This was a really helpful video. I wanted a simple set of steps to show me how I could have Cricut draw something and cut out a shape around it. I appreciate how quickly and simply you were able to convey the information I was looking for. Many thanks!
I know this video is a year old- BUT- I’m fairly new to the CriCut world and I’ve only done vinyl. I wanted to learn how to do cardstock stuff and first I wanted to make gift tags. THANK YOU for having a simple video that just blew my mind of how easy it is to make them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have had my Cricut for almost 9 months and I was clueless on how to do anything since the Design Space doesn't come with much direction. Just watching a few have your videos have made me so much more confident with using my Cricut. I can't wait to try to make tags like the ones shown in this video - before this I was clueless. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Thank You, this was great, I have been looking on the internet for two hours asking lots of questions about writing on a tag. I don't really know how I found you, but I am very glad I did. I am getting a little upset at these people who do the lessons. I am a beginner and do Not speak the cricut language. I need instruction on how to use the machine in the simplest way and very few present these lessons to a true beginner. I wish the people who are giving these lessons would remember that. I think they should all watch yours and learn from it. Thank You
I'm so glad I found this video! I was trying to figure it out myself and was in a moment of frustration because I wasn't doing something right lol! (I didn't hit 'attach') Your video allowed me to put the finishing touch on these gifts! Thanks for the clear and easy tutorial! New subscriber!
Thank you! I love you are easy to understand and direct to the point, so many videos seem like they go on and on and i dont seem to keep up, Thanks again you really helped!!
I'm not new to computers and editing software, but I am still having trouble getting used to design space and my new machine! Thank you so very much for your easy to follow How-To!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I saw another post that someone has had their cricut for almost 9 months. Well, ME TOO! I was about to give up ... I am going to attempt to do this project, wish me luck!!!
Thank you for this tutorial. It is the easiest and clearest explanation I've found to use with my maker! Attaching is the step I wad missing. Go figure
I was so frustrated trying to do this...Thank you for your video wish that design space had not changed things around so much...Your video was just what I needed
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just used it to make my daughter's valentines for her class! I had been struggling to figure this out until I found your video
I'm so glad I found you, I hAve had my cricut explorer air 2 and for almost a whole year I didn't use it because I didn't know how and even if I called on how to I still couldn't get it going. I've been doing little things and so the Freebie for Friday's I love. I do before it's expiration date and that's how I've been learning how to use the machine. Last week's I couldn't do print image then transfer to circuit my printers not working and I just got lost in doing that. So am happy to subscribe need all your info on how to. Lol. Thanks a bunch.
The video is great and the nearest to what I would like to create. I would like to make 24 numbered Advent tags. How do I align them evenly. Once I've done that do I save the 24 cut out images to the library (for future use) and then 'write' the different numbers on them. I would love to see a video with all this being done. It all sounds so simple when I watch but doing it is another matter! I'm also in the UK so the card stock weights are a bit confusing as we use grams. Thanks
Great video! Very clear instructions for us newbies. Can you explain where to get a font or what to do to have the cricut fill in the letters not just the outline??? I would appreciate it !!!!!
Thank you so much for this video it was exactly what I needed to help me with my very first project ever on my brand new cricut! I'll definitely be back for more! 😀
I've been on the fence about this machine. I don't use a computer only my Android tablet. I've seen many tutorials on this machine but I am really enjoying yours. I appreciate the simple instructions without all of the animated excitement over the cricut. I have purchased many cricut products way back in the day and truly enjoyed them but found aspects of them quite frustrating simply because there were no detailed instructions. Now they've thrown in a computer to the mix! On one hand great! On the other, maybe not so great if you have not been operating one. Sure, I have used computers but really for the last several years I have only used my tablet and smart phone. This is my fear....I hear you can use your tablet but it doesn't always work so well with Android. Do you have an opinion or knowledge about this, and about the best operating system needed to run the cricut?📋If you could help I would greatly appreciate it!💞 TFS!!! Great job!👍👍👍
This video is so helpful, as i just got my machine yesterday. I do have a question, i found a free sag file for care instructions and it already has the instruction on it. How do i go into the design space and edit what i want it to say? Is that even ok to do?
Hey thanks very much for sharing, this video really helped me to get around with the newly acquired Cricut Machine. One question, would you happen to know what material thickness the machine can handle? I’m thinking of making a tag using 350 GSM Duplex Paper so it looks way thicker than the one you used in the video. Thanks in advance!
Thank you for the great video! Is there a way to layer a tag like this? Like to have a contrasting background color of cardstock that is just a tad bit bigger? Thank you for your help!
Sure you can use whats called an offset. Sadly just cutting the tag bigger wont work but making an offset is super simple. I have a bunch of videos about it on my channel.
@@CorinneBlackstone Another question Sorry another question I notice my pictures come out dark when printing for the acrylic photo sheet. Do you know why that is. I have an epson printer. Or do you recommend not using a dark photo?
If I were to make a tag like in this video, but wanted to have the SMELL word also cut out, how would I do that? New to the Explore 2, trying to learn before wasting a ton of paper or vinyl.
Your videos are great! I’ve done this before but I’ve gone back into my project and I don’t have that open to change the cut to write. I took a pic of it but I can’t post it here to show you. How do I get that to show up? Hope you can help.
well if its been a while the options have moved to the top of the screen its now towards the left at the top. that may be the issue. also if you have attached them you will need to detach
I am very new to the cricut machine and was curious if there is a way to make customized leather tags with printed/engraved logo for crocheted hats and beanies. I recently received the cricut explore air 2.
YOu cannot with letters this large unless you color them yourself. if you are not using a single line font of writing font they will always be bubble letters.
Hi! thank you for this tutorial. Problem is, my one only has the "cut" word on the right side. It doesn't show the option to change it to "pen". what am i dong wrong?? huhu please help.

2 mm is the thickest it can cut
@@CorinneBlackstone Appreciate your reply! Well noted. Thanks once again for your detailed information. Too kind! Have a great day to you!
very nice tutorial, but why on the right side for me only shows cut, not write ...where u pick what it needs to be done with each part of project>?
Its moved to the top now. And its worded as draw now
Can you show a video on how to make name tags but not the standard size name labels, smaller than that?
I have hundreds of videos I am sure there is a video that would work for what you are looking to do
Thank you for the great video! Is there a way to layer a tag like this? Like to have a contrasting background color of cardstock that is just a tad bit bigger? Thank you for your help!
Sure you can use whats called an offset. Sadly just cutting the tag bigger wont work but making an offset is super simple. I have a bunch of videos about it on my channel.
Thank you for the easy tutorial that’s not an hour long 😅
than ku
In the beginning, you made the tag a cut image, how do you decide to print or cut the image? what is the difference print or cut
Again great video!! But how do you do multiple colors on a card do you put a different pen in each time?
Yep you have to change the color on design space and then after it writes with one color it will prompt you to change to the next color
@@CorinneBlackstone thank you!!!
@@CorinneBlackstone Another question Sorry another question I notice my pictures come out dark when printing for the acrylic photo sheet. Do you know why that is. I have an epson printer. Or do you recommend not using a dark photo?
@@klynn4726 the lighter the photo the brighter it will look on sheets like that
the writing & the shaped pattern ive done is welded ,but when its time to go,, the writing is seperate to the shape????
If I were to make a tag like in this video, but wanted to have the SMELL word also cut out, how would I do that? New to the Explore 2, trying to learn before wasting a ton of paper or vinyl.
You would just slice the word or attach the word to the tag
Your videos are great! I’ve done this before but I’ve gone back into my project and I don’t have that open to change the cut to write. I took a pic of it but I can’t post it here to show you. How do I get that to show up? Hope you can help.

I am very new to the cricut machine and was curious if there is a way to make customized leather tags with printed/engraved logo for crocheted hats and beanies. I recently received the cricut explore air 2.
How do you change from cut to wright with the app on your phone
My panel to the right does not have the little scissors. It just has the word cut. Click and nothing happens. Help!
Design space has updated your option to write is now called draw under line type at the top of the screen towards the left
Than you so much for the prompt reply. It works!
HELP! She explained this so well-But I can’t get the color OR the pen/scissor icon on the right to show up
Brent and Christina Kirkpatrick these have moved to the top now. It’s under fill use draw
thank you!!!
How would you get the letters to be solid rather then the way it is in video?
YOu cannot with letters this large unless you color them yourself. if you are not using a single line font of writing font they will always be bubble letters.
