Hello litttle craft nest I just stumbled upon your videos and I have watched two so far and you breezed through the processes in a very simple manner. I will for more of your videos. Do you have videos on cutting multiple layers with several colors.

[@littlecraftnest]

I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. Here is one you may like, it’s a multi layer Heat Transfer Vinyl project that shows you how to layer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3qWdo2ldqp8gtU In my back to school project video I show some tips on how to layer adhesive vinyl. You can watch it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3y7Zp2gZZhjhJY If your interested in cutting out different colours of vinyl on the same mat you can learn about the Snap Mat function here kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYKthHRtqthsjK8 Happy Crafting!

Very helpful! If I upload a jpeg image and duplicate, the contour button can't be clicked. Could you tell me what I need to do so I can multi layer for different colors? Thanks for your help!

Hi thank you for such and easy follow video.its helped me alot but I wondered how does it cut it out like that?x

[@littlecraftnest]

Glad you enjoyed it. Each colour would cut out on a separate mat and then you would piece your pieces together like a puzzle. If you wanted to do print then cut you would first need to flatten your image together, have your printer print it and your Cricut cut around it.

[@ronniewood1244]

Question how do you cut it ?

[@littlecraftnest]

The same way you would cut anything else. If you were cutting vinyl you would cut each colour out on a separate mat and then layer the images together. Check out this video to learn how to layer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3y7Zp2gZZhjhJY It' at the 3:42 mark.

[@xb0261]

After choosing your colors and layering do you go to make it to cut it out?

[@littlecraftnest]

Yes

[@xb0261]

Do all the colors cut at the same time for the layering? If that makes sense or do I have to use individual colors for each layer?

[@littlecraftnest]

If you were to cut out your image using vinyl, for example, you would pick your corresponding vinyl colors, and each color of vinyl would cut out on a separate mat.

I uploaded a screenshot of my friend logo. I removed the background in PhotoRoom. I am following your steps. I duplicated the uploaded image because it has working and an image. Why is design space not allowing me the options in the bottom right corner like your screen is showing?

[@littlecraftnest]

The only thing I can think of is maybe there is no negative space within the design. If the background is removed but there are no “holes” in the design, you won’t be able to contour.

@@littlecraftnest Then there is thing I just watched on your page. Photo to SVG file. I think I need to convert it 👀
