Thank you! You have to download the fonts you want from the internet on to your computer. My favorites are from A Perfect Blend and Amy Grosebeck on teacherspayteachers.com
Thanks! This was really helpful! Do you have a tutorial if I want each letter to be cut from a different color paper? I assume I would have to create 5 projects in a word with 5 letters? Looking for the best way to do this so I do not waste paper and am able to efficiently complete my project.
No need for multiple projects. Just one project :) All you do is click each letter that you want and change each letter to be whatever color and the cricut will sort the letters according to color! That way when you load your paper you would just load the different colored papers and the cricut will already have sorted each letter by color. In terms of wasting paper, you can cut the paper to fit the area that shows on your computer. Hopefully that makes sense.
Usually I use staples if the letters are big enough. If you use glue or tape it can rip your bulletin board paper. If you don't care then you could totally glue. Stapling is just the fastest.
I used card stock setting. Make sure your paper is stuck on your mat all the way and that the corners are flat. If not try switching to a different mat, they have different colors that are stronger or less sticky to prevent tearing
For the thin letters I used a small piece of poster putty on each corner of the letter! You can also use glue dots, but staples don’t work very well for the thin letters
Yes you can. The software is the same it’s just more challenging to use card stock or paper because you have to adjust the dimensions of the paper to fit inside the Cricut joy.
I don’t usually laminate because of the glare and my letters don’t usually get ruined! But you totally can laminate the card stock first, then put it in your circuit to cut the letters.
