THE CRICUT JOY HACK YOU NEED! | Print Then Cut Stickers With Cricut Joy

[@jocelyngarcia-castro2812]

I have to say, I have searched and searched for someone to help me with just simply show me how to use design space and Cricut Joy. I never had any luck finding someone until today! You have a great way and patience of showing step by step on how to use design space and Cricut joy AND a better understanding how and why ❤. Thank you so much. I have to let others know about you to. Thank you!!

[@gonzjade6017]

I can't seem to make the print and cut hack work on the Joy. Can you teach me how?

[@ricardosantana6677]

@@gonzjade6017 New software version won't allow to do this trick, I've been looking for a proper version to work with.

[@stevrgrs]

How is this any better? You still can't print and cut? I don't get this video at all. The Joy is basically a cutter that costs as much as a 3D Printer :P

[@augustinesdreamslearningce1395]

I want to say it was a pleasure to watch the video because most of the time there’s a lot of talking, and the person’s voice is so much to where you can’t watch the video to learn. Thank you for taking your time.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thank you!

[@LindaBrett]

THE MOST USEFUL hack video I've seen in years. I also learned a trick from you guys about magnetizing your blade tool to the front edge while using the pen. TY

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

So glad it was useful!

[@miantezigler4784]

this was my first time doing this as I have a Cricut joy and am new to the Cricut world! I had some trouble with my printer at first, but I kept going and I am glad to say that this hack really works, now I can make stickers for my class! my only thing now is what advice would you give if you wanted to use all of the paper not just that certain half because there were leftovers?

[@jodiepollard1932]

Hi how did you connect your printer? I can't seem to do that step so it's only giving me the option to cut not print x

[@gonzjade6017]

Can you teach me how? Coz when I pressed Make, it says " MACHINE SETUP REQUIRED. To make projects with the Cricut Maker 3, you must first register it to your account." I tried the other Cricut machines but still no luck...

[@kraftykaren7685]

Thanks MGL!! My daughter-in-law just got a cricut joy and she's wanting to make stickers. Now, I can show her how. Of course, I have to get her a printer but that's all good. Love MGL and all that you guys do for us!!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thanks for the love and support!

[@LisaVornhagen]

That is so great! I think the instructions are very easy to follow and not that complicated. Thank you so much! I do have a Maker, but I have a very small work space, so sometimes it is just easier to use my Joy.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You are so welcome!

[@XiiaoXinn]

Just recently got a second hand Joy and this has got to be one of the most useful videos i ever found on the internet, i got the Joy for vinyl stickers but i was wondering how can one print custom stickers with it

[@tadyotoole]

ive followed many tutorials, but this one helped my stickers turn out PERFECTLY! thank you so much!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

So glad it was helpful!

[@crystalbernier4601]

Great Hack!!! I've been wanting to make stickers for months, and now I can. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@craftyShirleyG]

This is awesome. I love stickers and using them in my planner. Can't wait to give this a try. TFS

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You are so welcome!

[@penguinator007]

Can this hack also work with print and cut iron on or is there another hack for that? Thank you for your info and you videos! I’ve just gotten the cricut bug and am excited about the joys’ of crafting! 😊

[@rruni9828]

Complicated but excellent guide. Thanks so much

You are welcome!

[@catdeeann]

Thank you for this video!! Excellent instructions!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@materialgurl15]

I'm a bit confused with this. Did you use a canon printer to print the stickers or the Cricut Joy? And if so, do we need a separate printer to be able to do this?

[@dianahegseth6279]

GREAT HACK! How did you come up with this amazing Hack? I love that you are always coming up with so many things and sharing with us all.

[@Brooklynbarrile]

They didn’t.😅It’s been on you tube for some time

[@maphaynes77]

This was great! Thank you 😊

[@ingridstevens8333]

How do you go around the set up that is required of the Maker ?

[@jilljillbinks]

This is the issue I'm having- did you figure anything out?

[@geecee6034]

I believe, due to changes in Design Space, you can no longer do this unless you have another machine like the Xtra or above. And if you have these machines, why do you need to do P & C on the Joy

[@salwahh11]

Thank you very much. Your explanation is quite clear enough.Thank you again. But the canva is also need to check the setting .

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You're welcome!

[@SkyArcherDev]

Thank you so much, you saved my day! I was just trying to figure out what was wrong with Design Space. It’s incredible how Cricut deliberately cut off a software feature that does NOT depend by the Cricut hardware. There just isn’t a single reason for why the Joy couldn’t support Print then Cut.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You're so welcome!

[@SkyArcherDev]

@@MakersGonnaLearnJust one question: my square set to Pen is not printing. I can see that in the Print before Cut screen, but then it's not there in the actual print. Any clue why? Should I move to the Beta version of the software?

[@MrThechuzzler]

What an awesome detailed guide. I'm far from being technologically challenged, but this was one of the more frustrating experiences, trying to print and cut stickers on a dang cutting machine. I mean, dozens of hours of research only to be met with wall after wall of research tangents. How hard is it to get a printer to print to scale? SO HARD. Why do inkjet printers have a built in margin that you are unable to interface with? BECAUSE THEY HATE US (and they want to keep ink powder out of mechanisms okay I get it). Why do printers even exist? BECAUSE THE DEVIL WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS. Yet somehow the Cricut app used in the manner you describe works FLAWLESSLY and removes all of my scaling issues and is the only tool smart enough to work with my printers margins to keep scaling accurate. You single-handedly solved every single problem I was facing with what I thought would be a simple task, and because of you now it IS a simple task!

[@armlessart]

Great tips and easy to follow along: however, when I fit my printed sticker sheet in the prepared area on the Cricut mat, no matter how precise I place it, the cuts are still off. I know you mentioned leaving room for error, but even so, It's still messing up to the degree of throwing out. Any suggestions?

[@EstherVentura-lt1he]

You can change the rectangle to guide as well

[@oyaaesinam3757]

i dont know because i just started using. So, not sure what the hack overrides yet. But I will!

[@jmcleod9]

Thanks for sharing this technique. I'm wondering at what point a Joy user should order stickers from a company. I'm thinking, if you do a very small batch of more than one design, as you did in the tutorial, it's worth it. Otherwise, order. Thoughts?

[@CamilleVandenBorre]

Hi! How do you make sure your square is also printed out? When I printed the stickers, everything printed except the square… (I did put the square on “pen”)

[@lisaann_multicraftology]

So cute, will have to try this to see how it works on my Joy. Thanks so much for another great video tutorial ❤❤

[@phyllisavella9647]

Thanks for this learning experience. I'm having trouble with my maker print and cut and even though may not be able to make as many stickers with the JOY, love that I can.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You can do it!

[@cornflakegirl1977LJ]

Ive been doing exactly as shown in this tutorial for months and it worked great. Today, I've tried to print a saved project and design space tells me i need to register my machine and it won't work. Please tell me that Cricut hasn't created an update which doesn't allow this hack anymore 😢 ????

[@AgentGraham27]

same problem. I'm being asked to setup my machine first after choosing 'Maker 3'

[@cornflakegirl1977LJ]

@AgentGraham27 I ended up buying the Joy Xtra and it's so quick and easy to make stickers. I think I'm going to sell my Joy when I've used up my supplies for it.

[@jmcleod9]

Go for it! Pop it open and do the setup tutorial. You'll be hooked. 😊

[@johnstaggs5087]

I tried to follow your steps and design space would not allow me tp print because I did not have a maker machine. so, my workaround was to use snippet and paste into word and print. I then cut out my square and eventually used undo until I got back to my cut file and cut it out, it worked! Cricut company can't blocksnippit and word!!!. just another underhanded shenanigan like the one they pulled when they came out with the first cricut machine.

[@Brooklynbarrile]

Also, I don’t know why cricut Joy didn’t just give us this sticker cut in the first place. 😮 I originally didn’t buy the Joy simply because it didn’t have this feature

[@MsSapphire73]

Great point! ❤️

[@jocelyngarcia-castro2812]

I agree with you 100%. With all the updates print and cut should considered for the Cricut Joy.

[@kellylanley]

Great tutorial, Lauren! What material cut setting would you recommend using if you decide to cover the sticker paper with Starcraft Matte laminate?

[@EstherVentura-lt1he]

Nice job. I like this hack.

Any ideas?

[@moonfire75]

I just got a joy! I've never done anything! Subscribed, and ready to watch more videos! ❤

[@agatavogrin9103]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I followed it step-by-step, but when I wanted to send it to the printer the design space wanted to set up a new machine. This is very strange because I did this with Joy in the past. Is this option now available only for specific countries or do I have to have a subscription?

[@Juliaececilia]

i have the subscription but im having the same problem... i tried the disconnect internet hack but also didnt work :(

[@Moonattica]

Same problem here😢!

[@sharonhumphrey2403]

Hi I have tried to do this, but it requires me to set up the explore machine, which I obviously can't do as I only have a joy

These stickers don’t have an adhesive back, correct? It’s just a cardstock or paper “sticker” that one will need use glue or tape to adhere to a project, am I correct?

Is this hack still possible if you have design space on the iPad? Because the interface is vastly different on that
