[@glendadahmes1357]

This has been the best tutorial I've so far found for me as a beginner.

[@littlecraftnest]

I’m glad you enjoyed it. All the best on your crafting adventures!

[@conniewhittaker9956]

This is the best Cricut tutorial I've seen. I even went to a class to learn and came home more confused than when I went. Thank you so much for your videos! You are an excellent teacher and I appreciate all the effort you put into your videos for us beginnners!

[@littlecraftnest]

You’re welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the encouragement - it makes me want to continue to create fun crafty tutorials. Happy crafting!

[@s.taylor8636]

This was by far the most informative and clear video that I've viewed. Thank you for this.

[@littlecraftnest]

You’re welcome!

[@csl2063]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! I don't have a machine, but my local library has one for people to use, so I can design it at home and make it there. I'm glad I didn't stop watching at 13:00 , even though the use of "edible" instead of "EDITable " was driving me nuts!

[@VanniWieselflink]

I was a little bit confused with all the videos on KZbin. But then I found You !!!❤ This was exactly what I was looking for. Perfect for beginners with ambitions . Thank You for this excellent tutorial 😘🥰

You are most welcome. Happy crafting!

[@trevormichelle1973]

Thank you, I’m new to Cricut and your explanation of the features was amazing.

[@littlecraftnest]

You’re welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it! Happy crafting!

[@dawnludick7635]

I am joining the beginners club - loved this video a lot. @Little Craft Nest do you have a suggested list of your video's that would be good to watch in sequence? Ultimately, I want to use my cricut for crepe paper flower making - any suggestions will be most welcome, many thanks

[@littlecraftnest]

Welcome to the Cricut world. I personally have not made crepe flowers but that defiantly sounds like fun. I do not have a list of videos to watch in sequence but that is definitely a great idea - something I'll have to work on. I do have a number of play list that are categorized based on topic. All the best on your crafting adventure.

[@jerethagardner5122]

OMG this tutorial has help me tremendously! Thank you so much! So easy to follow and understand!!!!! I have been stressing trying to do a simple project, searching a few videos. I’m so glad I didn’t give up my search and found your video!!!

[@littlecraftnest]

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Happy crafting!

[@aceking9769]

I agree with the other comments here. You definitely did an excellent job breaking everything down in design space. I also appreciate you going at a slower pace which also made things easier to absorb.

[@littlecraftnest]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Happy crafting!

[@faybeazer5237]

Hi, I am new to my Cricut Maker and would like to use it for bag making, cutting out the pattern and cutting materials. Do you have any tutorial on this, one thing I am struggling with is how to remove the 1” square, so it gets cut out every time. Also arranging pattern pieces on the Design space. One other thing is how do i get the cricut to draw the zipper area rather than cutting it out😮. Thank Yoy

[@carolwineman9447]

WOW! This was terrific!!!. I've been going over videos for three days looking for an all-inclusive Design Space tutorial - - - - and you covered the whole thing!!! Thank you so much. I'll be referring back to this and watching your other videos as well. ♥♥♥

[@littlecraftnest]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Happy crafting!

[@lyndaz5930]

This helps me to refresh the uses for all of the tools on here. Thanks

[@littlecraftnest]

You’re welcome!

[@annsmith7220]

Oh my, you are an excellent teacher. I had watched a few tutorials and yours was by far the easiest to follow. I'm feeling more confident using the Design Space platform.

[@littlecraftnest]

That's awesome, I'm glad you feel more confident! Happy crafting!

[@Angelnicole97]

As a beginner I would like to say thank you for this video its clear and right to the point as well as very easy to follow along thank you so much

[@littlecraftnest]

You’re most welcome! Happy crafting!

[@whichcrafts]

This is by far the most informative, easy-to-understand tutorial I have found! My brand new Cricut machine has been collecting dust for a year because I had no idea how to use it or the design space. After this video, I am excited to see what I can do with my Cricut! Thanks so much!

[@littlecraftnest]

You are most welcome! Happy crafting!

[@AllUpInMyDrill]

Thanks so much for making such an informative video! I just got my Cricut today, so I am watching this before I even plug it in! :)

[@littlecraftnest]

That’s exciting. Happy crafting!

[@Ashley-je4pk]

Thank you for this!! My maker 3 just came today I am excited to begin but very nervous as well. This video was very very informative thank you soooooo much!

That’s great to hear! Happy crafting!

[@nataliestewart6706]

wow this beginner tutorial was great . am now learning to use the cricut machine and i learn a lot from you and i now subscribe because you explain everything so simple that i could understand thank you , and can you send a tutorial on how to print and cut? that area might be a challenge for me thanks again.

[@littlecraftnest]

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Here is my print then cut tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGO7l5iifJaCq7csi=agJyRYCWZUj_38bV

[@otterfan5518]

Do you have a video on using purchased svg files, merging 2 onto your design space and how can I get cricket to open svgs that were saved from another program like Silhouette, saved as a svg file not a Silhouette file extension. Thanks! Love your teaching!

[@littlecraftnest]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I have not use silhouette so I’m not sure what formats your image saves in but if you want upload it to DS you may need to change the format first. Here is an older video on how to upload images to design space. Hopefully you’ll find it helpful kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4jaqXp-i8t0rpIsi=I-QQdhAz0kplgFea

[@otterfan5518]

@@littlecraftnest silhouette has their own file extension and the option to save as svg or png….i save as svg. When I open in DS it’s distorted. I’m having trouble using my new Maker ( which I bought thinking it would be easier to send directly to the cutter) but I’m not having much luck using my own purchased files. I do a lot of shirts and I can’t get my files into DS. It’s easy if you use their images but I need to use ones I have. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@littlecraftnest]

@otterfan5518 I have not problem uploading outside images. If they are distorted when they are uploaded you may need to contact the designer of the file.

[@judithdrew7542]

really liked this video it was very informative thank you

[@littlecraftnest]

You’re welcome. Happy crafting!

[@MandyEllott]

Learnt more watching this than in last week. 1 ? Can you fill fonts with colour. Contour doesn't seem to allow that. Thank you

[@littlecraftnest]

If you’re doing print then cut you can make your fronts any colour. If you are wanting your Cricut to draw out your letters with pens - it will draw the outside only. I have a few videos on how to fill text you can check out here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIuViKyhZq2hnrssi=ZiZbuOLkFjijt8OO. And here is another one but requires more work kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpfViaKFqpyBeqcsi=tpJReld0ZBEqBU4N

[@lisabaker3428]

You are by far one of the best teachers for beginners. Thank you very much!!

I am new to Cricut. You did an excellent job. This tutorial really helped me.

[@thelmalewis5299]

Loved your video going back through and watching them all. No one can answer my question??? I am a cricut acess member i am using on of there files. Added to my canvas edit it to my liking very simple. Whie lettering instead of 3 layers. Go to make it nothing shows up. I did change my mat color so i can see the white lettering. What have I done that my project does not come over. I am using print &cut instead of basic cute. Please help.

[@littlecraftnest]

Are you trying to print your design out with your printer? If you have white lettering you will not be able to print it as most printers do not have white ink. If you just want it cut it, it needs to be set to basic cut. I hope that helps - it’s hard to provide instruction when you can’t see someone’s screen. I hope you can figure it out.

[@3rdtwirl494]

If I wanted to sell decals and signs. Is this some that to help bring Prichard to print and export files for clients ?

[@carolwineman9447]

Would like to learn about the Offset feature. and Print and Cut.

[@brendamartinez1774]

This tutorial is great! I want to buy the Cricut Joy extra, but I still don’t understand the printing part. Do I need a special printer to make full color stickers? Please help me, I would love to start soon! Thanks!

[@littlecraftnest]

I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial. For stickers you can use just a regular colour ink jet printer. I personally use an Epson Eco Tank but whatever printer you have should work just fine. I have a number of sticker tutorials on this playlist here kzbin.info/aero/PLPIwi88Dy-Oz4AY7phRD4ZN1Dfnj6SwOM&si=RINa9asVLsK7oBHy

[@NicInston]

Hi.. i have an item that I want to cut out and it has a hole in the middle. Is there a way I can make this hole bigger ? Hope this makes sense. Thankyou x

[@littlecraftnest]

Place a circle where you want the hole to be and then select your bottom layer and your circle and click “subtract” (bottom right hand corner). I hope that helps. This video may be helpful kzbin.info/www/bejne/rau5iaSYetaBa5Isi=55HKYKuorTGJDE2W

[@julie4js]

I handcut out photos of animals and people for ornaments. Which CRICUT would you recommend?

[@littlecraftnest]

Any Cricut but not the original Joy (as it doesn’t have print then cut capabilities). To learn more about Print then Cut check out this playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLPIwi88Dy-OxZPioA3PkaNso-_rncV3XQ&si=wZ75sO4ElqMlfFh- And here is one of my favorite types of ornaments to make with my Cricut kzbin.info/www/bejne/bprGdoJ6it2qkNUsi=pe03MnWsJsw3dyi-

[@julie4js]

@@littlecraftnest thank you!

[@lisabottjen9483]

is there a button to push that fills the 12 by page full of same image? for example i want to make a page of tags?

[@littlecraftnest]

After you press “make” on the top left hand corner you can say how many copies you want and it will fill your mat with the number you select.

[@deborahtoth8589]

great!!.. thanks for sharing all that information.. you do explain steps very well. I have only very lightly used the app before but seeing this video has given me more scope to play with. Cheers

[@littlecraftnest]

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Happy crafting!

[@tatcalrn78]

Hi I have all sort of Cricut joy pens but when I go use them, most smear off on the vynil I have. Does the vynil have to state “writable” ? I’m suspecting the answer is yes. Why are there so many pens if one can only use them on black or white vynil?

[@littlecraftnest]

Yes it needs to be writable material. Most people use pens on cardstock. Here is a fun pen project using cardstock kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGGbhJdtgbuFp8ksi=pL5tQWrnLzQ1_6n0

thank you so much for this video, i just bought my first cricut, i used to be a silhouette user, and this video help me out so much! I would love to see a video of how to make my own cut settings, this because i live in mexico and its really hard and expensive to get cricut materials, so i would love to know how to cut third party materials.

Hello. I've used cricut for years. Right now I have a cricut maker 3. I am trying to make price tags where I make the design and upload it to design space. No mater what I do I can't get it to cut what I printed. I'm sure it's something simple but I've missed it. Where can I go to get help?

[@littlecraftnest]

Are you trying to do ‘print then cut’ or just cut? What type of file are you uploading a SVG or PNG?

[@JohnDoane-md7cr]

Thank you for making these videos. They are very helpful!

Please help. Every time I make a card using cricut access when I go to cut the card out. It always cut the whole of front of the card out just leaving me either the back of the card.

[@2010KerryB]

Great tutorial

[@littlecraftnest]

Thank you!

[@briannalyons9480]

I noticed this video was made about 3 months ago. I am just now learning how to use design space and my toolbar is now on the bottom instead of the left side and there's not as many options. Is this a new update maybe?

[@littlecraftnest]

Are you on a desk top computer or are you using an iPad? The iPad view will look different than desktop.

[@Timeless_Creations-MS]

I have a question. I bought a care card png from Etsy to be able to print & cut. But when I bring it into CIRCUT it wants to remove the background and then it’s all missed up. How do I get pass this? Thanks

[@littlecraftnest]

If the file does not have a background there is no need to remove it. If you’re having upload issues with the file I would suggest to contact the creator of the file.

[@AnnaGarcia-s9j]

I'm having trouble downloading the cricut design space. On my laptop.. and signing into my account

[@littlecraftnest]

What type of laptop do you have? If it’s a Chromebook it will not be compatible. If you’re using a PC or a Mac try restarting your computer and trying again. If you’re still not having any luck call Cricut support and they will walk you through it.
