Step one

Create your design in the Cricut design spec. This is done by logging in or creating an account into the Cricut design space.

Step two

Start a new project once you have accessed your account in the Cricut design space.

Select images on the left side of the screen. Or you can search the best image that you want to place in your sticker by using a search bar at the top right corner of your screen. After you have found the image you liked, you can insert the image by clicking on the insert button at the page bottom.

Alternatively, if you want to use your image, you can upload it into the Cricut design space.

Step three

Select on all the images that you want to use by clicking on each of them. Then weld the images to be one piece instead of separate pieces. You can do this by clicking the "flatten" button found at the right-hand side of the screen at the bottom.

Step four

Resize your images by clicking on them, and then you drag the box on the right-hand side to the size you would want to use.

However, if you want multiple rows of images, you can click at the "select all" button. This button is at the top left corner of the screen with a "+" sign above it. After which, you can click on "edit" and then "copy." By doing this, you will have all your rows copied for you, and then click on "edit" again, the "paste." This is the easiest way to copy and to paste when you are making a sticker with the Cricut machine using images.

At this stage, your sticker ready for printing, thus you can do the following:

·         Save your design by clicking on the “save” button at the top left corner of your screen. Your saved project design will appear as a “print then cut” image.

·         Click on the “make It” green button located at the top right corner of your screen.

Cricut Ideas - Craft Ideas For Your Cricut Cutting Machine

Need some Cricut ideas for your Cricut cutting machine? Cricut personal electric cutters are revolutionizing hand crafts and people across the country are amazed at the number of innovative and beautiful things that they can suddenly make.

The way a Cricut works is simple: just load one of the many available cartridges into the cutter, select what color card stock you would like to work with for that particular design and cut away. Each cartridge has a number of themed designs - anything from seasonal designs to favorite superheroes - and Cricut users can choose one or more designs from each cartridge. The cut out designs are then stuck on...

wall hangings

scrapbooks

picture frames

custom greeting cards - you name it - as everything's possible with a Cricut.

Perhaps the most endearing Cricut craft idea would be a cricut calendar. A separate page could be created for each month, and each of these separate pages could be decorated with different designs. July, for instance, would be trimmed with the designs contained in the Independence Day Seasonal Cartridge while February is the obvious choice for the Love Struck Seasonal Cartridge. The fun doesn't stop there, though, and the Mother's Day Cartridge would be perfect for May while the Easter Cartridge is a natural for April. December is special is Cricut-land, and Cricut users have several sets of designs including the Joys of the Season Cartridge and the Snow Friends Cartridge to choose from.

What would life be without scrapbooks to record every single waking moment of our most precious possessions: our children? With the Cricut cutting machine, scrapbooks can be personalized to each and every child, and what could be better than for mother and daughter - or father and son - to settle down together and choose which images they would like to decorate their own pictures with. Cricut also knows that boys and girls are different and that, while the boys probably won't like using the Once Upon a Princess Cartridge, they would definitely go wild over the Batman: The Brave and The Bold Cartridge. Little girls, on the other hand, would probably turn their dainty noses up at the Robotz Cartridge but would love the Disney Tinker Bell and Friends Cartridge. You will never be at a loss for Cricut scrapbooking ideas.

Your Cricut layout ideas aren't only limited to images, though, and alphabets are also available - like the Sesame Street Font Cartridge and the Ashlyn's Alphabet Cartridge - these would come in handy whenever it comes time to personalize a gift. Ideal presents would include pictures of beloved pets - or perhaps vinyl wall-hangings commemorating a special occasion like that trip overseas - all, of course, embellished with beautiful and bright Cricut cutouts. Cricut caters to every eventuality, and, here, the Create a Critter Cartridge and the Summer in Paris Seasonal Cartridge would be ideal to complement you Cricut home decor.

Birthdays, graduations, Christmas, Hanukkah, Bar Mitzvahs, baby showers: the gift list is endless and this doesn't even include those projects that are done "just for fun". Cricut has cartridges to suit every single occasion - and every single project - that can be thought of. Completing a Cricut project together is also a wonderful way for a family to bond, and the beautiful things that are made together can be treasured for a lifetime
