The Projects area is where Cricut displays its many Ready-to-Make projects You can just browse to find something you like. Below that is a row called “Featured Images” from Cricut, highlighting images that Cricut thinks you may find useful. If this is your first time using Cricut Design Space, you’ll need to create a free account and login. Want to cut something that's not on the list? Learn how to create your own material cut setting. We've pre-programmed a long list of material cut settings in Design Space.

So, because we’re using the Maker right now and I have chosen the Maker, you can see over here, I have optimized my experience for the Maker. If you have a Joy or Explore, you would wanna choose those. When you set up your machine, it shows this for you, but if you have more than one you can choose between them, and it will make a difference. It keeps track of the sizing and whether you have the tools for that sort of thing. But we have that, we’re set to the Maker right now and so if I go to line type, I get a whole bunch of options on what I can do with this heart.
CRICUT ACCESS
It’s really the best way is to just try things yourself. So let’s just search for something right now in the free section and I’m gonna search for happy and see what comes up. Some really cute calligraphy things that would look super cute on a shirt. All right, I’m gonna click on this deer. Slice will actually remove parts of the image. I will do that so you can see what it looks like.
How to: Save and Share Projects with Design Space®
All right, so we’re gonna click on upload image and then we click on browse. Now, you can drag and drop files here. I never do it because I just find it’s not reliable. Instead, I always click on browse and I go find the file I downloaded. That’s why it’s important to remember where it went and if you can’t find it, dollars to donuts, it’s in your downloads folder and both Mac and Windows have a downloads folder. All right, so here it is right here.
There’s really a lot of options. Now, the one thing that I didn’t show you, and let’s just go back so I can be complete here, we’re gonna undo and go back until got, our two hearts are separate again. So now we have the ungroup option here, so I’m gonna click that and now they operate independently again. Over here on the left is our font menu and it’s defaulted to Cricut Sans.
I didn’t know what color you’re cutting. Again, it goes under the two guides on either side. Make sure it’s under that one, and we press that load-unload button, putting on some light pressure on the mat and it brings it in for us. And when it’s ready, it flashes and we press the button. (machine whirs) That’s so cute, isn’t it? So this will take about the same amount of time to cut.
Upload Button
It’s just a couple of minutes. All right, so it says that it’s all done and we can unload our material. You get this little box at the top and you can just dismiss it up here. And unloading, again, is the flashing arrow that’s up and down here. This one’ll be harder to see, but I’ll try to show it to you anyways.

By the way, when you do slice, make sure you have just two items selected. If you have more than two, it doesn’t work. Okay, so, but we have two, so we’re good. So I click slice and now we have, this new shape has appeared in the middle and what’s happened is actually sliced part of that heart out, right? So this is basically the opposite I was looking for.
HOW TO UPLOAD A SVG CUT FILE TO CRICUT DESIGN SPACE
Or, once you’ve got your password, you click enter the library. But most people just scroll this list. They’re in reverse chronological order. There’s nearly 400, although by the time that you’re watching this video into the future, there could be a lot more.
So we have downloaded the file and we need to go to our finder. So at this point, the instructions are identical, whether it’s Mac or Windows. So here is what’s inside tonight’s project, the Cricut Kickoff certificate. This is just like an about file, and this is just a thing for more help with Design Space. But this right here is the SVG file. This is the design file that I made for you, and you’ll see, I put SVG right in the name since I realized that there’s a lot of issues with that so that you can spot it.
It doesn’t look like a certificate to me, so we need to do a few things here. Now don’t go double clicking this file. It’ll just be confusing and it won’t lead you. It won’t like open up magically in Design Space, which would be wonderful, but it doesn’t do that. Instead, we need to go back to Design Space. So I’m going to click on upload over here on the left and I click on that and we get several options.
We need to attach that to our card. Otherwise, your Cricut will want to write this on nothing. So right now it’s just a text, but we haven’t said where we’re gonna put it, and it’s independent. It’s not attached to anything. So like, it’s just out there floating around, even though we stuck it out here, that doesn’t mean anything to… It’s just a place that we could put it. We could stick it over here and it would mean the same thing, essentially.
Now, if you wanna learn more about Cricut Design Space, I invite you over to my blog at for hundreds of free Cricut tutorials and projects. I also have a helpful guide called the Cricut Coach Playbook that contains dozens of cheat sheets for Design Space. This is a very popular guide that has been used by over 300,000 Cricut owners. Seriously, we just ticked over that at the time that I’m recording this video and I personally find it helpful and so do they.
Learn how to tell Cricut Joy to Draw or Cut. In this course, you'll learn how to use print then cut to make stickers with your Cricut cutting machine and an Inkjet printer.

It’s really nice to have it all just like spelled out for you. Thank you so much for joining me for your Cricut Kickoff. I hope this has helped you get on the path to success in making all of those awesome things that you can imagine and wanna fill your home with and give to your family and friends.
