assuming you have created a card on your mat make sure you change the line type of the border from “cut” to “draw”. Then attach it to each other. Let me know if you need further help.

Just can’t seem to get this to work on my iPad. Just types one long sentence. Not sure what I should do.

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

Hi Jenifer. I typically use my desk top or lap top but let me see if I can figure it out on the iPad. If I can, I'll be in touch.

Needing help with this on an iPad as well.

[@omairagarcia1137]

I have a problem my design space screen is big and some of the icon can't be seen. Do you know how to make it fit my screen.

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

If you place your cursor on the edge of CDS you'll see it turns into an arrow. Click and hold on that arrow and size it. This can be done on the top, bottom and sides. Hope this helps.

[@carlafurcron1862]

When I try to put my text onto the card, it just turns into a blob.

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

I just checked it out myself. It seems Cricut is having problems with the software cause same thing happened to me...ugh.

[@denisejohnston6243]

I remove my knife when I don't want cuts

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

Smart! Thanks for sharing.

[@regina72865]

The most obvious option and so simple! 🤓 Thanks!

[@PHamm54]

Couldn’t you just remove the “cut” function from the list?

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

Hmmm. I can certainly try. Thank you!

[@Moonchilling]

You can just hide the card
