If you’re a fan of using the Cricut cutting machine for your DIY projects, you may be wondering if you can use the popular online design tool Canva to create designs to cut out with your Cricut. The short answer is yes!
You can use Canva to create designs for your Cricut projects. Here’s a look at how to do it.
First, sign up for a free account at Canva.com. Once you’re logged in, click on the “Create a design” button and choose the “Blank” option. This will give you a blank canvas to work with.
Next, click on the “Uploads” tab in the left-hand sidebar and select the “Upload your own images” option. Here you can upload any images or graphics that you want to use in your design. Once your image is uploaded, you can drag and drop it onto your canvas.
Now that you have your image in place, it’s time to add some text. Click on the “Text” tab in the left-hand sidebar and choose from one of the many font options available.
Type out your text and then use the various formatting options to style it as desired. You can also change the color of your text by clicking on the “Color” tab in the left-hand sidebar.
When you’re happy with your design, click on the “Download” button in the top-right corner of the screen and select the “PNG” option. This will download your design as a PNG file, which is what you need for importing into Cricut Design Space.
Open Cricut Design Space and click on the “+” icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Select “Upload Images” from the drop-down menu and click on the “Browse” button. Find your PNG file on your computer and click on the “Open” button.
Once your PNG file has been uploaded, you’ll see it as a new layer on your canvas. Select this layer and click on the “Contour” button in the top toolbar. This will open up a new window with all of the individual elements of your design that you can now select for cutting.
