@@barbra429 Thanks for your question. I'm not sure what you mean. Which part do you think would be easier in Canva?

@SVGTuts I was just wondering if it would be faster.

I'm thinking you're asking, "Wouldn't it be faster/easier to create the file in Canva?" Is that what you're asking?

@@SVGTuts LOL, yes.

Okay. I just wanted to make sure I'm addressing the right question. 🙂 This video is a following up to this video ua-cam.com/video/Fon4TW0KCGk/v-deo.html. This video's purpose is to specifically address what to do if you created the file in Cricut Design Space and you want to use it elsewhere. As for creating files in Canva, it would seem the obvious answer to your question would be "Of course," but FOR ME it's not that simple. Canva was never meant to be a tool for making printables. I would say that's one of the reasons downloading their files as SVGs (which is only available if you're a paying user) doesn't get you a TRUE vector file. I use Canva for things I intend to use on the web, things that do not require 300dpi, but I use true vector tools for things I intend to print. The "Hustle Mode On" file is something I would print, so I'd use Cricut Design Space or Adobe Illustrator or CorelVector or Kittl or Inkscape or PhotoPea or Silhouette Design Studio or another tool that has been designed to create true vectors, which create points and paths and not pixels/dots. Thanks again for the question, because I'm sure you're not the only one who was also thinking along those same lines. 🙂

Awesome! I'm so glad to hear that! 🎉 Do you mind sharing the things you needed to modify to get it to work the way you needed it to?

@SVGTuts Well, I didn't understand how to use the offset option, nor the contouring. I also didn't realize I needed to Change it to a basic cut, then back to print and cut. I just learned so much.

Awwww. Got it.

I appreciate your help. You are a wonderful teacher!

Thanks so much for the super! ❤

@@SVGTuts You are very welcome.

I just enabled it. Thank you for asking and reminding me about it. 🙂

Thanks for your question. Can you please expound a bit more on what exactly you need help with? Is it the Print Then Cut itself or the quality of the PNGs or something else?

@SVGTuts Hi. So, I make greeting cards in Canva. I create the text and graphics in Canva. I have to then download and save to my desktop. I then upload to cricut. But, when I print and cut the card. The text doesn't look crisp, it looks kinda blurry. Basically, it seems the quality of the image changes once uploaded and printed in Cricut.

@SVGTuts I print on heavy cardstock, using the photo setting and best print quality. I also set it to 300 dpi.

Are you using Canva free or Canva Pro?

"I print on heavy cardstock, using the photo setting and best print quality. I also set it to 300 dpi." <-- Got it. I don't think that the printing part is the issue. I'm thinking it may be the exporting part.

De nada. Gracias por ver y comentar.

Hello, and thanks for your question. If you have a shape and then text under the shape, and you want them printed out and then cut together, you will need to have either an offset or another shape under both. Please view my video for a visual explanation svgtuts.com/4-johnie2580 Apologies for the rough video. I didn't do any editing, because I wanted to get it done quickly for you.

@@SVGTuts Thank you for your quick reply I appreciate it ...Basically am making a sticker for my Dj Contoller paper size is A3 which inside will have circles, squares and rectangles where the nobs and buttons will fit after cutting, but underneath each of this cuts there's wording for each nobs and buttons which will be covered by the stick when applied...That is what I want printed and not cut . Basically the whole of my A3 paper will have all the shapes cut within not individually which the cricut is doing perfectly but also messing with the small printed wording underneath.

@@SVGTuts I just wish they would make it simple on that menu. -Basic Cut -Print -Print and Cut Bla bla

@@johnie2580 Aw, got it. Were you able to get it to print and cut like you want it yet?

@@johnie2580 The way you flatten in the key. I think what would make it easier if it the Cricut could actually print. 😆 It's the two-step process of printing on a printer and then taking that page and having the Cricut cut it in all the right places without cutting in all the places you don't want it to cut that makes it so darn hard.

You're welcome. Apologies for the delay in replying, and thank you for watching and commenting. I'll be doing another video on this same subject with another way to accomplish this! I hope you'll check out that video, too!

I'm so glad the video helped! Thanks for watching and commenting.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. I actually do have an IG account for svgtuts, but it's empty at the moment. I will be posting to it soon, though. Here's the link instagram.com/svgtuts

Thanks for watching my tutorials and commenting. When you say, " I want to print directly onto gold or silver shimmer vinyl," I'm thinking specifically of Cricut's Printable Vinyl in gold and silver cricut.pxf.io/q4Y5Xg. If you want the gold/silver to show through for the lettering, then make the offset a dark color (like black or dark purple or dark brown) and make the lettering white. If you want the offset to show in gold/silver around the lettering, and you want the lettering to have a fill color, then fill the lettering with the color(s) you want and make the offset white. Unless you have an inkjet printer that prints with white ink from a white ink cartridge/tank, the printer will ignore the white as if the vinyl you're printing on is white. I hope that answers the question you asked. If I totally missed the mark, please let me know, and I'll try to clarify.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂

I can't believe Adobe hasn't brought the collage maker back to Adobe Express yet., especially since they announced that it would be coming back. Sigh. I tried using the grid system thingy, but it was a bust for me. I didn't try it again. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You're very much welcome! 🙂 Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for your question. Did you set the design to Print Then Cut before going to Make It? I'm booting up my Macbook right now to see if there i indeed any difference between Cricut Design Space on the PC and Mac.

@@SVGTuts - Wondering what you discovered.

Apologies for the delay, Joseph. My Macbook is super old and took forever to boot up, and then I got distracted by something else and let the task totally slip my mind. Please forgive me. I'm NOT seeing the option to Save as PDF on my Mac. However, this might not be a difference between PC and Mac in as much as it is the fact that I do not have Acrobat or Acrobat Reader installed on my Mac. I did try to install Acrobat Reader, but the Macbook is so old it can't handle the latest version of Acrobat Reader, and I was not able to find an older version of it to install. I do have the Adobe Creative Cloud suite on my PC, which comes with Adobe Acrobat, and several applications that I have on my PC have PDF functionality built into them, so that may be why I can do PDF from Cricut Design Space on my PC. I have discovered another way to do the conversion from Cricut Design Space to standalone SVG, which does not require Acrobat at all. I'll be posting it within the next several days. I will reply to your question here to let you know it's live.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂

Yes, explaining things with the correct words and phrases cuts down on confusion.

Hello, thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate your time! Are you saying that FLATTEN is greyed out?

@@SVGTuts yes. Thanks so much for getting back to me! So when I removed the scoring lines and the background square cut I was able to group all the graphics and text. I was then able to flatten them. However, when I attached it back to the scoring lines and background, it cut out the outside shape of the flattened graphics & text and the outside square. How do I connect it to a background & have it only cut the background out? Don't know if this makes sense without seeing what I was making, but thanks for any insight you may have!

View this follow-up video I did about Print Then Cut ua-cam.com/video/-wlDadOZ7Y4/v-deo.html. If this doesn't get you where you're trying to go, then let me know if you'd like to set up a screen-sharing session, and we can work on it together.

On what device are you using Cricut Design Space; a laptop/desktop, tablet or phone? Also, are you using the live version or the beta version of Cricut Design Space?

Aw, thanks! You are absolutely welcome! 🙂 Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hey, Tatiana. If Align Center is disabled, that usually means that what you're trying to center is already centered or you haven't selected two or more layers that need to be centered.

Hi Faydra thank you for your reply. That makes sense. It’s happening when I try to center my text in one of those Cricut editable (pantry) labels Do you lead any Cricut course? That would be awesome

Oh! It's happening with text! This is something I need to create a video on. If I'm thinking of this correctly, then it has something to do with the font properties as to why it's not centering properly and won't let you center it. I'll work on a video. Yes, I'll be doing Cricut courses in the very near future, and I'll be doing live video conferences once I get my community site, SVG Tuts Crew, finished.

I’m looking forward to attending one of your live class/course. When you do, where would you post the class announcement?

I'll post it here on UA-cam and in the SVG Tuts Crew community. 🙂

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂I appreciate your time.

Tatiana, first let me apologize for taking so long to reply. Please forgive my delay, and thank you for your questions. Your question: why did the yellow layer get removed from the group once you removed the black part of the heart? My best answer: I really don't know why it does that. I'm thinking that Cricut Design space is "seeing" it as a new layer and removes it from the group and makes it a standalone layer because I selected it but didn't select anything else in that group. It appears that Cricut Design Space "saw" that yellow layer as now a part of the layers that go with the SLICEs that were created from my last request. Your question: Why are there two solid black hearts on the layers panel? My best answer: When you create an offset, you're creating a duplicate of what's on top of the offset. In my example, when I SLICEd two things--the original design and the offset--I got three results/layers--the original design is on one layer, the part of the offset under the original design is another layer and the part of the offset outside the original design is another layer. You're not actually seeing two black hearts. There's one that does look black, but it's just the visual representation of what's in the grouped layers of the original design, which looks black because it's so tiny. Your question: I find the layers panel confusing. Do you have a video explaining how to work with the layers panel? My answer: I do not have a video on working with layers, but I'm going to make one or more because you've given me the idea. 🙂 Thanks for letting me know you'd be interested in that type of video tutorial. In the meantime, check out my short video of how to get cheat sheets from learn.cricut.com ua-cam.com/video/uLyEWPdnLTs/v-deo.html. There's a free one about working with layers.

You’re the BEST Faydra. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide such a thorough answer I am really looking forward to your video ☺️

Thank you Faydra

You're welcome. I'll be in touch when the video is live!

Absolutely! 🙂

Aw, thank you for this. I have always believed that teaching is my calling. I used to teach 8th grade American Studies, and many of my students used to tell me the same thing. I haven't heard it in years, so it's so awesome to see it in writing! ❤

Thank you so much for the encouragement, and I'm grateful you found my videos, too. 🙂 I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.

You're welcome! I'm so glad you watched and commented. It's gratifying to know I was a small part of your success! 🙂

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hello, and thank you for your question. You wouldn't need an offset at all for this. If you want the objects on top of a square, just choose the square shape and make it the size you want the sticker to be. They arrange your picture, name and quantity on the square where you want them to print. Select everything and then FLATTEN. When it cuts, it'll only cut out the square and not the stuff on the square. Please let me know if a video would be more helpful, and I'd be happy to make one quickly for you. 🙂

OMG@@SVGTuts I cannot thank you enough!! . I feel like I know stuff now!. It Worked

@@Aceuvnone Awesome! I'm glad it worked. You actually bring up a good point. There are a lot of videos on UA-cam about doing Print Then Cut with offsets, but I can't recall seeing one or any about doing Print Then Cut without an offset but with a shape, like a square, circle or polygon. That'll be my next video, actually.

Hello, MaryAnn. Thanks so much for watching and for commenting, and I appreciate your question. Just so I can give you my best advice, with the card on the mat, is the part you want to cut out on the left or the right of the card?

I’m only trying to cut the rectangle out of the middle of the front of the card. Thank you for taking the time to write:) Please don’t go to trouble:) I may have to just use my exact knife, but I just hate to not use my expensive machine and software! I feel certain there must be a way for this to work, right?!?😉😊

Definitely! I will make a video for you tomorrow and get it posted. 🙂

Many apologies for the delay!!! I finally just went and purchased a greeting card from the Dollar Tree to do the video. I could not find one in the house anywhere!
