In this video I will teach you how to create a negative image to cut from the vinyl on the Cricut Explore and place on any material! / christopheralandesigns
I just want to say thank you so much for the info. Just bought a Cricut again I had the Cricut joy but they had a sell on the bigger ones and I have a picture of my sister that passed away recently. And I wanted to do a picture I was lost trying to figure it out but thanks to you I got now thank you again. You have a new follower here.
I've watched several of your videos today. I can't thank you enough for posting such helpful tutorials. I just bought a Cricut Explore, and I was becoming frustrated. After watching your videos, it all makes sense now. I really like the way you troubleshoot as you are giving instruction, and I appreciate the pace of your instruction. You keep it moving, and keep me interested. Thanks, again!
Hi Christopher, I just stopped by to say Thank You, I've learned so much in a months time that I could not have accomplished on my own through trial and error. We appreciate you for taking the time to do these tutorials.
you prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the password. I would love any tips you can give me
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!! One of my very best friends just got married to his partner last week!! I cannot WAIT to make them a canvas print with this technique. Thank you for sharing such a cool project. :) :) Maybe I'll put a vinyl pic of their dogs on the gift bag! ;)
THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU !!!!! I have been searching desperately for info about cutting a custom stencil like this. You were specifically detailed in each step of this process. I am now subscribed to your channel and will be following all you do with the Cricut. Just Awesome work Christopher Alan Design !
Great video. Thank you! I bought my Cricut Explore three months ago, but have not used it yet because I'm a bit overwhelmed. I got it to create stencils for metal jewelry etching and really need to give it a try. Your video was so helpful I'm going to do that today. By the way, your dog looks almost identical to my little guy, Wiley.
Thank you, I made my first few projects with my machine last night. Just names to start out with. You have made this learning process so simple and fun for me (as I watched a few of your videos before I started). I can't wait to try this. Thank you!
Hi Christopher, I just saw your video and I loved it. The way you explain everything makes it simple to understand. Thank you so much and keep doing all those beautiful design. Take care.
You made this so much easier than any other videos I've watched!! THAN YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!! ... A bonus is you're not long-winded or wasting time getting to the tutorial!! After years of watching videos for tips, you're a breath of fresh air!!!!!! 🎉
Thank you so much for posting this video! I had been trying to do a negative image of my son's handprint but I couldn't figure it out. I'm so glad I came across this video. You are awesome, by the way. ;)
I very much enjoy your videos-thanks for sharing. I just rec'd a cricut explorer air for Christmas from my son and a little intimidated by it yet. I will be watching more videos before I really take the plunge.
Good morning Christopher. I ABSOLUTELY love this video! I have a brand new cricut still in the box I am so excited yet intimidated to get started. I can not wait to try this on a bag. Thank you sooooooo much. Great video and instructions. Your bags are Beautiful.
THANK YOU soooo much for this video! I was never able to figure out how to do this but after watching this I made a wonderful canvas of my dog, Dunkin, this morning! This is the main reason for me to get the Explore to begin with! Needless to say I just subscribed!
So I know this video was made some time ago but I just have to thank-you for the website stencilgram.. It has helped me clean up some of the more complicated images I have for my Cricut Explore.. I have also saved this so that way I can use this video when I attempt to use photographs like you have. It is such a sweeet idea and looks amazing.. KUDOS!!!
I love it! 😍 I'm a beginner who aims to do more. I considered the Silhouette Cameo 4, but decided on the Cricut. Watching a few of your videos has made me excited for this new adventure 😊
I commend you for your tutorial. WOW !!!! Pretty much sums up how I feel. I visited the website from your video and also followed your steps in my Cricut Design Space and WOW !!!!!
I am your newest subbie! Your videos are awesome and you are a GREAT teacher! Even though I am leaning toward getting a Cameo, I will always keep my Cricuts and a few of my favorite carts. Thank you so much for inspiring me, as I am in love with working with vinyl!!!
awesome - The Cricut Explore is brand new down here in New Zealand so I'm soaking up all your videos! I designed my file as you went along - so just need to cut it now! Yahooo -greetings & waves from Auckland, New Zealand :)
I am so impressed by this. I was actually looking on how to make a picture look like a negative to put on a glass block and or coffee cup. This is so helpful and you make it look really easy. You also taught me an easier way to weed vinyl. I am wondering if I put the picture (my niece had to put her dog to sleep who was her only child) into design space
I meant to ask I want to do a picture of the dog, do you think it is easier to put it into design space to put it on a glass block or use stencil program? Thank you Beci
Wow what a great idea. I am on the fence with purchasing a cricut explore since my CCR does not work with windows 8.1, but you make it look so easy. I am your newest subbie keep the videos coming and help change my mind. Traci
Fantastic Lesson from this one. I'm just starting to learn about the Cricut Explore and U make it VERY EZ to understand. Let your imagination go .... That is what the Cricut has allowed us to do ! ThAnKs BuNcHeS.....kactuskid2
In love! Of course I'm not as great at doing this as your wonderful projects but it came out just fine as my first project and I can not wait to do a lot more! Thank you so much and this was my first video watching from your channel and I am so happy to subscribe
hi Christopher, to begin just wanted to let you know that you look just like my boss😊 I have a question do you happen to have a video on creating a htv outline for fabric applique using the cricut
Hello everyone! The balance and creation of the stencil really relies on the browser you are using. Try a different browser, that always works for me :)
Hi Christopher nice to meet you :) I have just subscribed, really enjoying your videos very easy to follow and understand, thank you so much for sharing them and taking time out to show us :) awesome and very enjoyable....please keep up the good work looking forward to viewing more of your videos :) cute dog :) have a great day :) Magz :)
hi what a great job! wish I can have that machine,for now I just playing with my original cricut. till I can afford the last version. saving this video for later :)
Heyyy Christopher :) I've been binge watching your Cricut tutorials and they are SUPER helpful! However, I do have a request! I just recently bought a Cricut Explore Air (hasn't arrived yet) and I plan on mainly making T-shirts. I can't find a tutorial on how to layer Heat Transfer Vinyl and then actually getting them layered on the shirt? It's probably super easy, but I am at like entry level Cricut craftsmanship lol Thanks!
Hi Christopher, thanks for the video. Love this technique! I'm running into the problem where my cricut will only allow me to do the print and go option instead of just cutting. Any suggestions?
Wow! I am so inspired! You're creations are beautiful, and you're fun to watch! Your smile is contagious. :) I want a Crikut and think you have me sold. I'll be saving my money to purchase one ASAP! How do I subscribe to your channel? I'm just a tad behind on the times! Haha!
Love your videos.. I am having some problems with this and I was hoping you could help me. What kind of pictures do you recommend for this project? My problem is that the finished project is always totally different looking than the picture I started with. The people are unrecognizable when I'm finished. Lol.. Do you suggest pictures with lighter colored back grounds like white clouds and columns, dark back grounds, busy backgrounds etc... I am not ready to give up on this project I just think i need a little guidance from a pro.. 😄.. Thank you
