HOW YOU CAN STILL DO THE KNOCKOUT TEXT IN CRICUT DS AFTER CRICUT DISABLED THE SAVE FEATURE | 2 WAYS

[@heidimaendel5746]

silhouette has sooo many more options but i had a cricut explore air2 already and really liked it. so i downloaded the silhouette program, did my design in there and used the snipping option to save my image and use in cricut design. I traced it and pressed offset. you can change the size of the offset. worked great!! thanks for the snipping option. I've been using the screen caption and than had to go and crop it first.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Awesome!! :)

[@chrissykaley7027]

I was experimenting a little and found you can save a step and turn off the grid in Design Space to use your snipping tool in there...just go to settings and turn off grid. Thank you for all your help and information!!! Your tutorials are my favorite to watch.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Chrissy Kaley oh wow! I don’t know why I didn’t even think of that!! Thanks for the tip. 🥰 and thank you so much!!

[@roxscardsncrafts2513]

Chrissy Kaley , how would you thicken it though ?

[@mireyar.8027]

Thank you!!! I could not figure out a way to do these once Cricut updated. Just a tip for everyone. If you have the cricut app you can upload the image from there. It's easier. Not sure if someone said this already in the comments. Thank you again!! :)

[@ChrystalBright]

Very helpful for this beginner. You went a little fast.But I was able stop and rewind (several times), and once I got it...I think I got it!!

[@pjjosephgiss]

This was a great video but LOTS of steps! I feel like I need to be taking notes while I watch. Thanks so much for putting it together💜

[@ruthmatthews85]

I've spent four days during this pandemic trying to figure out the knockout thing and finally came across your video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. First I couldn't save the bleed; then the slice option wasn't there. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

I'm SO glad my video was helpful!! 🥰Cricut Design Space makes it difficult but thankfully there is a work around to make it work!

[@karlabrown5256]

Thank you - I’m a Cricut newbie and your videos are extremely helpful - very detailed! I truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Thank you so much!!! I'm really glad they are helpful :)

[@christinacorgnell7612]

I’ve never really tried doing this technique until now. The Phonto app is really cool and makes this so easy to do. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Christina Corgnell I really love using the Phonto app! It definitely makes it easier! :)

[@ivelissealbino4264]

Thank you for showing how to do the knockout. Looks difficult to me, but I will go step by step with a lot of patience and hopefully I can create it like you did. Thank you again for your time and effort to teach others like me. God bless you!

[@AngelofH08]

Hey so I saved the font to phonto, but I did both the final font and the blob looking one in photo to ensure they were exactly the same. I saved them in the phonto app and then opened the cricut app and uploaded the images and removed the background spaces and saved there. Then on my computer I just went go the upload folder and there it was. No need to save to dropbox or email yourself. Just upload straight to cricut on your phone then open it on the computer. I didnt have to close design space and reopen it or anything to refresh it was just there. So that was cool. Phonto was definitely alot quicker and easier and better quality than doing it on the computer. It did take alot longer on the computer too. Hope this helps yall!!

[@jennyelisa4332]

They is awesome. I am so new that I bought a cricut months ago and haven’t used it😒 but it would be nice to show the machine how it cuts and how you apply to whatever surface. Start to finish fit us newbies

[@vt2586]

Thank you!!!! This was so much more helpful and less confusing than the others I've seen. Took many hours to try to get 1 done. But now I see the light at the end of the tunnel!

[@paulafaivre357]

You could skip the whole dropbox part by uploading it to Cricut on your phone. Very helpful video, thank you!

Thank you. I've watched several knockout videos and yours is so thorough and easy to follow. Can you do a video using inkscape? I would really appreciate it. You are an excellent teacher

Hi Kayla!

I tried do the second option in the dafont app but when I do everything don’t show me the option open in the app I’m using a Mac and a iPhone

[@brandievaleri2911]

You can just upload the image into the Cricut app on a blank canvas on your iPhone/iPad. Then it’s in your uploaded images and you can access it on your computer. You don’t need to send it and upload it to your computer. The uploaded images follow the account. I also type the regular (non shadow) I love glitter writing in fonto and upload it so I don’t have to mess with the spacing issues in design space.

Hello!!! New here!! I just ordered my cricut i cannot wait until it arrives to use your tips!

[@roxscardsncrafts2513]

Hi Kayla, thank you for this update, when I did this a couple of weeks ago, it worked perfectly, since then, I updated DS to v5.6.19 and now when you bring the shadow in ( using I Love glitter) it brings it in very messy, seems we can't win. I'm an Inkscape user anyway, so to me it's fine, but for others who have learnt this in the past, Cricut changed the rules yet again. have you tried this method since this latest update?? I would love to know. I see you are doing this on the BETA v5.2.14

Kayla which Cricut are you using? Whenever I change No fill to Print then Make It, I get a Project Incompatible message (This project is not supported by your current machine selection. To resolve, select OK and adjust affected layers.) ????? Also, I'm using a HP laptop....

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Hi! My guess is the image is too large. When it's set to print the cut, the max it can be is 9.25" x 6.75" were you able to get it to work?

[@amberguyer]

I've been struggling with this for days. Your video is helpful. My problem is not misunderstanding what you're doing. I've been using Cricut software to weld, and slice since the beginning. I do all these steps exactly but when I hit slice the sliced part changes its size and then when I go to put the font in place it doesn't line up.. no matter how much I try resizing it. It's like the sliced opening warps somehow after I hit slice and the original font will not fit anymore. I've tried it the print and cut way and I also tried it by making the shadow by hand using the duplicate method. I am at a loss for why it does this to me. No one I ask has any advice. It seems to always work out perfectly for everyone else. 😢

[@ufoquilter86]

Can you show a picture of the Phonto app that you use? I am not finding it on my android phone. Is the Phonto app something you can use on your laptop?

[@Matilda221]

I feel like you literally could have just duplicated your original text, sliced and deleted and it would've done the same thing without having to go to print and snip and upload and clean up etc. That's what I did initially but came on here to figure out how to make the gap bigger.

[@roxscardsncrafts2513]

@@KaylasCricutCreations I tried skipping a step by NOT taking it as far as sending it to the printer, that is, using your snipping tool on the canvas rather than before you print it, and this will not ( basically all you are doing is duplicating it, which is a useless step) work for the effect you need, the bleed feature will thicken the font, that's where it is copied by using the clipping tool, so your video is the correct way.
