Such a useful video!!! Thank you!

@allisoncox7310 2 года назад

Thank you so much! I was overwhelmed at the amount of fonts on Creative Fabrica, but this video has helped me to get started!

@CarlyKeller 2 года назад

Glad I could help! The video I just posted goes over finding fonts/saving favorites on CF :)

@rd-gi6jw 4 года назад

I find that the best setting for cardstock cutting up to 300gsm (110lb) is adhesive backed cardstock and the pressure on more. With this setting I cut couple of thousands of not so simple favor boxes, for instance, before the blade gets dull.

@CarlyKeller 4 года назад

I do sometimes need to turn the pressure up. So many options! Will need to look into adhesive cardstock..I'm not sure I've used it before 🤔

To speed up the DS/Cricut part of your work place the score line first and than copy frames. If you print and cut more frames at once, place a joint score line over the frames standing next to each other. That way stylus doesn't have to stop and than continue again every time. It makes a difference when you do a lot of the same items. Also, speed up the cutting for simple shapes.

@CarlyKeller 4 года назад

Great tip!! I'll have to try that next time. More and more of my clients are wanting place cards so I imagine will be making lots more in the future!

@katierodriguez1066 3 года назад

Thanks for this great video! I’m trying to do the same concept but strictly with scoring, not cutting (as I want a deckled edge). For some reason it’s not letting me flatten with this. Therefor it continues to cut my font even though it’s printed. Curious if you may know a workaround?

@CarlyKeller 3 года назад

You're so welcome! What about welding the letters together before flattening? Sometimes I have to undo and play around with the design..almost like design space missed something that I had highlighted

@jennyrmurphy 3 года назад

Hi Carly! Thank you for this video! You mentioned another video that explains how to use the weld feature for fonts around 3:30. I was wondering if you could direct me to those videos. Thank you again!

@CarlyKeller 3 года назад

Hi Jenny! Thank you! Check this video out around the 5:00 mark :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Glfs3OY34AI.html

@apricotpoodles08 2 года назад

Can you do print then cut at a place like Office Depot? Or only to a home printer from design space?

@ETShanley 4 года назад

Hi Carly! Love this tutorial.. was wondering if you could say which paint and paint brush you used ? Thanks!

@CarlyKeller 4 года назад

Hi Erin! This is just a small chip brush and decor art vintage brass metallic paint :)

@MsCOCONUT24 4 года назад

❤️ this video! Oh I was wondering what does flatten mean?

@CarlyKeller 4 года назад

TY!! Flatten is basically flattening everything into a single, printable image ❤️

@followthesheppards 2 года назад

What weight of card stock did you use?

@DancingFungus 3 года назад

Thanks so much for making this video!! How does the Cricut know you only want to cut out the box and not the mr/mrs names instead?

@CarlyKeller 3 года назад

You are so welcome!! Cricut knows to print + cut once the flatten option is selected :)

@ShelbyAllen-qz9jq Год назад

How did you add the font to cricut design space?

@michelebailey5406 3 года назад

I was wondering if you remember where you got your farmhouse font from? I looked in fontcloud but did not find the font you used.

@CarlyKeller 3 года назад

Hi Michele! Its linked in the video description :) Once you download the font to your computer, you can upload to Fontcloud to preview there!

@jackiemartin6451 4 года назад

How does the page fit 4 full size cards? When I use Print and Cut, I can only use a space 9.25 x 6.25. What are you doing differently?

@CarlyKeller 4 года назад

Hi Jackie! These are each 3x4 so they fit within the perimeters :)

@kelseywilliams6587 2 года назад

Hi, love your channel. I followed your instructions. I copied from font cloud and I paste it in cricut design space but when I search for the font in cricut design place it could not find the font. I was using Handita. How would I fix this?

@CarlyKeller 2 года назад

Hi Kelsey! Thank you so much 😊 after you download the font file open that and install on your computer. Start Cricut Design Space (restart if it was open) and it should be there!

@crystalteamer5641 Год назад

Hi Carly. I am having issues with the correct font downloading to my computer. It only is downloading as 'regular farmhouse'. So essentially when I change the font in design space, I still get the boxes :( Any help would be a huge help.

@dallastackett4289 3 года назад

do i have to us the Scoring Stylus if im doing the score line? i dont want to buy one just for this

@CarlyKeller 3 года назад

I'm sure there are ways to DIY the score line without the Cricut! I haven't tried myself

@phoebetrego5076 3 года назад

Thanks for the video! I did a couple runs the same way you did and when the cricut was cutting, it would cut inward (towards the name washes). It only did this for 4 names specifically. All other names were able to cut the card correctly. I redid everything and same thing happened. Has this ever happened to you? Please help!

@CarlyKeller 3 года назад

You're welcome! I'm sorry thats happening! Sometimes my Cricut will glitch and miss a step but if I go back, re-weld and flatten the text before flattening to the paper it will sometimes correct itself.

@CarlyKeller 3 года назад

If your still having trouble, try one of these similar fonts: www.creativefabrica.com/product/handita/ref/237213/ www.creativefabrica.com/product/leslie-dawn/ref/237213/

@phoebetrego5076 3 года назад

Thanks carly! I will try it again and see if it happens. If it does then I'll try another font. I was using a creative fabrica font to begin with but I'll try another one.

@CarlyKeller 3 года назад

Let me know how it turns out!

@tolebearlucy6936 3 года назад

I treated myself to a subscription to Creative Fabrica after watching your videos! My problem is that I have an iPad Pro and can’t figure out how to use the special glyphs and other icons. Can you point me in the right direction? Thank you 🥰

@CarlyKeller 3 года назад

Hi! My iPad Pro is coming tomorrow so will give it a try myself! 🤩

@tolebearlucy6936 3 года назад

Ahhhh so excited for it! Happy you got one ❤️

@CarlyKeller 3 года назад

Hi Lucy! I haven't gotten around to adding fonts to my iPad yet but maybe this will help in the meantime :) www.creativefabrica.com/the-ultimate-font-guide/how-to-install-a-font-on-iphone-or-ipad/

@angelie83 2 года назад

Is it possible to show this same DIY but using the markers on the Cricut?

@CarlyKeller 2 года назад

You'd need to use a writing font in Cricut Design Space and most of those are very thin, not filled in like this print and cut text!

@libbyseawright5996 Год назад

Okay, I'm doing this exact project for my son's wedding, and I started practicing today. I have 65 pound cardstock, and I'm using a laser printer to print the cards. My names don't look as dark and pretty as yours. But I'm having this weird problem where cricut doesn't like some of the names and just slashes through them diagonally and gouging the card next to them, even. I've calibrated my machine, and done them over, and even if that person is on a different place on the mat the next time it will do it, so it's not a positional thing with cricut. It can be in the top row or the bottom row. It always does one person. One time it even cut around the "d" in "damon" and also slashed his name. Did you have any names with farmhouse that were confusing to the cricut? I don't even know what to do now.

@CarlyKeller Год назад

Hi Libby! The last version of Cricut (before the most recent update) would automatically fill in with grey text. So I would have to change all newly added text to black or the color I wanted! Maybe thats happening with yours? I'm not sure whats happening with the font..I use farmhouse for all types of projects! If you are still having trouble with it there are several similar ones that might work better with your software. Check out my "Fonts for Wedding Signs" part 1-3. So sorry your having a frustrating time!

@marianahernandez5072 Год назад

How do you upload font into font cloud?? I already bought the subscription for creativa fabrica. where did you get the tails characters??

@CarlyKeller Год назад

Hi Mariana, this video shows how! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Glfs3OY34AI.html

@veevz13 2 года назад

What if I need to do black cards with white letters? I get confused in the print part....I have black card stock but how do I do it....so it won't print out black ink in the black card stock!??

@CarlyKeller 2 года назад

This works best with light colored paper and dark lettering! You could try a white pen and use the writing feature or use white paper and print the black on it

@acbickes6250 2 года назад

i have done everything you did in your video and my cricut design space keeps telling me to unload my material after it is done scanning. It doesnt score or cut the project! do you know why this is?

@CarlyKeller 2 года назад

Do you have the correct scoring stylus in and adjusted the settings for that particular one? Since it auto applies the scoring wheel, if it detects the stylus instead will want you to switch the settings and reload. It happens to me 95% of the time!

@libbyseawright5996 Год назад

Is it possible to add the tails to the letters if you don't have the font cloud and you just purchased the fonts?

@CarlyKeller Год назад

I think you would need to use some type of font management tool to access them. You can use any fonts in the font cloud though & its free to use!

@libbyseawright5996 Год назад

@@CarlyKeller I figured it out in Windows, but I also got the new years deal at Creative Fabrica and am loving using their font cloud now!
