Sure wish I had seen this earlier today. I'm making some invitations that could have been two-sided, but couldn't figure out how to do it, so sucked it up and I'm printing 60 card fronts and 60 inside panels and then will glue. LOL! This video is a KEEPER!!

OH MY GOSH. THANK YOU. I've been looking for how to do this. My previous attempts were always just a little off and drove me crazy. Totally makes sense to set it to 9.25 like that. I can't wait to try it out! And thanks for the bonus information on how to print off fonts even more clearly! That's a problem I just started noticing this week. You're excellent at explaining and showing all the needed information. Thank you again for taking the time to put this together. :)

PERFECT TUTORIAL! TY 😎

[@thewestcoastkraeers]

This is a big question we get all the time in our group, I am happy there is now a clear tutorial on it that I can share with everyone!

[@LeslieGrantlovefaithhope]

This was one of the coolest tutorials I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you

[@dreamtheanswer]

Thank you so much! Love your cards. I will definitely show my daughter this idea for her marriage plans 😀

[@wendypotgeter]

This was so helpful! Best tutorial on front/ back printing that works.

[@nirvanaelements]

Thank you for the best illustrator hack for great printing, you're awesome!🥰

[@Chrissy_Mad-Scots-Wench]

Beautiful cards, and a very informative video, Karley. Thank You 💕

[@rochelleflores1972]

Thank you so much! Your instructions were so easy to follow.

[@reneebanbury7066]

These turned out amazing & your tutorial was great. Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@jamieforbes8146]

Thank you so much for this walkthrough! So helpful.

[@julielyons7172]

Super job, Karley!

[@LL-ue5vg]

Amazing!!!! Thansks so much?❤❤

[@JoanneSt.Laurent]

This tutorial is superful helpful and easy to follow so thank you so much for sharing! There is one thing I am confused with, when I hit the make button, my front and back designs appear on the same print then cut preview #1 instead of appearing separated the same way on your screen. I'm new to using a Cricut and Design Space so I'm not sure how to resolve this.

Beautiful cards❤

Karley, I also use Epson, so I upped my photo to Glossy photo even though I was using matte Epson paper - it worked

[@KarleyHall]

Thanks for the advice! That would be way simpler. I may need to take a look at my printer driver settings because when I choose glossy and print on matte it completely changes my colors!

[@marlenenicholl6825]

@@KarleyHall I only use Epson paper in my Epson Eco Tank printer - glossy or photo gloss really brightens the color - matte is nice but not as brilliant - I also find that glossy and photo glossy seems to use less ink - it is completely dry when it comes out of the printer - with matte, if you accidentally get a bit of glue on your paper, it can be hard to get off - it will remove color if you aren’t careful - but with glossy you can use a glue eraser with no problem - I make lots of greeting cards and am very fussy how they look

Im tryin to make a booklet thats 4x6 when folded, so 8x6 to print, but im having trouble getting the images to line up. How can i do this with that size?

[@dinaauger3538]

Great tutorial Karley! Thanks! One question I have is if I am printing an activity booklet that is 6x7.5 (so only one page per side will fit) do I even need a template or DS will just align them at the same point in the upper corner and as long as I don't move them they should cut just fine?

[@conniescraftycorner2826]

Where did you get the templet for the design?

[@lannlucas52]

I have a save the date card my daughter's step daughter has okayd me to make since she is not well versed in Cricut at all. Yours is more complicated than the one I have to make(bride to designed it in Canva) but the design of the card is a Grecian urn. Is it possible to actually cut that out? Im guessing I should use an offset around the urn like you would in a sticker design. Any suggestions you have would be wonderful to hear....thx

[@ImD3VI]

Odd Mine doesnt seem to align to the center. It likes to hug the top so its not aligning :/

[@deniserichardson5379]

Beautiful Card! I use a silhouette and have the same print quality issues; any suggestions on how to resolve the print quality in Silhouette. Also, any videos on designing in AI and moving designs into Silhouette to print and cut? Silhouette doesn't use CMKY so my colors when printed are off.

[@KarleyHall]

I would suggest saving your design as a PDF and print from another program to see if that helps. I haven’t had as many issues printing from Silhouette studio but I will play around and see what I can find out for you!

[@eugeniayang796]

Do I have to use 9.25 for the width? I am trying to make 2 cards of 5x7 on one sheet of paper. Thanks!

[@KarleyHall]

I have not been able to print 2 5x7s on cricut! Just on silhouette!

[@JayneMcQuayParks]

how did you get it to preview the print then cut on two separate* papers (separate being double-sided, but it shows in preview as two papers, 1 & 2). I followed all your instructions but it's showing mine all on one paper.

[@KarleyHall]

I’m not sure I understand your question. You only need to preview one side since you only cut once.

[@CelticKatt]

When I print from PDF and keep scaling 100%, the top and bottom of the alignment brackets (I already forgot what they're called lol. Registration marks?) are cut off. I have the brackets on the sides of the page, but not the top and bottom. I can't figure out why. They're within the printable margin so it's not making sense to me. Gah!

[@thehallhive9425]

Update: (also, this is my other account so the original comment was mine too lol)... It only does it when I tell it to do the auto double sided print. So weird! But at least I can still flip It manually and have it work properly. I'm excited to do my test cut now in the machine! Program designing is so much better than Design Space designing!

[@elleluella4565]

DO you happen to have a video on how to do that hack if printed from a canva design? I don’t know why the quality goes down so much on cricut

[@KarleyHall]

Same process! Upload the pdf to canva and line up your design and print from there!

[@elleluella4565]

@@KarleyHall I will try that! You make it look so easy though. I know canva pretty well but had never been able to figure out a hack like this!

[@LL-ue5vg]

13 mins for second hack.

[@ritawadick5859]

A huge thank you Karley. I have watched so many tutorials on double sided cards and they have always been a little bit off. I am wanting to print my own business cards so will give your method a go, as the your whole process makes sense. May I ask, why did you use 9.25inches? I will be using an A4 sheet so need to work out what size square I need. I look forward to hearing from you and watching more of your videos. Once again thank you so much

[@KarleyHall]

Thanks for the great comment! Honestly, 9.25” was a guess based off of the old print then cut max parameters. They used to be 9.25” x 6.75” so those are always my go to measurements since I can’t seem to remember the new measurements. Those are the letter size dimensions- so A4 will be slightly different. You can play around with your max print then cut size by rescaling a rectangle set to print then cut until you get an “image warning” on your layers panel. It’ll say your image is too large and even give you the option to auto resize. Then you can use that dimension to build your template! Hope this helps!
