[@nicholekennedy362]

You are so kind to me so informative in exposing to each of us exactly how you did this . I’ve never been able to understand how this works . But you explained this with such grace and kindness . Thank you again for extending such kindness to us.

[@ProcrasCreationDIY]

No problem. Thank you for watching

Love it girl I’ve been trying to figure the whole
Picture thing out since I started mine and hopefully after watching your video I can do it now wish me luck lol

[@ProcrasCreationDIY]

You got this!!!

[@teresapaliwoda]

So the cricut doesn't print the photo. You get it ready in design space and then you send it to your printer. thank you so much! didn't understand that before but you explained it beautifully!

[@ProcrasCreationDIY]

Correct. Thanks for watching. 🥰

[@yasmeendazzleme8009]

What printer do you use hun

[@sparkinginterestinrealestate]

What paper are you using when you send the picture to the printer to print?

[@Cardenas50zz58]

So to print, you put the transfer paper ( like ppd)in your printer?
Also, is there any special ink that needs to be used for when printing?

[@naphateriaevans5011]

Omg thank you so much ❤️😭. I had a hard time learning how to use my cricut and you helped me so much

This may be a really silly question but is the paper image just regular paper that you iron on, Or is it some sort of vinyl? I got my Cricut a week ago and it just seems so complicated 😂

How did you weed it from a regular printer? Thanks! 😁

It’s the vinyl you use in the printer. You need heat transfer vinyl to print it on. You then let the Cricut cut what was printed. After everything has been printed and cut, you weed it as necessary.

Hey, I hope you are well! May I pick your brain...? I used the Avery brand heat transfer paper (for light colored fabrics). I printed out the pictures I wanted and then ironed them on the shirts, but some were ruined before wash and after wash. I used my Cricut heat press to iron the pictures onto the shirts. Did I not apply enough heat or too much heat, for them to peel before wearing/washing and after wearing/washing the shirts? I followed the heating instructions that were included, but perhaps I had the heat too low or didn’t leave the heat on long enough? Which brand of transfer paper do you use?

So the ink jet printer prints on the HtV? I’m so confused..

[@ProcrasCreationDIY]

Yes. It is just like putting any specialty paper in your printer to print. Once it prints you will add it to a mat and the cricut would cut it.

[@terablack8087]

Let me get this straight- you use HTV paper for the inkjet for your picture but what are you using for you words- vinyl for the Cricut or HTV paper for the inkjet
