Oh, wow! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. It's always good to know that I can be of some help to others, and I'm especially glad you were able to make your son happy. 🙂 That's even better news!

Thank you for your question. Please view my short video here ua-cam.com/video/DZjv7zgh0XI/v-deo.html. If it does not answer your question, please reach out again! I'll be standing by!

Hello, I'm just checking back in to see if you were able to get done what you needed to get done.

You're welcome. I'm glad you were able to get your stickers completed and I'm so happy you found the tutorial helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting!🙂

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

You're welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting. The key to flattening is to make sure that everything above the "base" layer flattens to/with the base layer. If you have one layer with text and a couple of other layers with images, maybe one on the left and one on the right, then you want to put them on a base layer; the base layer being a shape or an offset. That means you'll have four layers: [1] Text [2] Right Image [3] Left Image [4] Shape or Offset. #4 is at the bottom of all layers. Make EVERY layer "Print Then Cut," including the base layer, and then Flatten. Even if you Group them, you still need to flatten them all together. Even if you Unite them, you still need to flatten them all together. Then your Cricut machine will only cut the outline of the, for lack of a better way of saying it, widest layer in the flattened layers. If you have all the layers flattened together as they should be, then the "Attach" option should be disabled (greyed out), so you can't even use it. If you have things outside the flattened layers, for example, you're also cutting out other things on the Canvas to use up more of the media, then the "Attach" layer won't be disabled. To test that the design you want to Print Then Cut will actually not cut out every letter/image/object, turn off the visibility of everything else [hover over layers until you see the grey eye on the right and click it for each layer you want to hide] on your Canvas except that one flattened thingy and see if the "Attach" button is disabled. If it is, then you're good to go, and you can turn the visibility back on for everything else you want to cut. I'm actually in the process of remaking/updating this video with some new things I discovered that help me with Print Then Cut, like looking to see if the Attach option is greyed out, and I also want to remake/update the video because stuff in Cricut Design Space has changed. Please let me know if you want me to reply to your comment again when the new video is live, and thanks again for your time.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You're welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting and letting me know I helped in a small way! 🙂

Thank you for watching and commenting. My best encouragement is to just take your time and don't get discouraged if you make some mistakes. It took me many errors to get the process correct, which is why once I did I created this tutorial. I was hoping to keep others from struggling as much as I had struggled when I first started working with Print Then Cut. Please check out my other Print Then Cut tutorials hsvgtuts.com/printthencut. These are tutorials I created specifically based on viewer questions. I'm here if you have any questions or concerns, so please reach out!

Are you using a file from Cricut Design Space, or is this an envelope that you designed yourself? If it's a Cricut Design Space file, may I have the file number, please? And, just to make sure I'm understanding what you're trying to accomplish, let me type it back to you... You want to make a liner for the middle part of the envelope without the liner also covering the side and bottom flaps. Let me know if I have that right.

You're welcome. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Can you give me some more details about your process? Are you using Cricut fonts or your own fonts? Are the letters in your words intended to be cut-outs? I haven't yet experienced my words coming out like blobs, but I'm very interested to know how you're setting up your cut file.

Thank you. I appreciate you watching and commenting. 🙂

Thank you so much for the Super Thanks! Every penny of it is greatly appreciated!!!

Awesome! You're welcome, and thank you for watching and commenting!

Aw, you're most welcome, and I'm glad the video tutorial helped. There's a "thanks" button on all my videos where you can make a love offering if you're so inclined. ♥ It's not mandatory by any means, but every little bit helps to support the channel and make it possible for me to help others. Please feel to reach out with other questions. 🙂

Thank you for watching and commenting with a request for assistance. I'll make a video for you and have it posted soon, as in today! I just want to test the cut before making the video to make sure that I'm giving you solid information.

@@SVGTutsthank you!!

Many, many apologies for the delay. Here's the video I was supposed to get posted yesterday ua-cam.com/video/Gf1PEw65SUY/v-deo.html. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

You're welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting. 🙂

You're welcome. I'm glad you were able to get your iron-ons completed for your friend! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

You're welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting. I have a short playlist on the subject that cover other viewers' questions after they watched this first video ua-cam.com/play/PL9ezRUNoWTsaVbjIF4b6Pr2UA8m8HwbAY.html. You might find another one of the videos helpful, too.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You're welcome, and thank you for watching and commenting. I'm so glad the video helped. I have some others in a short playlist that might be helpful, also svgtuts.com/printthencut. They're based on specific questions other viewers had after watching the first video. 🙂

@@PaulaBerryplbeary16 Yes, you will need printable vinyl.

@@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.
