Absolutely I plan to do more in-depth tutorials on SVGs since with this one we just used a premade text element and designs I want to do one where we make our own text and show you how that works :)
This is legit one of the best tutorials on this topic I’ve seen. Subscribed! Thank you for showing how it would look at each wrong step, too. Excellent tutorial! 🙌🏽👏🏽
Brilliant! I wasn’t even looking for this info yet as I’m starting to design SVGs to sell, but I’m glad I stumbled upon it cuz I’ll definitely need this!! You made Inkscape seem not so intimidating!
A reminder that teachers can get Canvra for Educators for free! I've been told it's got the same elements as Pro. The downside is you can't sell anything made with it. I've been learning it this summer and fluctuate between "This is awesome" and "Why the heck won't it let me...." 😆
I love this but I'm doing something wrong😮. I import design (same one) my layers panel shows image1, text 1, 2, 3. No other layers or info to ungroup. I ungrouped from edit but doesn't ungroup. Pls HELP!!! ❤
Hey, Corinne! Do you pay for cricut access? I'm asking because I was wondering if it's necessary to pay for cricut access along with my canva pro or if I can make my on designs in canva and use the cricut to cut ou draw them...
Super helpful, that last step was def what I needed. Is it also possible to name each layer something different vs. the title of the file? When I name them in Inkscape it doesn’t transfer over to design space. Thanks!
If you have the pro account you can use some of the images and sell with them. I would recommend reading their terms of service because it is a little confusing to explain it
Have you sublimated on Faux leather patches for hats? I am trying to figure out the best temperature and time. I cannot find videos for the Faux leather patches. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Love your videos
The video is great. I am having problems though. Everytime I go back and ungroup the letters, when I highlight them and click on union, it takes away everything except the first letter. I tried starting completely from scratch and it keeps doing it. I don't know enough about Inkscape to even search for the issue.
It’s less likely an inkscape issue and more an image issue from canva. I would try a different image and see if it still does the same thing. But also be sure every single thing is ungrouped in your design on inkscape
After a lot of research and experimenting, it had to do with clipped objects. (There were little scissors next to some of the letters after I grouped them.) I have NO idea how it happened but I managed to fix it. I look forward to trying more. Thank you for the video and taking the time to reach out.@@CorinneBlackstone
Are the steps you mention for Mac users? The first place I get lost is downloading to an SVG (I do have Canva PRO). The image loads as a Word document - a total mess. I do not have a Mac, I have a Windows PC.
I followed the tutorial and it worked great except for the stroke I used to outline the letters. When I upload it into Cricut design space it looks fine, but when I put it on the canvas it's a blob. I turned off the layer with the stroke outline, and it came out fine. Is there a way to upload word designs svgs with stroke outlines in Cricut and have it work? Thanks for all of your help.
I’m working on that tutorial cause I have not been able to get the outline to work at all. It will load but it either isn’t the right size or it comes out as a blob
A really great video as always however, please do not misunderstand me. Why would I pay for canvas pro when I still have to use ink scape because canvas doesn’t talk to cricket it doesn’t make sense to me.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Canva pro offers you a lot of great options and you pay for pro so you can download the SVG not the png. Plus you get tons of fonts and images to work with
Hi corrine. You just touched on a topic I've been stressing over. So I use free canva to make my creations but can't figure out to edit them, l Ike remove parts I don't want. Can I do this as a png (not svg) in Inkscape?? Help
@@vthom5379 you would need to do something called trace bitmap. This video shows that process ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YBnjaH0zw8M.htmlsi=s_M17RFOOEtxQ1L0
I downloaded version 0.92 but anytime I open the objects panel the part with the objects is a tiny square at the top completely taken over by the blend mode controls with the green arrows. If someone could tell me how to move the blend mode controls down so I can see what I'm doing that would be great.
How do you get the layout in Inkscape that you have? I'm trying to follow along but when I go to object the first thing that pops up is layers and objects and there is no option for selecting just objects. Thanks.
Mine says 1.3. I tried to follow the tutorial even though I could find an option for just objects and it didn't have the plus signs. It seemed to be working but the groups fell apart and somehow I ended up with all of the nodes showing.@@CorinneBlackstone
If you design in design space then you cannot use it in any outside programs as an SVG. You would have to do several steps to turn it into one and it may not come out as clean as you hope that way. So while sure designing it may be quicker and easier it’s not ideal if you ever want to use that design somewhere else
If the letters are disappearing it might be because you didn’t ungroup. But honestly sometimes inkscape is just nuts and does weird stuff. Close and reopen the program. I tried to duplicate the problem just now and I can’t get mine to disappear
