- Using my cricut explore air I am sharing with you how to makes images that are bigger than your mat. Today I am doing a 32" Elmo. Hope you enjoy! I would love to see your creations.
You made it look so easy! I love the way you explain. I wish you had recorded the actual cutting process. Your Elmo looks great!
Thank you.
I wish u video the part u cute out on the screen
This is so good to know that I can cut large pieces with my Cricut machine! Thank you for making this video!
OMGosh - I didn't know I could make stuff this big! I'm so excited .... thank you soooooo much for sharing
gingergargoyle Hello..How can I cut him and cookie monster on my 12x12 mat...I have a cricut air2 n also have the cartidge
I love Elmo also, my soon to be 13 yr old still loves Elmo he is a reminder to me as he is to you👍🏻
Thanks. You made this look so easy. I have a project that I need to do this to.
My daughter was Elmo for her 2nd Halloween too!!! Ugh! Now she’s a big independent 3...soon-to-be 4 year old!!! 😩
Shes still darn cute as ever tho! And I still have her Elmo costume - there’s s little button clicker hidden inside chest pocket.... my little Elmo instantly turns to TICKLE ME ELMO!!!! ♥️
Thanks for tutorial!!!!! 💜
Awesome tutorial. Super cute project!!!!! Hope you have an amazing week! Hugs, Susan
thank you so much for this video. I teach and wanted to do a bear theme for my boars and was trying to figure out, but you truly helped.
I'm so glad I was of help. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the lesson!!! I hope I can do it as easy as you!! lol!!
Super cute
TY you made this very clear!!
Is the first layer cut as one piece with poster and then you covered it with cardstock.
thanks for video, was wondering how you could make something bigger than mat size..thumbs up!!
My imagine keeps turning black and white when I hit not print and cut. What am I doing wrong?
Hi..loved your tutorial..do you recommend just buying colored card stock when making big pieces or printing with ink and then cut. Thank you This was so helpful😊
I recommend buying the card stock and or poster board.
I am a little confused I lock the height at 32 then make him smaller to slice on both red and black when all slice is done do I go back to height change to 32 again after I put his eyes back in his head and then cut
thank you so much
Can u share the svg? My grandson is having an Elmo birthday on Friday would like to make him this
Can I do this using an image from Google or does it have to be from design space?
When I enter the 32 inches high. The with doesn't adjust. What's the with?
Love your work ! What size mat do you use ? And is that cardstock or cardboard paper ?
you say 32 inches. don't you have to set height and width? im new to this
how do you import the image in color? mine are always black LOVE your video
+Lacretia Cuevas Thank you so much. Your image will have to be an svg.
I don't have an Explore yet so am wondering if it doesn't use the 12x24 mat. If it does, wouldn't this be easier to cut out using that or is there a catch?
Nevermind, you answered my question in another video. Thanks for the great instructions!
How did u print him out
Did you use cardstock or poster board?
How do you put the paper on the mat to cut?
Not a helpful video for someone just learning how to. It was a lot of clicking and going to your personal settings that I am not aware of. Then I did not get to see where the machine cut the actual project. Sad face.
Thanks to her videos I'm a pro now!!! Yes is a lot of clicking but that's all you need to know when you make a project like hers! Now I make anything bigger then 35 inch projects. And they all love it!!!!!!!thanks
@@alejandropatino1524 how big can you make??.. I'm a newbie too.
Laurie Martin the biggest was 37in tall and it was Mama Imelda from Coco. I really love making it. I will remake it for my self "well my kids" ☺️ after you do 2-3 projects you will find short ways to do it. Right now im working on a 25in tall LOL Dolls.
Laurie Martin also if you want to make something bigger, make sure the colors are different and not all over the image! I personally don't like putting same color with different cuts and put them together. Because you will see the difference on the cuts, I always make sure the cut fits the whole color that goes on the svg project. Either on a 12x12 mat or 12x24 mat, for biggers cuts on same color I use 12x24 cardstock.
@@alejandropatino1524 thank you, I think I understand what you mean, I'm new to all this, will understand more when I "do" one. :)
What type of file image did you use?
You send to printer after youre done editing and cropping right
Everything is paper pieced together. NO PRINTING.
@@CraftingwithWine so how did u get it from design space to in your hands. Like whats the steps missing from your camera not recording. Ive done everything you stated in the video, but to get it "printed out" did you select send to printer or keep it on the option for your cricuit? Did you use poster board? Or cardstock?
Tamara Wyche I’m curious too.... the most important part was left out
Are you using DS? When I upload the image I want it all goes black! How do I fix that?
Candice Grier Yes, I'm using DS. When you bring the image into DS it will have to be a SVG file.
It would have been much more helpful to see how you actually put the puzzle together after watching many minutes on splicing that most people already know.
How do you load the picture on to the design space ?
that's what I wanted to know when I came to the video
What did you use for glue?
I use my ATG gun, scotch tape and tombow multi mono liquid glue.
can you not just cut the black image in black once it is all sliced and then cut it in the red that way all of the pieces will match. Or do you have to slice the black for the back and then the red for the top. Is there a size difference is that why you have to cut both layers separately?
I cut both layers because, first I need the black for the opening of Elmo's mouth and secondly, it makes the large die cut more stable. Hope this answers your questions. Cheers, Carolyn
The cut that is already sliced can you not use it for the black layer and the red layer, or must you cut and slice the black layer for the black and cut and slice the red layer for the red paper. Simply can you not cut and slice Elmo One time and then cut the black paper with that image and then the red paper with that same image? Hopefully that makes sense.
Tracey Garth That's an excellent question. I wonder if you could save time by ungrouping and keeping the biggest layers in place as you slice to cut down on some of the work. Hmmm....
I think the reason they need to be cut separately (from what I've seen in other videos and on the internet) is that the black layer is usually slightly bigger than the color layer to help create a black outline once everything is pieced together.
I have a question for you. Why do you have to high light the Elmo's shadow with the boxes to slice him. Is this something you have to do in order to get him that big. I'm asking because I'm new to this. I have a Cricut explore air. That my husband bought me almost 2weeks ago. So I'm still new. TFS
+diana torres You have to highlight the two together, to be able to slice. You can only slice a layer at a time. Congrats on you air. You will be a pro in no time!
Not letting me ungroup
hi what type of paper do you use for this project
For the black back layer I use poster board. The colored paper is all card stock. Cheers, Carolyn
hi where do I get the image of elmo. I'm so new to this
+Vina Mora Elmo is an image in Design Space. You can buy the entire cart. or the single image. Once you buy, its yours, forever.
Oh okay thank you
Could you do a trolls set tutorial ?(:
is it possible that I can cut Elmo bigger
+chala moe Yes! You can cut as big as you would like. The largest image I have done is 42". I saw someone do an image at 56".
+Crafting with Wine thanks
There has got to b a better way to do this, i have a different cutter so im going to play around with it to do this
Can you please help!! I am trying to do a project that is 11.8 inches tall (print and cut) but it is not working. Wouldn't it be the same concept?
Print and cut is different. The size is determined by your browser. Chrome will only print and cut up to 5.5" X 8.5".
I have safari. I tried slicing the image into 6×8 squares and it would not do it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong
