If you're a die-hard Cricut fan, you probably remember the YUDU machine. It was a great machine for screen-printing. Unfortunately, it was never very successful and was discontinued a few years ago. The Yudu inks were a very good quality. And if you can find them, they are now generally very inexpensive. I happen to have some of the inks and decided to do a little project with my niece and nephew. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiui7QxR2H7a2QA76OguGPZ1vvXnfQql9YBgLAJjhllRJflgJsKIaYrgPaGlXS9bmUOGIp_UvPBBmruAAatBWqM8tKNIohupHPxKSFHp9w6AEYIeOvRidcB5hdI0MB4F5Mkq06VnROJjIY/s1600/353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiui7QxR2H7a2QA76OguGPZ1vvXnfQql9YBgLAJjhllRJflgJsKIaYrgPaGlXS9bmUOGIp_UvPBBmruAAatBWqM8tKNIohupHPxKSFHp9w6AEYIeOvRidcB5hdI0MB4F5Mkq06VnROJjIY/s320/353.jpg" width="131" /></a></div>
They each chose a Cricut image and we sized them to fit some 6 x 8 inch muslin drawstring bags I had left over from another project. The bags came from Stateline Bag Company. We cut their chosen images in vinyl and removed the image. We placed the negative piece on the bag. We put some cardstock scraps pieces inside the bags to prevent any bleed through to the back of the bag.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggMLI2_wIgRgn44migueIR367zQTFXKw8xWsA0uhTwpItwGtINN2D4fPQBbb3xNjzB8Z7zS1wy7ZreHemhDEB2PFKNIiKM8LoaULY4CcH8a7c1JOIt2yNPkvV1IxqcVeW5vSENVdLfCjQ/s1600/364.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggMLI2_wIgRgn44migueIR367zQTFXKw8xWsA0uhTwpItwGtINN2D4fPQBbb3xNjzB8Z7zS1wy7ZreHemhDEB2PFKNIiKM8LoaULY4CcH8a7c1JOIt2yNPkvV1IxqcVeW5vSENVdLfCjQ/s320/364.jpg" width="183" /></a></div>
We squirted a blob of ink onto another scrap piece of cardstock and used a foam brush to paint over the stencil.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMfI-zDjCLTsGBMziHF4BfPqtqlmRKLJnXRvHJo80wGj7zwIZZ-3dqRef9Z6bkPDAETzFliEhCiezS4a1NYhsv1-Y6NxvO4_1stYc_Uhs09ztc8nivtL9amjrx4hn3Ly5-8h1m3to_dJc/s1600/366.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMfI-zDjCLTsGBMziHF4BfPqtqlmRKLJnXRvHJo80wGj7zwIZZ-3dqRef9Z6bkPDAETzFliEhCiezS4a1NYhsv1-Y6NxvO4_1stYc_Uhs09ztc8nivtL9amjrx4hn3Ly5-8h1m3to_dJc/s320/366.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Before painting, make sure your stencil is stuck very well to the bag. And while painting, make sure you do use too much pressure against the edges of the stencil. I showed them how to pounce the ink onto the bag and then we lightly brushed the excess. The ink on the stencil will generally not dry.<br />

Cricut sent me a November Mystery Box to help promote it. However, it sold out almost as soon as it was posted for sale on cricut.com! Savvy Mystery Box shoppers know, if the description sounds like something they want, to grab the box as soon as they can! And with a description like this: <br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #676767; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">A new Mystery Box is here and it is literally the biggest mystery box yet.

<br />
Who wouldn't want it? And look what those shoppers with the fast fingers will be receiving:<br />
A reconditioned E2 with a one year warranty and two Anna Griffin carts ~ Sophisticated Soirees and Splendid Soirees! I've made projects using images from both of these carts and absolutely love the Anna Griffin images!<br />

A new feature on the Cricut Shopping pages is to sign up by email to be notified when an item is back in stock. You can do that <a href="https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/november-mystery-box.html">HERE.</a> Since quantities were limited, there are no guarantees the box will become available again. But if you're signed up for the email notification, you'll be the first to know!<br />
<br />
And don't worry if you missed the Mystery Box, we'll be giving this one away in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/CricutLoversGuide/">Cricut Lovers Guide to Design Space</a> on Facebook.

It can be a little confusing as to which accessory goes with which machine. So I made a handy dandy little chart to help!<br />
<br />
***note: all the Cricut blades will fit in all the Cricut blade housing units. The newest Cricut blade, the Premium German Carbide blade is the most durable and longest lasting. But if you have extra blades from older Cricuts, they will fit in the Explore blade housing unit. {click photo to enlarge}<br />

With the new pattern fill, you will be able to scale the pattern to fit your project. Here is an example of the same image, with the same pattern just with the scale of the pattern adjusted. Once you have selected your pattern, you select edit at the bottom of the Layer Attributes panel and then you can adjust the scale of the pattern. Pretty neat!</div>

There are also some other features that members of our group have been asking for and that will be included in the update {the release date has not been announced}. One is that when you go to the design canvas, the grid lines are automatically "On". You can turn them "Off" by clicking the same little white square in the corner of the canvas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The other is being able to identify what cart or font was used in a project. You will be able to click on the "I" for the image number and cart name. Kudos to Cricut for listening to their users! </div>

Beta Preview Information * * * Changes may be made before release</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So many exciting upgrades are coming to Design Space! Although there is no release date set at this time, Cricut said I could share with you some of the changes you can expect. You'll see from this preview, Cricut has been listening to it's customers! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There will be some changes to the way the design canvas looks when you open Design Space. You'll notice the Layers Box has changed. It's more than "a pretty new face" but I'll get to that in a minute! The big change is in the Upload Images button. It looks the same but when you click it. . . magic!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You now have a different upload screen. There is one button for Image uploads and one for patterns! Yippee! The Image upload takes the guess work out of uploading images. You no longer have to choose between basic upload or vector upload. You choose Image and Design Space "knows" what type of file you are uploading by the file extension. And Pattern upload is for patterns! All those digital papers and such you been getting for free and never really got to use in Design Space.</div>

I've seen a similar design all over the internet and have been unable to find the original designer. Since several people have asked for the file, I decided to use the original as inspiration and design my own file in Design Space. I use the Eyes Wide Open Font and an arrow and flower images from the Cricut Image Library and a heart from the free Insert Shapes option. I was able to use the Hide Contour feature in both image sets to use on the single arrow and the flower I wanted. I use the Slice feature to cut the arrow in pieces and the Weld feature to the words to make them cut as one image.<br />

I've often seen members of my Cricut Lovers Guide to Design Space FB group asking for various designs they have seen. And I've wondered why they don't just jump into Design Space and make their own. I hope this will encourage and challenge people to try their hand at designing!<br />
<br />
<strike>Even though it's too late to use this file for this 4th of July, I'm sharing the file. If you would like the file, become a follower of my blog {if you aren't already following me} and post a comment with your email address. Remember, you will need to have the cutting rights to the Cricut images, either by owning the cart and having it linked to your account or purchasing the individual images. </strike>File share ended.<br />

Once again, I have to say I love my Cricut Explore! A friend sent me a photo of the cutest little box {and you know I have a thing for boxes} and asked me if I could make it. She called it a Self Closing Box and said someone told her it was from Stampin Up but she couldn't find it. So off to Google I went and I found that indeed there were some videos on how to make the box by cutting and scoring by hand. I watched one of the videos made by Linda Parker and then went to work in Design Space. The little box is adorable but what makes it so clever is the way it opens!</div>

You just grab it on each side and squeeze it! And it pops open and when you release it, it closes. All by itself!<br />

The box in the video was huge. You could easily fit gift cards and such in it. But I thought it would be cuter as a smaller treat box. No problem. Once the design was complete and all the score lines and cut lines attached to the base image, I could easily re-size it! This box is just over 2 inches wide.<br />
<br />
I used all free shapes in Design Space to make the box. The flower and leaves are from the Flower Shoppe cart. The rolled flower is so easy to make and I clipped the left image since there were five leaves and I only wanted a couple.<br />

I'm sure there will be more because I really love using the images from the Suburbia Cricut cart to decorate this Dollar Tree Cake Carriers! For this one, I only added the bow and the pearls to the image. A cute little saying and it was done!<br />

The young waitress at a restaurant my hubby and I go to often {and by often, I mean almost every week!} for lunch recently got married. We chat with her every time we are there but she's still more of a causal acquaintance. Even so, I wanted to give her something to commemorate her big day.<br />
<br />
A floating frame was the perfect gift! I've made lots of floating frames for weddings that we were invited to and lots of variations of the design based on the couple. Usually I use a big 10 x 17 frame. For this gift, I choose a smaller 8.5 x 11 frame. I used the letter "C" from the Regal font that Narelle had split {so easy to cut since she took the time to clean up all the little "bits"} and uploaded it to Design Space. I then added the names. I used the Milkshake font for both names and the wedding date and I used Times New Roman for the last name. {I did use a different font for the "&" as it looked like the "E" in the Milkshake font! }Then I selected all of the images/text and attached them. The Explore cut the vinyl like butter! Once I weeded away the excess pieces of vinyl, I used transfer tape to move the entire design to the glass. In less than one hour, I had the design completed, cut, weeded, applied, {photographed} and wrapped!<br />

I gave it to her when we went in for our usual Wednesday lunch and she was thrilled! She immediately went to show the others and then was taking pictures with her phone to send!<br />

Once again, I used an image from the Suburbia cart. I did alter it a bit to give the apron a belt and bow and I added the pearls and cupcakes. The cute saying is the Armonioso font. The hot pink and green vinyl are from the Cricut "Brights" Vinyl Sampler pack.<br />

The daughter of our long, long time friends got married a couple of months ago. I kept lots of "things" from the wedding and reception to make keepsakes for the bride {and her mom}. One of the things I kept was roses from the tables at the reception. Once they were dried, I knew I wanted to make a little framed keepsake, but couldn't quite find the materials I wanted to use. Rachel is a more down-to-earth girl and I wanted the keepsake to reflect the colors and textures she used for her wedding. Then, Cricut introduced Printable Fabric!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I purchased a cute little 4 x 4 inch square from at Michaels {only $3.99} and was able to quickly design my project in Design Space. I use a free square and heart and sized and positioned them on the canvas. I added the text using Lavanderia Sturdy font. And then, with the help of my techy son using Gimp, he got the hex color code from her bridesmaid's dress. I inserted the hex color code in the color picker for the square and choose a darker share for the text. Then, it was off to print on my home printer and loaded onto the mat to cut with my Explore. Not only was I able to get the fabric texture for my project, but I was able to get the exact color I wanted!<br />
<br />

<br />
The fabric cut beautifully! The edges were clean and crisp. It is a nice weight and has an adhesive backing which makes it each to get a smooth application to your projects. I did cut 2 from the one 8.5 x 11 sheet so her mom could have one too!<br />
<br />

<br />
Then I took a 4 x 4 piece of cardstock and covered part of it with my ATG. I randomly stuck the flower petals to the tape.<br />
<br />

<br />
And then covered the flowered cardstock square with the printed fabric square and placed them in the frame. The results were too cute. The reflection from the glass distorted the color but in person, it looks cute and you can see the texture of the fabric. I can't wait to give these to the bride and her mom!<br />

She often will bake just to try new recipes and take them into to her co-workers. She had been using left-over bakery containers. I found the somewhat elusive cake carriers at Dollar Tree and decided to get her one. But. . . it was so plain!<br />
<br />
Never fear. . .a little vinyl and my Cricut Explore took care of that! I logged into Design Space and began searching for images. I found the {almost} perfect image on the Suburbia cart. It was a two layer design but with the slice feature, I was able to make the note pad more prominent. My daughter is a big list maker and always has a grocery list and notes with her recipes!<br />

I also added the pearl necklace. . .just to make it a bit more retro! I found the saying on a kitchen towel set while surfing the net and it was perfect! I was able to use a circle the size of the top of the carrier and plan my design. The Explore cut the vinyl, including the small letters, without a problem. Then it was just a matter of weeding away the unwanted vinyl, using transfer tape and applying the design to the cake carrier.<br />

Cricut has releases a Variety Pack of black pens today! These packs have been popping up in various Michael's stores for the past weeks, but they have officially been launched on cricut.com today.<br />

And with the features of Design Space and the Explore, you can use multiple pens in one project. You can set some of the text to different colors and Design Space will prompt you to change the pen or you can pause your Explore as desired and change the pen. This example is from the Word Collage cart.<br />

Overall, I found the pens to write/draw nicely and having a selection of different pen tips allows more creativity when using the pen feature. And of course, black pens tend to be the color ink I use the most, so having a pack of all black pens makes this a must-have for me!scrapalettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10902880278902002010noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879373219389832201.post-775765621735986532015-06-01T10:07:00.001-04:002015-06-01T10:07:42.833-04:00New Design Space App for the iPhone!Cricut has done it again!

The iphone app will look and function very similar to the ipad app. But there is one very exciting new feature. . .the use of the camera! You can create your design like usual and then use the camera to show your design on your project!<br />

On Thursday, April16, Google Chrome started rolling out a new version update. This new version from Google has dropped your Design Space plugin. Here are a few quick and easy steps to check your version and restore the plugin.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.4559993743896px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
1. Open Google Chrome.<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br />2. In the upper right corner, click on the menu icon (it looks like three horizontal bars).<br />3. Choose “About Google Chrome” from the drop-down menu.<br />4. Check your version.<br />a. If it is version 42.0.2311.90, continue with step 5.<br />b. If your version is lower than 42.0.2311.90, wait for the update to complete then move on to step 5. (Make sure to “allow” if your computer gives you a prompt. You may also need to refresh your browser to see the update.)<br />5. Copy and paste chrome://flags/<a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/enable?source=feed_text" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;"><span aria-label="hashtag" class="_58cl" style="color: #6d84b4;">#</span><span class="_58cm">enable</span></a>-npapi into your address bar.<br />6. You will see “Enable NPAPI” highlighted. Click “enable”.<br />7. Now you are ready to go back to Design Space. You will be prompted to reload your plugin.</span></div>

Just a quick little vinyl project for my nephew for Easter! He loves having his name on anything and everything so it was fun to add this little bunny and his name. The image was made from shapes in the Cricut Image Library and it's cut from vinyl with my Cricut Explore.<br />
<br />
He was thrilled when he got it. . .I'm not sure if it was because his name was on it or if it was the big bag of jelly beans in it!scrapalettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10902880278902002010noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879373219389832201.post-86526018903742831492015-02-28T21:55:00.000-05:002015-06-09T21:57:21.008-04:00Special Hangers for a Special Bride on her Special Day!The daughter of our long time friends is getting married!

So happy to be able to use my Cricut and create special touches for our special friends!scrapalettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10902880278902002010noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879373219389832201.post-34429078804018899332015-02-11T18:29:00.000-05:002015-02-11T18:29:31.132-05:00Cricut Design Space Update!Cricut has been listening to it's customers and has been working on Design Space to improve the performance issues and enhance the search function. Here are some screenshots to show you what is different. {remember, you can click on the photo to make it larger}<br />
<br />
<br />
The Landing Page has slightly larger photos and when you choose a Make It Now project, it will go to the Cut Preview screen, bypassing loading the project onto the canvas first. If you want to customize the project, you can still click the Customize button and the project will load onto the canvas for you to make changes to the design.<br />
<br />

Once on the canvas, the layout is a little different. Most noticeably is the Options Panel on the right. You can collapse this panel by clicking the arrow along the scroll bar.<br />

The Cricut Design Team has a totally adorable print then cut project in the Make It Now section of Design Space! It's called Yourself the Elf and you can make "anyone" an elf by uploading their photo, sizing the head to fit the elf suit then printing from Design Space and letting the Explore do the cutting. One slight problem, the file does not contain the holes needed to assemble the Elf using brads. Not a big deal if you are making only one or two, but if you want to make your entire family into dancing elves or maybe your child's entire class, you don't want to hand punch all those holes. I added them to the file so your Explore can cut them for you!<br />
<br />
If you want my file with the holes added, just be a follower of my blog and leave a comment on this post with your email address and I'll send you the file. Remember, even though you can open the file, you will still need to purchase the MIN project {if it's not still included in the subscription or if you don't have the subscription but it's only 99 cents} to be able to cut it!<br />
<br />
Cricut has now updated the project and added the holes to the files!
