I love these type of videos. What is the best printer ink jet or laser jet

[@CraftWithSarah]

I have an ink jet but I'm not sure which is better as I haven't used a laser printer before.

[@suzimaggard7613]

I always learn so much from your videos! Thank you. I can't wait to try this.

[@CraftWithSarah]

Hi Suzi, thank you for your lovely comment :) I hope you enjoy making personalized wall art!

[@TC-vt1ml]

Thank you so much for this video. I wanted to order a picture like this from Etsy but the shop had stopped taking orders... now I have made my own :)

[@briengland2641]

[@CraftWithSarah]

Very helpful thanks. Just need time to have a play x

Have fun! :)

Hi Sarah, Luv your videos. I was thinking of buying a Canon PIXMA PRO-200, do I need a good printer like this for printing? What type of paper should I use, I was thinking of archival photo paper or is glossy paper as good? Regarding the Cricut machine, which model would you recommend? Thanks again.

[@CraftWithSarah]

Hi Pat, I think it depends a bit on if you are making for personal use or if you are going to be selling your creations. If you are going to be selling then I'd recommend the highest quality paper out of those two. I just make for personal use and find glossy photo paper is fine. I personally like the Cricut Maker best. I have a Maker 3 but still always use my original Maker as I think it cuts better. For printers, I have a Canon PIXMA ix6850 and I like it.

[@Poppypops88]

Hi. Do I need a sublimation printer for this or a regular printer? Thanks x

[@CraftWithSarah]

A regular printer as it's just printed onto cardstock or photo paper and then put in a frame :)

[@kyleighrickards4911]

Great video. Do you know how I could print these on pre folded greeting cards? As it prints the black line which I don’t need. Thank you x

[@CraftWithSarah]

If you don't need to cut it with a Cricut, it would be better to design it in something like Canva, then it wont' do the black lines and you can size it to fit on your greetings cards.

[@dianebrill9740]

Hi Sarah I love how easy it is to upload the clipart in your tutorial onto Design Space and move the clipart around to make the picture. Are there any other programmes beside Design Space that make it that easy? I would like to do A4 or larger pictures and I'm not sure that the Cricut machine would be able to print them if they were that large.

[@CraftWithSarah]

Hi Diane, Canva is a great website for designing and they have a free version. You can size the designs however big you want to make them in there.

[@dianebrill9740]

@@CraftWithSarah Thanks, I'll have a look. 😀

[@mandiwolfe6631]

So after I get a subscription membership to the website that has the individual image pieces, I also need to get a membership on Design Space? Do I have to get a Cricut to use Design Space? I apologize for multiple questions, but I'm so interested in making these!

[@CraftWithSarah]

Hi Mandi, if you are just wanting to print and frame this style of graphic then you don't need a Cricut machine - you can design them in a different program like Canva or Photoshop. This video was for Cricut owners which is why I did it in Design Space (the Cricut software). Design Space is free, but you need a Cricut to be able to cut with it.

[@mandiwolfe6631]

@@CraftWithSarah ahhhh, that makes sense. I will try to find a tutorial using photoshop instead. If I were to get a cricut, what kind did you use in this video? I notice they have a few different ones. Now that you've been using yours, would you still get the same one or would you choose a different one? Very enticing to up my crafting skills with that type of machine. I already thought up tons of stuff I could do with it and I don't even have one, haha.

[@CraftWithSarah]

@@mandiwolfe6631 I have a Cricut Maker :) I would definitely still get that one as it's the one that has the most options in terms of blade/tool attachments and it's their "top of the range" model.

[@marialop2992]

I want to make something like this but without the boy. I was also wondering, do I need a color printer, or can I do this with color on my cricut explorer air 2. I’m new to crafting and I just got my cricut.

[@CraftWithSarah]

You can choose the graphics you want to add from the link under the video. You will need a colour printer to print it out, as they are "print and cut" images, not SVG files.

[@marialop2992]

@@CraftWithSarah thank you

[@lisabaxter7781]

Hi could you possibly tell me what the software is called please. Would love to make some just for own personal use rather than selling x

[@CraftWithSarah]

This is Cricut Design Space. If you don't have a Cricut machine then I recommend using something like Canva instead.

[@colleenlawrence6499]

Cute idea for gifts. Thank you. Now I need a color printer!!!:)

[@CraftWithSarah]

It would make lovely gifts - ideal for Christmas :)

[@cheryleggett]

loving the tutorials...THANK YOU I've just done 1 and when printed it doesn't look as professional as I would expect if I was to buy a print, Is that something to do with my printer? I only have a hp envy 5010 🙈 thanks x

[@CraftWithSarah]

Check your printer settings and make sure you are printing on high quality and set the paper type to what you are using, e.g. glossy photo paper, and that might help to improve the print quality.

[@kirstyleigh4399]

I really want to start making these cute photos, I’ve figured out how to download the packs however my chrome book doesn’t support any of the apps to actually make it. Do you know any laptops that would let me use the correct software to do this?

[@CraftWithSarah]

It's because Chromebooks run on the Android system rather than a "proper" operating system. Any laptop that runs Windows, or a Mac, should work fine :) Personally, I like HP laptops.

[@kirstyleigh4399]

@@CraftWithSarah perfect thank you! The laptop I’ve been looking to get is a HP I was just worried I would have the same problems as the chromebook. If you don’t mind could you tell me any free programmes I can use for editing these sort of prints? X

[@CraftWithSarah]

@@kirstyleigh4399 Canva would work great, or Photopea which is a free online software similar to Photoshop.

[@Finifer9]

Very nice!

[@CraftWithSarah]

Thank you 🥰

[@kellydignam8270]

Do you know where i would start in able to do the lion family portraits please i cant find anything online 😏

[@CraftWithSarah]

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Can you send me some more details to [e-mail]

[@breannabailey1981]

Where do you get the images from? Like what is the website?

[@CraftWithSarah]

I got them from here: www.creativefabrica.com/designer/lecoqdesign/ref/376509/ (affiliate link)

[@helenschofield6364]

Love this Sarah. I am thinking about starting to make these. Is is a necessity to have a cricut machine? I have downloaded cricut design space which you use but it says you need a machine. Is there a way to do these prints using another design app?

[@CraftWithSarah]

You can make these designs in any graphics program - Photoshop, Canva, PicMonkey, etc. :)

[@helenschofield6364]

Thank you! Sorry I'm back with a few more questions. I have to same printer as you, do you use specific quality ink? Also what paper would you recommend using? Obviously something thicker than regular paper

[@CraftWithSarah]

I use glossy photo paper with cheap compatible printer ink cartridges.

[@jayjay1135]

Hi do you have to pay for each one individually or does a subscription give you access to all of these

[@CraftWithSarah]

On Creative Fabrica, if you get their monthly subscription then you can download all of them :)

[@pankajchandna221]

want to make them in canva, do you have a video for that

[@CraftWithSarah]

Sorry, I don't have a Canva version.

[@KittyMeows2]

How can we save it so we can send it via email?

[@CraftWithSarah]

Unfortunately Design Space doesn't let you save files to be sent by email. If you want to email them then it would be better to design in something like Canva or Photoshop.

[@leighannecasey1244]

Can this be used in the UK

[@CraftWithSarah]

Yes, I am from the UK :)
