Create Stunning Custom GIft tags with AI and your Cricut!
Imagine Art Link: www.imagine.art/
In this tutorial I will be showing you how to use a free AI program to create custom images for your Cricut projects. This should be used for personal use only. First go to your search engine and search for Imagine Art and click on the link. I also have the link in the description of this video. On the top right corner click sign in. If this is your first time create an account or sign in. Once the home page opens then click on Generate image. This program has free features but you are limited. Under model and style the ones without a crown are free. The rest of the setting are not able to be altered using the free version. Now I am going to go to the bottom and type in Christmas Mickey kissing Minnie under the mistletoe. As you can see Mickey has many extra hands and fingers. So I am going to add the negative prompt and try again. Each image takes a few moments so be Patient. This one is great. So I am going to click the download image button on the top here to use for my project. I have so much fun with this program. I encourage you to explore all the different styles and create your perfect project! It is not perfect and is constantly improving. Now we need to get this uploaded into Cricut design space. Open Cricut design space and start a new project. Click on upload and find your image. I like to click complex then, continue. You can crop the image if you choose. When using Image Art it does download the watermark onto the image. Some images you can crop this out. In this case it won’t matter and will be very difficult to see. Do this same process for as many images as you wish to use. Add them all to your canvas. Now for gift tags I chose the rounded corner square. Unlocked the size icon and made a rectangle. I changed the color of the background so you can see this better. Next I need to add the text. I typed to and from and aligned it from center to left. Now I found a text that I liked and size it. Before you duplicate this you want to click on flatten on the bottom. This will make the image where it will print the words and cut out the rectangle only. Duplicate it and take your first image and size it. Then I centered each image on to the square and placed each rectangle as close together as possible where it can still have space to cut each rectangle out. Once I made the first row I highlighted the entire row and duplicated it twice. I placed each row as close as possible to the next. Once the placement is complete. I like to attach the entire group of tags, this will keep them from being rearranged when you go to cut them out. I also want to flatten everything once again so that the image and writing are printed instead of trying to cut out each image. If you notice a red symbol over here that means that your image is too big for print and cut. They now have the option of auto resize. It will automatically make the image the correct size to be able to print and cut. I always feel like print and cut leads to a lot of wasted materials. At this time there is not a lot we can do about that. Now you are ready to make it. Connect your cricut to your computer or device. The first step is to print your stickers. I chose to use sticker paper for the ease of it but you can also use printable vinyl or just regular paper and tape them if needed. Select Send to printer and choose your printer. I toggle bleed to off since they are just cutting out the rectangle. Bleed allows your sticker to not have a white border. Next I like to select use system dialog so that I can make sure I have a quality print job. I then minimize cricut design space and make sure my printer is selected. Along with media quality and I like to choose photo paper matte finish for my stickers. This gives me the best quality without any white lines. Then Select print! Once my stickers have printed now I need to cut them out with my Cricut. Select your material. In my case I select sticker paper and continue. It is important to make sure you’re your paper is straight on the cutting mat. Your cricut reads the black lines to make sure it gets the cuts correct. Once my paper is loaded continue and hit the triangle to start cutting. This takes a little bit of time read the lines and cut but in the end you have beautiful custom tags you can make for any occasion!

Great thanks, just what I needed
very timely. and very helpful! thank you
What did you put in the hat it went too fast towels?
hello. what is name of machine
I don’t have a slice option my iPad. How do I do this
Cricut in moving back and forth, like a glitch, in the middle of a project. Dont know how to fix it
Does this picture upload work with any Cricut machine? I want to use stained glass patterns and cut them out of fabric.
Yes it should. This tutorial basically shows you how to manually create layers in cricut design space. So any machine that can cut it should work using this method.
do you have to do the color? can you leave it black and white?
Yes you can leave it black and white. I used colors to make it easier to see the different layers. Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Yesterday my head was so bad dealing with cricut how to do my images, until today I found you and your video was so helpful. thank you so much.
So happy to hear that and that this helped! Crafting can be so frustrating at times but all these little tips and tricks can make it more manageable. Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Totally worked! thank you SOOOO much
So glad you found this helpful! Thank you for taking the time to comment. Happy Crafting
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I definitely wanna get into customizing images & this video answered questions i had in mind. Especially when it comes to photos.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! So glad you found this helpful
I don’t have the ‘advanced’ setting in my Cricut so I can’t delete the colors…. Any suggestions?
What type of device are you using? Some options are not available on a smartphone over a computer. That may be the issue but not positive. Let me know! I will try to look into it
Amazing video, annoying background music.
I apologize for the music. It was too late to change it when I realized how overpowering it was. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Thank you so much for showing what it looks like using the small heat gun and without wiping first!
Thank you for the feedback and taking the time to comment! This helps my future videos in knowing what people are hoping to see!
Not cutting at all
You made that look so easy… thank you!
I am so glad it was helpful! Thank you for taking the time to comment! I hope this helps you expand your crafting
Amazing video! Thanks so much! :)
Glad you found this helpful! Thank you for taking the time to comment! Happy crafting
thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Your video with the step-by-step instructions is great and have motivated me to try this again.
So glad you found this helpful! Thank you for taking the time to comment. Happy crafting
❤ thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊! Thank you for taking the time to comment! Happy crafting
Have you of bead pens? Can you use those pens to print on??
No I have not heard of those! I will have to look into them. Not sure if the cricut can print on a pen. You may be able to sublimate or use printable vinyl or stickers!
Do you teach this for business cards
No but that is a great idea! I will work on a tutorial for that. Thank you for your input
The cut is not precise😥
Can you cure it with a uv light? Just like you would with gel polish? Thank you!
I bet if you use UV epoxy it would work that way. I haven't tried UV epoxy but I do know it cures very quick with a light. Not sure how you would keep it from dripping off though.....?
Watching in 2024 .... I just got one of those machine today 🎉
Congrats! Yes this tutorial is a bit dated now. Lots more project options out there! Welcome to the crafting world!
mu cuts aren't clean
These are just a few ideas. So many factors play a role in your cuts. I find some images or fonts just don't work for me and I have to adapt. Best of luck! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
thanks so much for this great tutorial… it was exactly what I looking for! Well done! ♥️♥️🇦🇺
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
There are many online image to svg converters that are free and are as easy as drag and drop.
Yes I agree. They have probably gotten better but when I made this video they did not convert the image well into a workable SVG. This method is helpful in some circumstances. Thank you for taking the time to comment!
It tears white cardstock (any weight), but cuts other colors fine. I've tried both the fine point and the deep cut blades. I've tried different settings, including intricate, default, light, yada yada...It's driving me nuts. I need to use white paper yardstick and have spent hours trying everything.
That is so frustrating and odd. I would think it wouldn't cut any paper if it was a setting or blade issue...... you have me stumped.
@@kristenscricutcorner2258 I really appreciated that you took the time to respond, even if you didn't have an answer. I was using the same Reflections cardstock from all the videos for my project and that I was using for portions in color. After a dozen attempts playing with settings and blades and no success, I dug up some 20 year old cardstock from an old project and it worked. It seems to be something in the way the fibers of that brand are laid, perhaps. The dye also seems to help to stiffen/strengthen it in the colored versions. You can feel the difference in colored vs white, even though they are supposed to be the same weight. Anyway, THANKS :) Maybe my rambling will help someone else having the same problem. ;)
Excellent tutorial. Thank you so much. 😊Linda
Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to comment!
This was EXACTLY what I needed help with. YOU are AWESOME! Thank you!
You're welcome! I am glad it was helpful! Thank you for taking the time to comment
I can't hear you above the background music
I apologize for that. I am unfortunately unable to change that in UA-cam without erasing and starting over. I have made sure my future videos have very little background music. Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Not cutting all the way through permanent vinyl
The “free” svg converter website asks for your credit card…that’s kind of sketch…
Must be an update...... darn I will have to look to see if there are better free options not requiring credit cards. They definitely didn't require one when I did this project. Thank you for letting me know
Go further down the screen, it's free, I thought the same
what wed are there to help
can u help with that i am do crrict we can not figure out what app is that
Great video and thank you showing on how to take a png to a svg file..
Your welcome! I am glad I could help! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Thank you so so much I was finding alot of cool and cute Svg but I'm afraid to use them for personal use because I want to start a small bussiness but didn't know if I could thank you for helping us new beginners out here
I am so glad you found this helpful! Good luck with starting your small business! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
ı love you stranger thank you
Your welcome! I am glad you found it helpful. Thank you for taking the time to comment
Amazing video! I searched through so many videos and yours is the best, hands down!!! Thank you so much!
Thank you for taking the time to comment! I am so glad you found it helpful!
Very helpful, thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for taking the time to comment
Help… I can’t find ‘advanced options’… 😂
This is one of the most informative videos that I’ve found .. BUT, I just wish the background music wasn’t there. It is very distracting which makes it really hard to focus on what you are saying.
Thank you for you feedback! I have made sure in future videos it is barely heard!
After my cutter is done cutting my design its just continue to cut my print in half 😢. How can i stop this?
I wonder if this may be a bug in the software. Has this always done that?
There’s no print button and yes the operation is on print than cut ): can you only use the computer for this option now?
Do you have an air printer? Have you been able to print from other programs besides design space? Cricut design space troubleshooting suggests go to settings, unpair your machine and reconnect to see if that can fix the issue? Hope you can get it to work!
When I put a square over the image I want to slice, I selected everything and the slice option did not light up?
Same.
You can only slice two layers at a time. So make sure that as you are building your image you either combine or slice your layers as you go so that you only have 2 layers. Then the slice will light up once it is selected.
Thank you so much for your tutorial. It was so easy and simple to follow 😊
Thank you so much for the feedback! Glad it was helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Hi! Can you upload your own designs to print out?
Yes. You can upload any image into cricut design space to print or cut out depending on what you want you use!
What kind of vinyl is this?
I used permanent vinyl on this project.
Love this - thank you for sharing - BTW - the Dollar Tree pink tool is my absolute favorite weeding tool!
Thank you so much! I love the dollar tree weeding tool above all the other weeding tools! Thank you for taking the time to comment! Happy crafting.
So thankful for your video!! ♥️♥️
