Thank you so much for taking the time for this tutorial. It worked for me on a Windows laptop and Epson ET-2850, however I have the Maker 3 and it won't let you use a 12X12 Mat. I was about to ask you how did you cut yours with a 12X12 but I found at the very bottom of the comments someone asking you this questions. I tried the hack of taping two 12X12 mats and it worked just fine. Thank you again, I appreciate it 😀
I actually use this trick, but to print on A5! I usually print smaller things or amounts and I use A5 folders to organize my collection, so I cut my A4 paper in half, getting two A5. I did several tries until I figured that the biggest I can get it to print without moving to two pages is 11x17 cm, so I just use that size, tell cricut I'm using A4 paper, and then change it on the printer screen when I go to print it, so it prints on A5 and it uses a lot of the space on the page, wasting less paper. Hope it might be helpful for someone!
Love this! Question about using creative fabrica for print and cut stickers on cricut. My cricut will not put an offset on the images from creative fabrica. I can leave it spinning all night and it will not put on an offset. Any ideas? Thanks!
You will still need the registration lines somehow for it to read. You can save as a PDF with the lines but that’s all done in Cricut but using the system dialogue
I’m a little confused: 1. How much were you able to increase the PTC design with this method? 2. At about 11 mins you said “something went wrong. So I need to fix it”. What went wrong? How did you know to go back and move it back up to the corner?
I did it so that it would cut around that shape 3 times. Since I’m cutting all on one sheet I can’t have two materials. So to make a deeper cut I multiply!
Great hack! However, my maker 3 is still reading that my mat isn't big enough, and I can't change the mat size. Anyone else trying this on their Cricut maker 3? The print itself worked just fine on my Inkjet Canon MX870.
This doesn't work with a 12 inch mat on Maker 3 or Explore 3 because those machines do a mat check and start looking for 24 inch mat because of the paper size, not the design size. There are methods to make it pass the mat check, like taping a strip of card stock at the end of the mat in line with the sensor, covering the sensor with your finger, etc.
@@dinosaurmamasvg yes, of course, we've been doing that since the Expression era but in this case it's overkill because you don't need extra mat length to hold anything, you just need to fool the sensor.
thank you SO much! This is the simplest easiest to follow tutorial i've found so far and I've watched so many. Really appreciate it :)
That made my day. Thank you for watching!
You are the best! You have changed my world with Cricut printing larger! Keep the videos coming.
Yayyy thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

I always try out your suggestions they’re amazing!
Thank you! I’m happy you like them
Great video! thank you. i didnt know you could make a pattern design behind the stickers. i love it

Yayyy! I’m so happy to hear this! I find it so strange that they put that censor in.
Worked for me. I used a MacBook and Epson 1500
Love this one too, great idea.
Loved it. Thank you!!!
Thank you sooo much for this!
You’re welcome!!
Very helpful thank you!

Yay! I’m glad you like it!
I am waiting for the iPad’s version 😊❤
I’ll try to get it up soon!
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
So super cute. Love it.
Question 🙋🏻♀️
What Cricut tool are you using to cut the stickers? TIA 💕🌺
I just use the regular old fine point blade. I just always keep my scoring stylus in the machine

When you said you would change the pressure for the second cut, did you use the same cut setting for the individual stickers?
I used medium cardstock to just cut right through the paper
Thank you!!! Were the stickers you bought in a bundle, or seperate?
Hi! It’s from this bundle: www.creativefabrica.com/product/books-reading-png-bundle/ref/2371611/
@@dinosaurmamasvg Thank you so much!!

This can be a major issue with their graphics. Sometimes I had the offset in Inkscape
does the printer use more ink on pattern since you have 3 copies? try it but my hp printer will not grab the glossy paper and prints half page😢
@shaunebartoo oh nooo!! It shouldn’t use more ink. But I’m not sure about why your hp isn’t working
Yayy
Can you do this on a Cricut Joy Xtra?
Maybe?? 🤔
I missed something... Why a patterned background. For looks or is there a function?
Just looks. ❤️
I think I missed something: Although we are making a fake '11x17' , does our printer have to be 11x17 capable, although we are printing on 8.5x11?
My printer is not capable. I’m gaslighting it 😂
Can we use this hack to print outside of Cricut then cut? I don't use Cricut to print.
You will still need the registration lines somehow for it to read. You can save as a PDF with the lines but that’s all done in Cricut but using the system dialogue
@@dinosaurmamasvg Ok. Thanks. Hopefully, someone will have a work around.
I have an Epson 4800 but my bottom and right registration lines are cut off
What size are you doing and did you move the image to the absolute corner? The smallest amount can cause this issue
I’m a little confused:
1. How much were you able to increase the PTC design with this method?
2. At about 11 mins you said “something went wrong. So I need to fix it”. What went wrong? How did you know to go back and move it back up to the corner?
So its adjusted up by .35 inches by .43 inches and I knew it went wrong because my print preview showed two pages and not all four registration lines.
One question, why did you duplicate the pattern 3 times?
I did it so that it would cut around that shape 3 times. Since I’m cutting all on one sheet I can’t have two materials. So to make a deeper cut I multiply!
Great hack! However, my maker 3 is still reading that my mat isn't big enough, and I can't change the mat size. Anyone else trying this on their Cricut maker 3?
The print itself worked just fine on my Inkjet Canon MX870.
Someone said that they taped two 12x12 together and it worked great 👀 I don’t have a three but please let me know if this works!
@@dinosaurmamasvg ha! I was going to try that, but I was worried it would get stuck. I'll try it!

@cleversomeday thank you for sharing this! I know there is a work around with taping two mats together!

EVERYONE NAME YOUR PRINTER AND SAY IF IT WORKED…👇👇
It worked for me 😂 I use a MacBook Air and an Epson ecotank 2400.
