How to Use Cricut EasyPress 2?[A Beginner's Guide]

The Cricut EasyPress is my favorite heat press machine when it comes to making T-shirts. When I bought my first Cricut machine, it took me a while to set up the Cricut EasyPress for the first time. So, when I started my business, I usually used a regular iron for projects. However, as my business grew, I felt the need for a Cricut EasyPress machine. Having used this machine extensively, I will guide you on how to use Cricut EasyPress 2 effectively.

One thing to note for all the beginners thinking about buying this machine is that it is really powerful, with great capabilities to adjust the temperature and time according to materials. Therefore, if you are interested in getting it, I highly recommend it. Let’s learn a little more about it.

Cricut EasyPress 2: An Overview

When I used to make my projects, I never used a heat press. And the regular iron used to take too long to prepare an iron-on project. Also, working with infusible ink with a normal iron is just impossible. So, you will need to buy an EasyPress by hook or by crook.

What Will You Need to Use a Cricut EasyPress 2?

A Cricut machine is in the box already. Apart from this, you will need iron-on vinyl, which you will cut with your cutting machine. Cricut infusible ink is also there in the list, which you will need to make iron-on shirts and other projects.

To clean the projects, you will also need a weeding tool. This tool will clear out the excess vinyl from your final cuts. Lastly, an EasyPress mat is necessary to protect your work surface from heat damage. So, you can place your material on that mat and then apply the heat.

How to Use Cricut EasyPress 2?

Using a Cricut EasyPress 2 is quite easy and doesn’t take much time. I hope you guys know the procedure to cut an iron-on vinyl from your Cricut cutting machine. So, I won’t explain that portion and will start only the process for EasyPress. Below are the instructions to use a Cricut EasyPress 2 machine.

In the first step, I expect you to cut your design and weed out the excess vinyl with a weeding tool. Don’t forget to mirror your design before cutting.

Now, ON your Cricut EasyPress machine, adjust the temperature with the help of a thermometer, and use the arrow keys. (The Cricut Heat guide will help you choose the right temperature for your material)

When you notice the red light turning green, it indicates that the machine is all set. And you will also hear a beep.

Now, put the blank on your EasyPress mat.

Press your blank for about 5 minutes to warm it up for the actual pressing. Plus, a pre-heat will remove the wrinkles from your material.

Next, place your iron-on vinyl onto the blank and make sure that the shinier part is facing up.

It’s time to set up the timer on your EasyPress and learn the process of how to use Cricut EasyPress 2.

Apply gentle pressure while pressing your material.

Once the time is up, a beep will be produced. Then, place your EasyPress back to its base.

Allow your design to cool completely.

Now, remove the plastic backing from the vinyl.

If your material needs more heating, it’s ok to press it for a little longer.

That’s it for the Cricut EasyPress 2. You can try this out and create any of your favorite stuff to utilize the machine.

Conclusion

Do you know how to use Cricut EasyPress 2 now? Hopefully, you do. See, this machine is damn easy to use, and you will feel too comfortable with it once you start using it. However, you must master the cutting part with your Cricut cutting machine. Only then can you utilize a Cricut EasyPress for your projects. When you start using this machine, you will realize how wonderful the machine is.

Q.2 How to Use Cricut EasyPress Mini?

After that, start using the EasyPress Mini across your material and cover the whole design, such as the edges and center, until the time goes 0.

In this tutorial, I will show you all the basic steps to make it easy to create DIY stickers.

How to Make Stickers with Cricut Joy Xtra?

Let's proceed toward the total number of steps that you need to take when it comes to creating customized stickers out of the craft plotter. It is okay whether you are a beginner or an expert in creating stickers; it's compulsory to go through the information given below very carefully.

Step 1: Create Stickers in Cricut Design Space

Begin the process of designing personalized stickers by downloading and installing the Design Space on your device. After getting the app, start creating your account on the Cricut app. Now, you need to log in by entering your Cricut ID & password.

With the successful login, tap the New Project, and you will automatically land on the Cricut app canvas. At the canvas, press the Images icon and search for your image by typing it inside the blank. Next, press Operation Type and tick the Print Then Cut option. After doing that, choose your image from the library and press the Add to Canvas box.

Following this, choose the shooting star design and press the Offset tool given at the top of the canvas. Now, move the offset slider back and forth as per the requirement and tick the Apply box. After doing that, change the border outline from grey to white by opening the Colorbar drop box.

In the process of how to make stickers with Cricut, select both designs and hit the Flatten tool. After hitting the tool, it will instantly turn the design into a sticker, decreasing your workload. Further, repeat the steps for other designs and change their sizes as per your choice. Afterward, click the Make It button visible at the top right side of your Cricut app canvas.

Step 2: Print & Laminate Stickers

Furthermore, calibrate both devices by hitting the Send to Printer option and following the instructions appearing on your device screen. After the calibration comes to an end, switch on your printer and insert the sheet into your printing device. Now, you need to wait till the printer is printing your stickers on the sheet. With the completion of the printing process, let the sheet rest for a few minutes.

Equally important, unbox your Cricut cutting mat and place the sheet on the mat. After doing that, cover the printout sheet with the lamination sheet by using the brayer tool to avoid any bubbles.

Step 3: Load the Mat & Stickers into Your Machine

After designing and printing the stickers, go back to Design Space and choose compatible material from the Browse All Materials list. Keep scrolling down the list, and after locating the material, click it and press the Done option.

Moreover, set the pressure settings to Default and start loading the tools and materials. Following this, the little sensors will recognize the registration marks and will let the machine know where to cut during the cutting process.

Step 4: Use Stickers in a Water Bottle, Fridge, etc.

After the cutting process is complete, unload the mat from the Joy Xtra and peel off the sticker sheet from the mat. Next, peel off the sticker from the sheet and stick it to a water bottle, journal, or planner.

Since you walked through the entire process of how to make stickers with Cricut, you can now make uncountable DIY crafts out of your cutting machine.

How to Slice with Cricut? [A Complete Guide]

Do you know about the Slice tool in Cricut Design Space? If yes, have you ever used it to cut out letters or images? Well, that is what we are going to cover in this blog post. The Slice tool helps us create new cut paths where two images overlap. In simple words, you can easily split two overlapped images into multiple pieces. It’s exactly like cutting one image from another.

Also, there are some tips and tricks that you must know about, and we will discuss them later in this blog. With this amazing tool, you can also split text and images by another shape. Once you learn how to Slice with Cricut Design Space, you’ll love trying it again and again for different projects.

What Can You Do with the Slice Tool?

Once you start using the Slice tool, you will be amazed to know how much it can do. This Slice function is essentially helpful for those who want to cut out shapes and text from more extensive background shapes.

Plus, it can be used to copy or trim the unwanted features of shapes or images. With this Slice tool, you can easily:

Punch out the shapes and text from shapes.

Create new and custom shapes from two standard shapes.

Crop and remove the unwanted features of an image.

Cut the image into several pieces and keep them separate into different layers.

Modify the ready-made image using the Cricut library.

Easy Guide: How to Slice with Cricut?

Slice is one the best tools that anyone would like to use. The tool is super easy to use and gives the best result for your gift tags and other Cricut projects. Below, we will learn to use the Slice tool to Slice two images.

Step 1: Add Any Two Single-Layered Images to Your Canvas

The first thing you have to do is to add two images to your canvas. Make sure images are single-layered. You can Slice at least two images at a time. As you can see, the layer panel is on the right side of the canvas (see the image above). There are two layers for each picture.

Below is an example of an image that is multi-layered. All these different colors belong to different layers. On the right-hand side, you can find the layers divided according to different colors.

Step 2: Overlap Both Images

Now, it’s time to overlap our images. All you need to do is place one image over another. Refer to the picture given above for better understanding. However, there is no exact location to place the star, and it depends on where you want it to cut out.

Step 3: Highlight Both Images

To highlight both images, you need to click and drag the images simply. You can also click on both images at a time while pressing the Command button on your Mac or shift on your windows computer. You will notice the bounding box around these images. Hence, when you finally select them, the Slice tool will be activated.

If you are using a phone or tablet, select both images by tapping on it and dragging a selection box around both layers. Next, click on the Actions button to check the availability of the Slice option.

Step 4: Press the Slice Button

Finally, hit the Slice button on the lower right-hand side corner.

Step 5: See the Result

After hitting the Slice button, it seems like nothing has happened. However, when you drag those stars away, you will find two different stars. After that, you will find the three different layers on the layer panel.

Tips and Tricks for Using the Slice Tool

Now, you have learned how to Slice with Cricut. Let’s now focus on a few tips and tricks that you can keep in mind when using the Slice tool.

You can work on two layers at a time while using the Slice with images. Don’t select more than two layers. Otherwise, the button will be grayed out, meaning you can’t use the Slice function anymore.

Slice works only with overlapped images. So, ensure your images are overlapping.

In case you are working on grouped images, then make sure the other images are hidden. However, slicing a multi-layered group requires you to ungroup the other layers. As a result, you will be able to activate the Slice tool.

Final Words

Finally, we learned how to Slice with Cricut Design Space. The Slice tool is the best tool that anyone can use on the Cricut app. If you want to explore the tools deeply, then this guide is for you. The blog explains the possibilities with the Slice tool. Next, we learned to Slice two images using the Slice tool.
