Such a great video!! I have a WeCreat laser cutter and am still learning how to use it. Was so frustrated that I couldn't take a design from Cricut Design Space directly to the laser cutter because my files weren't saving as svg with clean lines. Spent too many hours with trial and error...and then I found your video!! Thank you so much!!
OMG! I am so glad I came across this video. This has to be one of the most valuable things I have found on UA-cam! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I am pretty well versed with my cricut but I was never able to learn or figure out how to make a file that I could upload to Etsy. This was incredible. Thank you!
WOW!!! This is freaking AWESOME!!! Thank you so very much for this tutorial!! What a game changer for me. I can't wait to try this. Thank you again!!! ❤🍓🍊🍋🍉🍒🍍❤
This was an amazing tutorial. I tried to teach myself this from a blog and this was hands down so much better. Easy to understand and thank you for teaching me how to check and make sure I did it correctly!!
I wish that the largest pieces weren't sent to the front. It really messes with everyone. BUT beggars can't be choosers LOL Inkscape is free, so I'll take the head scratcher LOL
Perhaps this is a convenient opportunity to advice all Cricut users who watch this video that they should start learning Inkscape in order to create their own stuff for Cricut. The entire process should be the other way around. You create in Inkscape, save as SVG and upload to the Design Space. I never create anything in the Design Space. That's how most seasoned Cricut users do. You can use any other vector program to do the same. Many use Illustrator. I am personally a Corel Draw guy. This way you will be able to use all your creative work for any other non Cricut related application. Vector programs will give you infinite creative possibilities, unlike very limited Design Space.
@@rd-gi6jw I 100% agree with you. Personally I do all my designing in Inkscape (have several other tutorials of me using this program). Not many people know how to design outside of design space. I'm hoping by posting a video like this will encourage others to watch my other Inkscape videos and be inspired to start using other programs. It's so much easier to design in Inkscape and upload your own svg files to wherever you need to go versus taking the LONG way of doing the design work in cricut and then going backwards from there.
@rd-gi6jw ... I agree 100% ... I had some projects that I had created in Design Space and I have been moving them over to Inkscape. It's such a great tool for what it is and it's free!
@ Ashlee Falco -- Wowzer!!!!! I paid how much for a create your own svg course that I can't even finish because it is too difficult?! I watched this without taking notes and could understand but not implement. But I will watch again with my pen and paper because I AM a note taker and it is so obvious that these are simple instructions to follow. One question: I use a pc, are the keyboard shortcuts specific to a mac or specific to inkscape? Subscribed btw!
Thanks for the sub. I'm assuming the command key on a PC would be the windows key. But one way to view was the short cut keys are is view them in the Inkscape program. If you go all the way to the top of your screen you'll see "file, edit, view, layer, etc". If you click on, let's say path, you'll see the name of the operation and then on the left you'll see your shortcut keys. Hopefully that's helpful.
Thank you so much! This is amazing! I do have a question about Inkscape. I recently purchased an OmTech 50w co2 laser engraver/cutter. Can I use Inkscape with the laser or do I need a different program?
When I try to save the file Inkscape send a pop up that’s say it was saved with a format that may cause data loss, and when I send the file for downloads there’s no option to save the image or send to files.im confused
if you save it as an Inkscape svg you won't get the error. If you save it as a .svg you will. However, I've never seen data loss when I save it that way.
When I try to transfer over my screenshot, I get a file transfer notice says “file transfer is either not supported or not enabled. Please contact your system administrator or check your system logs.” Please help
This was such a great tutorial! Thank you!
I am so glad it helped!

I agreee, i have tried for so looooong. she Ashlee does an awesome job explaining
This was an amazing tutorial. I tried to teach myself this from a blog and this was hands down so much better. Easy to understand and thank you for teaching me how to check and make sure I did it correctly!!
yay! Glad you found this super helpful!
You are the best! Following along with you is always so easy.

Thanks for this! I've been trying to find out forever how to export my cricut project to an SVG file!
yay! Glad I could help!
Thank you sooooo much Ashlee
Thank you for watching
When i save it and try to open it up there is nothing there
Great video with easy to follow instructions … even if it is 9 months later! 😊
yay! Glad you found me!
Omg ... I did not know the largest piece ended up in front 🙈 sometimes know those small things helps so much!! Thank you!!
I wish that the largest pieces weren't sent to the front. It really messes with everyone. BUT beggars can't be choosers LOL Inkscape is free, so I'll take the head scratcher LOL
Right?!? 😂😂😂 Now I will be converting more things without wondering .... "how do I select that little piece?" Thank YOU!

Excellent. Is there a print out for the commands?
shoot. I wish!! There are so many commands for Inkscape that it would be as thick as the Bible.
Thank you so much! This is amazing!
I do have a question about Inkscape. I recently purchased an OmTech 50w co2 laser engraver/cutter. Can I use Inkscape with the laser or do I need a different program?
I have a glowforge, xtool, and epilog and use Inkscape to create my svg’s for my lasers. I’m not 100% certain about Omtech though.

Thank you. I really appreciate the info.

@@ashleefalco maybe it’s because my computer is old lol
Wish you. Would say what operation you are selecting instead of saying “CMD SHIFT +”. Made it so confusing to a new user of Inkscape
Go up to paths (top of your screen), and you’ll see all the shortcuts there.
When I try to transfer over my screenshot, I get a file transfer notice says “file transfer is either not supported or not enabled. Please contact your system administrator or check your system logs.”
Please help
I'm not sure, I've never seen this error notice before
