Installing fonts for Cricut Design Space on Windows 10
มุมมอง 19K4 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a quick video on how to install fonts for use with Cricut Design Space on Windows 10 using Internet Explorer. Any browser will be the same steps in general. In this process, I'm starting from a zip file, unzipping the enclosed font file and then installing it in Windows for use with Cricut Design Space.
Upload files to design space in iOS 13
มุมมอง 2064 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a quick video on uploading files to Design Space using iOS 13. These files are specifically from the Makers Gonna Learn site, which does require a membership. Since iOS 13 can unzip files natively, no other apps are needed. Downloaded files go to the Downloads folder in the Files app, from there you unzip then upload directly to Design Space.

Just a quick unpolished video going over some weeding issues and exploring the idea of “reverse” weeding and using a knock off of the bright pad I found on Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B0755C2CBF/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_js27CbPQHZVQ5
Cricut Writing on Existing Objects

In this video, I explain a technique I use to use Cricut to draw on existing items. Either cards/envelopes you cut out previously, or blank stock you buy from a store.
Create Card and Envelope with free Cricut Design Space options
มุมมอง 27K5 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a super quick video on using the included options in Design Space to make a simple blank card. I'll come back and show an option for adding writing to this card using Cricut pens, which can be applied to cards you make with Cricut or anything you buy in the store as well as an after the fact addition.
Vector Stencils for Design Space
มุมมอง 3015 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I go through a process I use to scan an object (in this case a stencil) and turn it into a vector file (SVG) to use with Cricut Design Space. I use Adobe Illustrator CC, but the process should be similar in any vector drawing program. I'm by no means an expert Illustrator user or an artist, I've just learned a few things along the way that I'm sharing. This video is a little on th...

thank you!!! Im new to the cricut world and got so excited to change the font, but couldn't add it! your video helped me a bunch!!! thank you!!
I just got a light pad and tried to see the weeding lines for a small heart design and I couldn't see the lines at all with the light - idk what I'm doing wrong..
Great vid! Thanks!
Mine is not installing did everything type it in cricut design saying no file found. Very new to this
Give me some details and I'll try to help. What kind of computer? What are you seeing on the screen when you install?
@@musickmann using a asus laptop windows 11 I believe
@@nakialitt1031okay, then the same steps should apply. In Design Space, you just select the font, if you're getting a "No File Found" error that indicates you are trying to use Upload or something to add a file directly to Design Space, that isn't how fonts work. You will need to find the downloaded font file, if it is a zip file (very common) then you need to use the right click on it to open a little menu and select the Extract here option. You should then either see a new folder, or the files directly and you can right click on those and select the Install option. Then, you need to make sure you close Design Space completely and reopen it, and when writing text, you should be able to select the font from the text options.

Thank you!
Really helpful. I was getting mad to reposition my text for the precut card. It was very smart to use the dote as an anchor. Thanks a lot!
How can I do to download cricut a windows 10 for free or do I have to pay to download it
There are many sites that offer free fonts. fonts.com and dafont.com are two examples. Just be sure to read the license on each font, as some are allowed for personal use only.
for some reason when I followed all the steps my font came in individual letters! Upper, Lower and all.. to download individually. How do I change that to install as a whole to design space? Also The file name had internet explore and I use Chrome would that be the problem.. IDk 🤷🏽♂
Thank you so much for this easy to follow steps for font download!
Awesome!!
Couldn't you put your dot at 0.25 and 0.25 and have it auto align your design since it defaults to that point?
It's been a while since I've done this, but The default starting point in my experience isn't very exact, and it's easier to identify the 1x1 or other locations.
@@musickmann Thanks for the reply, do you still follow the same process or have you improved the leather engraving/carving since then?
Right now I have my Cricut on pause for the monthly payment. Do you have to have that active in order to install new fonts?
I have watched this several times and it's still not working. I feel like something is blocking it. I did recently have a new hard drive installed. Prior to that , it worked fine!
I want to use the METRO font in Microsoft Edge in my cricut design space. how do I get it to cricut?
As Edge is a web browser, and web browsers don't generally have their own fonts, I'm not specifically sure what you are referring to here or where you are seeing this font. Cricut generally has access to any system font in Windows already, so if you are seeing a font in use somewhere, you may already have it in Cricut, otherwise you will need to find the actual font file to install them. There are many fonts with that name available, so not sure which you are looking for, but for example you can download fonts here: www.dafont.com/metro-2.font
You are AMAZING dude!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! <3
alternatively to using the little dot you could center your design on the virtual mat to the 6" by 6" mat. it's easy to find it on the canvas with the + marking the center.
Great video!
what is best paper for making envelopes
Thank you for this tutorial!! Which font type should I install - Open Type or True Type? Is there a faster way to install multiple fonts as opposed to one at a time?
There really isn't a big difference in the font types, but Open Type is generally newer I think. As for multiple fonts, if you're on Mac, you can drag several font files into the font book at once.
Thank You!!!
You're welcome!
If you can't figure it out. Just watch this video. Straight to the point no random banter. Thank you!
Thank you so Much 👍👍
You are welcome
Wow. I started with a custom stencil on mylar that I drew up and found that the tiny details I needed for it, I could not carve out (I tried a Dremel, a wood burner, and a stencil burner). I am an art student so I knew I had to go build vector graphics, but really had not used illustrator or any of the other freeware out there. Your tutorial is really well done. The confusion for me was whether I had to create hundreds of individual graphic files (shapes) versus having my original artwork chopped up into pieces that could be manipulated. You just saved me many hours of wasted time. Thank you.
So here is a question. I need my stencil to be VERY detailed with very small shapes (I am using it to airbrush). The stencils you demo''d were quite large. What settings would you change in illustrator to be able to get much more intricate details into my stencil? A good example would be a stencil for fish scales in a 12 x9 workspace on the cricket. Inpout greatly appreciated. Illustrator (like photoshop) tends to be relatively persnickety and hard to figure out.
I am by no means an expert in illustrator, I just kinda pick things up as I need to. Since I was coming from a scanned object, the process is more tricky for sure. If you are drawing from scratch in illustrator, I think you'll be much better off. I think it also relies heavily on the quality of the starting image if you are scanning something in, and the resolution will need to be much higher if you're talking very small details.
So helpful!
Happy to help!
Thank you, great short to the point. I was having so many problems but solved thanks to you!
Glad it helped!
Thanks again this was helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Did you have any questions still?
@@musickmann 🙏🏽☺️☺️I’m wanting to do 6 “thank you” cards at a time front and back. But it’s kinda tricky with the writing placement on the back of the card cause it’s more than one. Hope that makes sense
@@nitaboo74 It does. I've done more than one several times, you just have to take extra time to get the placement down. However, I would caution against drawing on one side and then flipping it over, as I have had the stickiness of the mat mess up the writing. I also think at some level it's better to do print and cut instead
@@musickmann thanks so much I was thinking that.
Hey Troy great video! BUt it seems like it go cut off? i was waiting for the part where you wrote out the address.
Ok i went to your channel and seen the other video. Thnks for this info.
Hi Anita, did you find the other video I did that in? I may need to do some updates since there have been many updates to Cricut since this video :)
I have been trying to get my font in Cricut all day and finally after your video!! You made it so easy. A million thank yous!
Glad I could help!
Thank you sooo much for this tutorial, I finally figure it out after you showing me. I had to go change my settings to single layer and there it were YAY!!! It didn't take long to figure that out because you should most of it. Thanks again!
You're welcome!
👍 Mom
Your mother thanks you 😘
Thank you so much. I've been trying for 45 minutes to figure this out lol
Glad I could help!
KEEP AT IT!!!
Awesome video! I’m just learning this whole cricut thing so hope you’ll bear with my question. How does the machine know not to cut the reference point you created? If I remember correctly you attached it to the design? Thanks!
Hi, sorry for the delay in responding! So, with reference marks you can either make them small enough to where the cut won't matter, or use a draw mark to not be an actual cut.
Draw mark yes that makes perfect sense. Thanks! 👍
By the way f you select the filigree design and click "attach" before you try to engrave it , the design will stay exactly where you put it
Thank You !
You're welcome!
Really helpful thank you
Glad it helped
HELLO, THE FILTER WORD IS NOT ON THE TOP OF THE PAGE USING DESIGN SPACE. I HAVE A CRICUT EXPLORE AIR 2 HOW DO I GET IT TO MAKE THE CARDS WITH THE ENVELOPE?
So sorry I missed your comment. I know design space changes often. The filters are now on the left side of the screen. I've intended to go through the videos and update them to the newest design space. Let me know if you are still struggling with this and I'll do that video first :)
Thank you so much this is exactly what I was looking for!
Glad I could help!
Great video! Thank you!😃
Thank you too!
Thank you !!
You're welcome!
love the video can you tell me the thickness of the leather please?
Sorry for the delay in responding, I missed these notifications! This leather is about 2mm thick.
Thank you. Great idea with the anchor point.worked like a charm.
Glad to hear it helped!
Thank you for posting this video, I wanted to see just how these worked for weeding.
No problem 👍
I believe you used the FINE POINT TIP not the engraving tip (there is an engraving tip). Great information. Thank you for sharing.
This was a non-cricut accessory. Cricut came out with their own engraving tip after I made this video.
I followed along with this video to engrave on leather. I did everything he did, but when it came time to press go, it won't except that I have the engraving tool and not the fine point blade. How do I make that work?
Just put the engraver into when the blade would go.
