Hello everyone. 👋🏽 I'm from California and recently got my Cricut. I live in an Independent Senior Liviving Community. We also just got a Cricut for our craft program and hope to elevate the our project and increase the challenge. Im really looking forward to working through the videos and I also got the books.
That's awesome Sandy.

OMG JENNIFER!!! I’ve been DYING for you to do an Inkscape tutorial. PLEASE!!! I was so excited to see the snip in this video. I’ve watched other Inkscape tutorials and wished that you had one every single time.
My Cut Above class teaches how to use Inkscape!🥰
Thanks you for such great videos. I just bought a CricutJoy and am brand new to cricut crafting. I'm pretty computer illiterate, so this video showing how to navigate on my computer to find and open SVG files was extremely helpful. Your thoroughness and step by step explanations were invaluable. I'm going straight to your second video in this series and can't wait to download some files from you library to get me started.
Wonderful! Have fun!
You are the perfect teacher! Thank you so much.
You're very welcome!🥰
Hi Jennifer - I won a Cricut a couple years ago, and have been doing just the beginner stuff. Now I want to branch out into all the beautiful things I see on Facebook and the Web. I think I have the basics, now to learn more. Thanks for sharing. Love the way you teach. Continued success. Love PegEgg
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for all you do! I'm brand new to all this and eager to learn!!
Welcome! 😃
Thank you, thank you for this series. Ready to learn how to both upload as well as create my own SVG files!
Glad to hear that!
Thank you so much!! Eagerly awaiting 2nd video🤗

Great tutorial! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
I am just learning :) Thank you!
Wonderful!
What I’m struggling with right now is making seamless wrap patterns for tumblers. Specifically, using the slice function to make it so both edges line up. Ugh, I’m so frustrated, but your videos are definitely helping me to understand more about my Cricut so I’m confident that I’ll find the answers to my seamless pattern questions in one of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤️
You are so welcome! Here is a tutorial. jennifermaker.com/sublimation-tumblers/
@@JenniferMaker Thank you, but I don’t need to know how to sublimate. I’m trying to figure out how to create a seamless wrap pattern in a graphic design app (I use the design space app or vectornator app. I’m hoping to make my own designs, print them on vinyl and then wrap tumblers.
I love the way you teach, it is so easy to understand. I hope to learn about making SVG cut files to sell. I really want to open up a small business.
That's wonderful to hear! Best of luck!
@@JenniferMaker I purchased the Cut Above Platinum package so that I can learn how to sell my products. Thank you so much!!!
I am so excited about finding this. I just got my cricket and don't think I'm ready for the cat above quite yet. I wouldn't want to waste anyone's time since I am such a beginner.
You'll never waste anyone's time, so you know. We're all here to learn
Hi Jennifer! Thank you for this Series. I asked in the Chat if I missed something???.... had I checked my
email I would have seen the Notification. Not good at keeping up with it. My apologies. 🤗
Thank you for everything you do Jennifer. BTW...I love your dress, it looks great on you.
Thanks so much! ❤️
ThAnk you for your help
You are so welcome🥰
Thank you Jennifer for the thorough tutorial. I have had my Maker for 3 years & my Joy for 4 years, taken both out of the box and just get completely frustrated! I can only seem to transfer vinyl so far, but not what I thought my creativity heights would be enjoying. Finally, when I watch your videos the light bulb turns on.. Must say, I enjoy the most is that you DO NOT speak like an auctioneer, right over my head. Again, thank you, I going to give it an honest chance again.

Greetings from Arizona ❤
Hello!
thank you xxxxx
My pleasure!
Thanks for making the complicated Moremona paletable. My biggest struggle is/was keeping track of the svg FileMerge and sorting out which to uwe wehena You unzip
Thank you
You're welcome🥰
Thank you so much for svgs and your personal experience from trial and error. The thing that frustrates me the most is remembering how to extract the files once I down load them. I'm sure the more I do it, the easier it will become and I won't have to look for it everytime.
You can download the free workbook. jennifermaker.lpages.co/the-joy-of-svgs/
I would love to learn how to create SVG files from photo images. Thank you!
sounds and looks easy, but i will get to grips with this. Thank you
You can do it!
Thank you Jennifer. I struggle with all the multiple pieces that show up on the Canvas when I'm trying to use an svg that has multiple colors.
Very easy to follow. I'm a person that downloads lots of files (mostly flight simulated related) and find it much easier if you don't unzip the files in the downloads folder (on a PC). I find it much easier to move the zip file to a seperate folder for storage. THEN is easier to unzip the files in the storage folder. As you know, without changing defaults, the unzip(ing) creates a folder with the unzipped files ready for use. Keeping the the downloads folder clean will allow you to know, what files you have explored and what need to be looked at further. Additionally, you will find it easier to hae the files in your image folder before you open it. This allows the software to know where your images. It's a nightmare to have the software pointing to some images files in "this folder" and some in "that folder".
Thank you! I am a Mac user and find a PC to be more challenging.
Jennifer, thank you for this. I just downloaded a SVG and have no idea how to add it to Design Space. I have a Mac. Thank you in advance for doing these videos.
You can see how to do that here. Macs are a simple procedure. You can even just drag it in to Design Space. jennifermaker.com/the-joy-of-svgs-training-series
@@JenniferMaker Thank you Jennifer. You are so awesome!
Thank you for a thorough, easy to understand tutorial. My biggest problem so far is how to upload to cricut design space. I get so far and then get stuck. Can't wait for your next video.
You can do it!
Hi, I wanted to design a D/L card in the shape of a number one, managed to do the number but couldn't flip it so it was the opposite so I could join them together with a score line. I love the easy way you explain things on your videos/
You could make a duplicate and then rotate the number and weld it together.
I love your videos, you make learning make sense. I have been trying to figure out how to create my own svgs to use and share, but I don't know what software to use. I have a windows computer and I would like to try a free software out first. Any suggestions or tips?
You I teach that in A Cut Above using Illustrator and Inkscape. jennifermaker.lpages.co/cut-above-svg-design-course-about/#pricing-early-bird
I make my own greeting cards. I have had problems with where to place them on Design Space, how to set the fold lines, and how to cut out the whole card. I think I have the "print then cut" part ok but a refresher would be great.
Here is a refresher. jennifermaker.com/how-to-use-printable-vinyl-with-cricut/
This will be my first time trying a cut file.
you can do it!🥰
Hello Jennifer..
You are amazing!
I struggle with print then cut. I download an image and I do not know how to cut around the image(svg file) or name image properly with my cricut! How can do this properly?
You can name it anything you like to remember it. To cut around the image you can put a shape behind it. Here is a tutorial. jennifermaker.com/print-cut-cricut-transfer-tshirts/
Hello, Would love to do layers on iron on shirts!! Thank you
Here is a tutorial. jennifermaker.com/how-to-layer-vinyl-on-a-shirt/
Would love to learn
That's great!
Hi hope you well...can you please show me how to download a spiderman picture for iron on. And how to add to canvas ...
Thanks, Jennifer this was very helpful! However, I do have to ask you how do you convert a jpg file to svg file say if you want to use a photo to create a project? Thanks
Here is one of my tutorials that may help you, jennifermaker.com/how-to-make-an-svg-file-in-inkscape/ 💗
I have had a Cricut air 2 for sometime, but I’ve never used it. I am trying to learn design space and I figured the best thing to do would be to jump right in. Maybe use some of the files that are already created to begin with. I get the hip kit club monthly kit, and I would like to be able to download and use some of the free cut files.
Yes, jump right in and use the free files for sure. One step at a time. We have a free series of online classes that show you how to set up and begin creating with your machine as a new Cricut owner! Here's the link to sign up: makeracademy.com/cricutkickoff
Wanting to learn how to make my own SVG files from designs I want to MAKE
Yay! You can do it!
I'm on a Mac and I didn't see the first part of the finding and downloading on the mac using chrome. In the video we're on the Windows machine, and then all of a sudden at 15:12 we find ourselves on a Mac looking at a downloads folder. Not a huge deal as I think I can figure it out, but I want to make sure I haven't missed an important step. Thanks!
Thank you! I will take a look at it.
I use my Cricut to cut patterns for making purses. Have a hard time getting the file to my Cricut Design Space. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Hi Jennifer I can't find the SVG for the snowflake candy holder how do I down to my circuit design space because I would love to make the snow flake candy holder🙏🥰

HI Jennifer -- i would love it if there were links to click ahead in the video to just the device that I will be using. Can you add that to the UA-cam version, please? Thanks!!
You can scan ahead in the video here. Each segment is marked and you can watch it from there.
Hi Jennifer do you have a video tutorial for sewing dust covers for easy press machines?
No, but here is one for the Cricut machines. jennifermaker.com/cricut-maker-mat-organizer-dust-cover/
Can you turn a google picture to an svg?
The compatible files you can use in Design Space are SVG, PNG, JPG, DXF, GIF, and BMP.
Hi Jennifer, I’m brand new to this. My very first Cricut arrived yesterday and I’ve been watching your videos and others to learn the basics. I was able to upload some svg’s yesterday but for some reason today the files I download are difficult to find. They are not going to my download folder like they did yesterday. I am working on a windows laptop. How do I choose where the file goes so I can easily locate them? Also, once you upload them onto DS can you delete the files in your computer? Thank you! You are an amazing teacher!
You can delete the files from your computer. jennifermaker.com/the-joy-of-svgs-training-series
My downloads don't show up until I click all files, instead of custom files.
Hello Jennifer, I was just wondering about the separate SVG folders for Windows & MacOS/iOS - is it because the instructions on how to download the SVG to the device & then upload it to Cricut Design Space are different, or are there other differences too? Thanks you so much for your helpful videos
The two operating systems vary so I point them out.
@@JenniferMaker Thank you so much for taking the time to reply & for being so thoughtful & thorough with your videos & instructions. I’d not seen anyone take the time to cover both tablets & desktop devices on both operating systems before, so had gone deep into over-thinking mode!!!
I am currently struggling with a avg cut file, when I upload it the logo is cut into layers and not lined up, I am wanting to print on sublimation paper to make a cup. How do I get the image too stick as one.
Group it together and attach. jennifermaker.com/print-cut-cricut-transfer-tshirts/. jennifermaker.com/how-to-use-printable-vinyl-with-cricut/
I don’t know what to do when a file in several layers uploads into Design Space as a single color and won’t allow me to separate the file into its different layers.
If the file has several layers you can change the color of the different layers in Design Space in operation.
@@JenniferMaker Thank you. Going to try it now.
I know how to create svgs, but I would love to know how I can make my own svg cut files with everything linked in one upload like you do. That can be shared outside of Cricut Design Space, but don't know how to access the Design Space files outside of the programme, and there is no way (I can see) of downloading them. How do you manage to create these cut files to share??
I make them in Illustrator. You can check out what is taught here. jennifermaker.lpages.co/cut-above-svg-design-course-about/#pricing-early-bird
I so enjoy your site I struggle but stress I want svg how to cut different colours how does it know how to do

oh - here i am Mrs Nuisance again - I've now part downloaded the SVG file, thanks to your reply, Jennifer - but you say don't double click it after extracting, but wait for the next video. So it now shows as a folder, after being extracted. But your next video shows dragging across a file with a blue circle next to it - but my folder hasn't got to that stage yet, because I haven't double clicked it! Oh dear - I'm not normally this dumb.
Watch again and then if you are still having issues send my team an email at hello@jennifermaker.com with detailed info and they can help you out!🥰
Hi Jennifer, I have the problem down loading the files all together
Here is the entire course. jennifermaker.com/the-joy-of-svgs-training-series
Good evening from Arizona. I do really good until I get to the zip/unzip part of downloading SVGs.
You can do it 😊
Whenever I upload an image, it says select image type your image image will be uploaded in a single layer. Why and how do I make it separate layers when I have not even uploaded it yet?
My layered images will all be in the single SVG. Make sure to ungroup the image in Design Space.
Size of mat I want is not there.
I have trouble with making a design into an SVG file in Cricut Design Space
You can make SVGs in Illustrator and Inkscape then upload them to Design Space.
Hi I'm new got a circuit explorer 3 tying to do t shirts how do I know how much vinyl to use
You would just measure the area on the shirt and size your design appropriately and then you will be able to see how much of the vinyl you will need. ❤️
@@JenniferMaker thanks because I'm wasting a lot. Does it shows in cricut design space
@@JenniferMaker thanks
Is it possible to do a video on how you actually make the SVG files? I’d love to do some more custom pieces of artwork to upload but I don’t know where to start with that
I teach it in A Cut Above. jennifermaker.com/cut-above-svg-design-course-about/
@@JenniferMaker awesome!! I know what I’m going to be saving up for 😊 thanks so much!
What software will you be using to create the svg files?
Illustrator and Inkscape.
@@JenniferMaker Great!
Hello everybody 😊
Hello
I need downloading svg files for dummy's. I have tried several times and go round and round with no downloads to show for it. Help
Take a look at this tutorial!🥰
why does my uploaded svg come up as print then cut. if I put it to basic cut only then it is black. So frustrated. Can you help
go back through the steps. Are you certain it is an SVG and not a PNG that you are uploading?🥰
@@JenniferMaker it said it was an SVG. I am going to go back through all of the steps following your instructions,if that doesn't work,I'll comment again. Thank you so much!!
I think I get the find and download part of this video, but how can I organize these svg files after downloading and can I then delete the zip file?
You can organize your files by say holiday, designer etc. Once you extract the files you can delete the zip file🥰
@@JenniferMaker I am loving your videos and all that you do. Thanks for answering my first question, but where do you set these individual folders. In other words, desktop, one drive, dropbox?
I have problems with finding svg’s after downloading them, without searching for hours and then may not find them.
When you download them, upload them right away into Design Space so they are there when you need them.
I struggle with finding the software program for making svgs. And understanding that software. I need free software, unfortunately, I wish I could buy it, as I know this would make it easier to understand.
Inkscape is free to use.
I struggle when purchasing a svg bundle and find out the seller uses Google drive. I can’t figure out how to transfer the file from Google onto my iPad. Thank you for all your videos, even ‘slow’ people like me can understand!
Watch video 2. There are 3 videos. jennifermaker.com/the-joy-of-svgs-training-series
I did everything you just taught and I'm still not able to open the files. I get this error message that i dont have any app tobppen the file
What device are you on?🥰
@@JenniferMaker android galaxy s23 ultra
oh - I'm in a terrible mess - yesterday I spent two hours watching your videos, and downloaded the Halloween Countdown svg file. I then deleted it and am practising downloading it again today - but I can't do it! If i type it in your search bar on your website the video appears of how to do it - but I don't get the list of svg files, no matter what i try! HELP!
You got this! Go to the free library and log in. Then do crtl+F and type in the design #. The first link will be the download link and the second link will be to the tutorial. If you need more help check out my tutorial at jennifermaker.com/svgs 🥰
oh yes! Finally - I clicked "free resource library"!! So sorry! Thanks so much for replying. You are amazing - you must have so many emails! @@JenniferMaker
I have never been able to download from a facebook page. Is that not possible?
You can download from the library. You can click on a link from a Facebook page. jennifermaker.com/resource-library/
downloading is tough
Hi Jennifer- You almost lost me with all the sublimation you’ve been doing, which I’m not. I’m looking forward to the next few videos and new class your starting.
