This is the best video I have seen for print and cut. The others didn't help me at all. I saved this to my cricut playlist. I have seen dozens of videos on this topic. Only yours have helped me. Now I know I can do this because of you! May God Bless You!!❤❤
I’m glad it was so helpful. All the best as you tackle some new crafting projects!
I'm in tears. I finally found a tutorial that's up close so you can see exactly what she is talking about, also giving details of what each features she uses, does. Plz utubers people can't see the small details...plz zoom in...

Best tutor I have come across. Very detailed. Thank you. New user. Presently using the Joy for card-making. Will upgrade soon I want to be able to do print & cut.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Print then cut is a lot of fun and can now also be done on the Cricut Joy Xtra, if you're not looking for a large machine. However the Cricut Explore and Maker are also great machines! Happy crafting.
Ty for the precise and to the point instruction. I am new to Cricut and am an artist and want to cut my own creations! Ty for no music also!
You’re welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Happy crafting!
Easy to follow instructions and pretty concise to other videos I've found. Thank you!
You're welcome!
I so agree with you. I needed all of these step-by-step instructions to get excited about this.
I learned so much from your video. Have never tried the Print Then Cut, but will certainly do so now. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome. Happy crafting!
Thank you. For the clean instructions I've avoided doing print and cut for so long and was terrified of the offset simply because I didn't know what and how to use it I plan on having more fun with my Cricut my grandkids will be happy so thank you in advance from them
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. I hope your grandkids enjoy all the crafts you make! Here is a video with more offset tips and tricks ruclips.net/video/ODXVbx6lCxg/видео.html

Yes offset is a great feature!
Thank you very much ,you should be a teacher, you have explained this tutorial very well and made me a very happy person I can proceed with more creative designs. Thank you😉
You’re welcome. I’m glad it was helpful. Happy crafting!

Thanks for the info, your explanations are very clear to understand.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Happy crafting!
Thank you! I just learned something by watching this video. I'm glad I stumbled upon you. I'm subscribing so I can get proficient with my Air Explorer that I've had for over 5 years and have only used a handful of times. You give great tutorials!!!

Glad it’s working better for you now! Happy crafting.
Bought a Cricut Explore a month ago. A bit overwhelmed so I havent touched it yet. Been watching videos and how to use design space and came across your videos. Thankyou for your tutorial. So clear and easy to understand. Awesome.
Welcome to the Cricut world! It can definitely be overwhelming when starting out. Start small, and don’t feel you need to learn everything at once. Pick one thing you want to make and go for it, learning one project at a time. I hope you have fun using your new toy!
Wow! This was so helpful. I thought I understood it and then re-watched your video and got it to work. Appreciate the easy to follow steps.
Glad you enjoyed it. Happy crafting!

please allow me to complement you on the quality of your video. I am kind of old now. Very close to 80 YO and I am visually impaired. I have to put the screen on reverse video, where it is white on black, instead of black on white. Your videos are so clear. I have watched many videos over the past few months. Thank you again for the quality and clarity of your presentations. Take care ane be safe...
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. All the best with your crafting adventure!
Thank you

Thank you for such a detailed video!!
You’re welcome. Happy crafting!
Good Evening, I saw your Circuit print and cut video, thanks for the good work, I am a shoe designer, working on 3D software for shoe design "Shoe master", Using this software I create shoe designs and various shoe parts in DXF files. Is it possible to import these DXF files on the printer Canvas then "print and cut" these files.
Yes you can upload DXF files to Cricut Design Space.
This is amazing!!
Thanks!
Thank you!!!!!🎉
You’re welcome!
❤great video
Thank you. Happy crafting!
I didn't know what print to cut was and your video was very helpful, thank you! I'm curious about the quality on the final product: 1. print then cut uses transfer paper 2. cut uses vinyl iron on. I like the idea of the color with the print then cut and not laying a bunch of vinyl, but I'm cautiously optimistic of the end result. Can you give me your opinion on what is the best option (listed above) for an iron on image on shirts?
I’m glad you found the video helpful. I have some videos on different printable iron-on material showing the whole process, you can check them out here:

Omg finally found someone that explains how to do everything on cricut design step by step you are my life saver thank you 🙌🫶
You’re welcome. Happy crafting!
Great video! What if I need it on removable vinyl materials? do I print it on that materials first, then cut?
Yes. Typically, you would be printing on sticker paper or printable vinyl. I have a number of sticker videos you can check out here ruclips.net/p/PLPIwi88Dy-Oz4AY7phRD4ZN1Dfnj6SwOM
Hi I’m new to your tutorials and thinking of buying a cricut machine. Thank you for the clear tutorial. Have you a tutorial for cutting out letters on clear labels pls, as I would like to print letters on to clear balloons for my daughters wedding. Thank you.
A Cricut machine for wedding prep is such a great idea. Personally I have never put letters on balloons but I imagine once the ballon is blown up you could carefully apply vinyl letters to it. There are so many ways to do labels. You could get printable clear sticker paper and do a print then cut project. I have many sticker videos you can check out here ruclips.net/p/PLPIwi88Dy-Oz4AY7phRD4ZN1Dfnj6SwOM&si=dLXJHm951_qzSht9 You could also just cut out vinyl letters.
Hi I am really loving your tutorials thank you, I'm trying to find the bumble bee & butterfly you have used in this video please.
I absolutely love them !
I’m glad you’re enjoying them. Here is my affiliate link for the designs designbundles.net/plusstore/2548341-funny-garden-animal-clipart-cute-spring-png-bundle?ref=ncSCqi
I usually include links to the products and images I use in the description of each video. Happy crafting!
@@littlecraftnest thank you so much ! You've saved me another night of searching! Is it possible to buy things without being a member?
Yes it is. I’m currently not a member and just buy designs as needed. However there are some designs that are only for those with a subscription.
@@littlecraftnest woohoo!! 😁 I'm just discovering all this, learning so much ! Do the designs just get downloaded onto the computer and stay there? (After paying that is)
Hi,
Sorry to bother you with this again, how do I pay for this design please? I have activated my prepaid Visa card but there is nowhere that says add to cart?
Very Neat Explanation!! I am new to cricut .I came here to learn print and cut. Could you please show how to use digital stamp images and sentiments to print and cut for cardmaking. Thank you!!
Charlene at Dream Craft Create has a great video for creating digital stamps & sentiments for card making: ruclips.net/video/GpBDDJbGFIU/видео.htmlsi=ntl4OvGWjQpzdztC
Great video it helped me, I’ve seen allot of videos that say your printer setting have to be the same on the computer and printer so this isn’t true?
Can you use print and cut to make something adhesive?
Absolutely! You can put printable vinyl or sticker paper in your printer. Here is my play list of all my sticker videos ruclips.net/p/PLPIwi88Dy-Oz4AY7phRD4ZN1Dfnj6SwOM&si=BBlzvgE46kJR-SvW
I keep trying to find videos of exactly WHAT paper to use for the pictures, is it just heat transfer paper? How is it possible to use regular paper on a shirt?
Yes if you were to make a shirt you would need to use printable HTV. I have 2 different videos on this using different types of printable material that I will post here.
Teckwrap Transfer Paper: ruclips.net/video/QPTr-FyHglc/видео.html
Easy Color DTV: ruclips.net/video/XTu1lqJDHic/видео.html
You can not use regular copy paper to put on shirts, but you may want to use regular copy paper for other projects such as invitations, bulletin board art, etc.
Loved your video! When I work with print then cut, the machine cuts all white areas IN the design before cutting the border. I only want the border cut! I’m missing something!
Create an offset behind your design (make sure there are no holes in the offset layer) and then select your offset layer and your image and flatten together. I hope that helps. Feel free to ask any other questions.
Does this process apply to printable vinyl as well? That's what I'll be using mine for primarily
Yes it does!
Ok i have tons of digital downloads in my laptop computer, could u do a tutorial on cutting these images? I’m finally hauling out my cricut and start learning how to use it. I tried learning design space when i first got the machine and got frustrated and put it away. Wish me good luck lol. Oh is there somewhere on design space to import from my digital files?
This video will show you how to import your images into design space ruclips.net/video/yWwxGHVfAx0/видео.htmlsi=SgDdGfPnSNseW1Wt
Can you print on white cricut permanent vinyl? Or do you have to purchase special "printable vinyl" to make stickers? Total noob so sorry if it's silly question but looking forward to a reply. GREAT VIDEO with perfect editing 👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed the video. Great question. Yes you do need special printable vinyl or sticker paper. If you were to print on regular permanent vinyl the ink would not absorb into the vinyl properly and probably smudge. I have a few different sticker videos you can check out.

Okay but other then cute flowers for scrap booking what can be done with print and cut? I'm new in cricut crafting world and I watch all these great videos but I am really interested in tshirt making and permanent vynil for cups etc.
Welcome to the Cricut world. Print then cut can be used for making stickers and also if you print on printable heat transfer vinyl you can put it on a shirt. I have a whole playlist on print then cut that you can check out here ruclips.net/p/PLPIwi88Dy-OxZPioA3PkaNso-_rncV3XQ&si=CMXUGYc48kCxe3UH Look through my list of videos and you’ll find lots of fun Cricut crafts to get you started.
@@littlecraftnest Thank you so much I will.
Is there some kind of sticky sheet that I can put over the top to peel it from the backer if I have a bunch of small pieces
Depends on what material you are cutting. For paper or cardstock you probably don’t want to put anything sticky on it. But if you’re using printable vinyl you could use transfer tape.
Hi, I am new to your channel and I like it. Could you show how to make the cute bee into a sticker, let's say, for the front of a 5x7 greeting card.
There are two different things you could do. You can flatten the image to a rectangle in DS and then print /cut it out and fold to make a card or make stickers. I have a few different sticker videos you can follow that I’ll post below.

Do you have sublimation ink in your epson printer? I found using my regular canon printer it wasn't the greatest color quality.
The printer I use in this video is regular inkjet ink, which came with my epson printer.
Plz plz plz make a tutorial for beginners starting from the beginning starting with their very 1st project...im ready....im not so scared of my Cricut now..
So glad to hear you're not scared of your Cricut anymore. I always suggest to pick one project you really want to do and follow a step by step tutorial for it. Here are some suggestions.
Here's one of my very first videos on how to apply vinyl:
ruclips.net/video/SUqgpO3Z1-0/видео.htmlsi=cjDQ_6lZJsn-AWkp
And here's another early video I made about Iron-On vinyl:

Can I print for example in Staples for the color quality and then proceed to come back to cricut to cut around that image? I want to use this feature for bulletin board decorations, but we don't have the best printer quality and wanted to see if I would still be able to have cricut cut out my images. I don't know if anyone has any advice? Thanks!
You need to have the registration marks on your image so the Cricut knows where to cut. You would not be able to do this at staples. Does your local library have a Cricut and a printer? You may be able to try that route.
What type of paper/cardstock did you print the bee on?
Just regular printer paper but you can also use card stock. You can use any material that will go through your printer.
How do you put it in something?
What setting do you guys use to cut it? I used to set it as photo paper but there are thin things and it rips it.
Would like to know how to print and cut text only
If you don’t want each letter to cut out separately but as a whole you will need to create a background for your text. To do this either grab a shape and put it behind your text and then flatten your text to your shape or create an offset around your text and then flatten the offset to your text. I hope that helps. Happy crafting.
Ok i made a very simple medicine label. I designed it and sent to printer. My plan was to cut it the next day. Go to my saved project hit make it again. ThT is as far as i can get . Please advise
I’m having trouble with my images not printing color when I send my image to the printer. I’m using my tablet as well. Any suggestions? It doesn’t give me the option to select use system dialog
If I use Bluetooth from my device (iPhone iPad) for my printer, will DS still detect the printer? Or do I have to use the computer for this?
Yes it should detect your printer.
Hi! Your Video was very helpful!! But I do have a question. I‘ve seen that sometimes the cricuts „help-lines“ (idk what they‘re called) are fully around your design, and sometimes it‘s like yours in your video! My cricut DOESN‘T do the black help-lines fully around my design and now my cricut can‘t detect the line so I can‘t cut!! I hope you know what I mean and maybe someone can help me🥺
Design space recently had a big update to Print then Cut. The black registration marks use to go fully around the whole image, now the registration marks are just in the corners. If your machine is having difficulty detecting the lines and you aren’t using glossy or dark coloured paper you could try to uninstall DS on your computer and then reinstall it. If it’s still not working try call Cricut Support. I hope you can get it working. All the best.
If I wanted to have multiple pictures, will I be able to print cut?
Yes you can! I demonstrate this in some of my sticker videos. You can check out my sticker playlist here ruclips.net/p/PLPIwi88Dy-Oz4AY7phRD4ZN1Dfnj6SwOM&si=ykd5-RllCHujAkRO
How do you get it to cut between there mine wont have a maker
Thank you. I get confuse with svg and png.
You’re welcome. Svg and png are just different types of files. So an Svg may be one layer but it can also contain multiple layers and is specifically designed for die cutting machines. A png file is basically one layer, kinda like a photo or jpeg. You can not separate a png into multiple layers. I hope that helps.
Hi, so I followed your directions to the T. But for some reason my first design prints out the background as the same color as my design. If I duplicate the design, the backgrounds are white (the way I set/want it.) Do you have any idea on how to fix this? Is this a printer issue? Is it because I'm using my iPad? Please help if possible 🥹❤️
Hmm I’ve never experienced this. To me it sounds like a printer issue or maybe the background isn’t totally removed. When you uploaded the image to DS did you remove the background using the magic wand? If you want a white background maybe first remove the background when uploading and then add a white background using the square shape and then flatten the background and image together. It’s really hard to know without seeing your screen but I hope you can figure it out.
Is it possible to do print than cut iron on vinyl?
Yes you can. You will need printable HTV. Here are some videos that can help.

Does the printer have to be connected and I’m having trouble I was able to print it but I wasn’t able to cut it. It was kept giving an error.
Your printer only needs to be connected to your computer, tablet or phone. You do not need to connect it to your Cricut. What type of error are you getting? What material are you printing on?
Are you able to print with a tablet ? Or is it better with a laptop?
You can print from either.
I don't have a printer before i used to make my vinyl and cut
When I calibrate my machine the calibration marks are mirrored and i haven't got that feature turned on.
It could possible be your printer settings, rather than Design Space settings.
I tried doing the same thing but it didn't came out right
Hi I am trying cut a sheet of stickers but my cricut will only cut the border how can i get it to cut each individual sticker ? Thnak you
Here is my video on how to make sticker sheets. I hope you find it helpful.
ruclips.net/video/6R_u6K30jWU/видео.htmlsi=YbJTytSYHBGNQb8Y
Help! I am using HP printer and The top edge corners keep getting cut off when I print.
Do you have the right paper size selected? Ex. On the “make” screen under your mat, make sure you have the same size showing that is in your printer and also make sure your printer is showing the same size. I hope that helps.
Can I do this on my iPad or only on a laptop?
You can create images on your iPad but you will need to print them from your laptop.
What app did you use?
Cricut Design Space
I am having a problem. When I send the image to the Cricut it only cuts a square around the design. the design is not cut out. Help!
If you uploaded the design to DS it probably had a white background. You need to remove the background of your image when you upload it.
I am using a sublimation printer with sublimation paper and it automatically mirrors the image and some of it gets cut off what do I do?
Turn the mirror setting off on your printer settings when calibrating or try printing from another printer.
How do u set up system dialog box on eco tank printer.
If your printer is installed on your computer you don't need to set up anything further. Just simply select System Dialog when you go to print from Design Space and your box should appear, sometimes hiding behind your DS window.
@13:12 what’s the difference between flatten and weld?
Weld combines multiple layers together to create one shape. Flatten can be selected with individual or multiple layers and combines the layers to one Print then Cut layer. Here is a video explaining Group, Attach, Weld and Unite ruclips.net/video/FNeV-2jYcAA/видео.htmlsi=f6OJ3lTyobNZCxvC
I'm kind of confused my design space looks different I'm on a Chromebook is that why? I'm a subscriber but missing certain features.Please help
Design Space often updates and makes small changes. What features are you missing? It could be that they are in a different location.
What kind of transfer paper did you use? Could you provide a link?
I don’t use transfer tape in this video. It’s just regular copy paper :)
When mine cuts it cuts on all the lines. Not the outline where it’s supposed to. Not sure how to fix this
Try making an offset around your image and then select both the offset and the image and flatten them together.
Hi, i tried using print and cut on my cricut explore air2 using photo paper but after the cutting process. i cannot peel the picture property, i need to use blade to remove it. any instructions on how to cut the pictures sharply
You can try different cut settings or add more pressure. Learn to make your own cut settings with this video ruclips.net/video/2UGIzKJyank/видео.htmlsi=j11g2Nt-NwTPOk1_
thank you so much for the info. I'm a newbie in cricut explore air 2. need more practice. thanks for video.
You’re welcome. Happy crafting!
I have a question please, can i use a pre paid visa card to pay for a month subscription and if i cant afford it next month i dont access it?
Im just not fond of a continual debit every month?
Please
If you buy / download the file it’s yours to use for life. Contact Design Bundle directly about payment information.
@@littlecraftnest wonderful thank you 😁
Not sure if you can help me out. When I did the print and cut on test paper it printed in color and I had no problems. When I went to print on the printable iron on it will not print in color now. I've checked to make sure grayscale was not on, tried resizing the image, selecting different paper type, restarting the computer, cricut, and printer, nothing seems to work!
Oh wow that's frustrating. I've never had that happen. All I can suggest is what you have done already. Check all your settings, restart everything and maybe call your printer company. I can't think of any reason why your printer is doing this. I really hope you can figure it out. All the best.
You could try going into your printer properties. Instead of “cntrl”+”p” use the “cntrl”+”shift”+”p”
My images shows like this but it said my Cricut can’t red sensors something like that can someone help me?
