The Cricut Design Studio Software is a great tool, with one major draw back, it doesn’t come with a comprehensive instruction manual until now. Many Cricut design studio users have had a trouble trying to master the software. Lucky, you do not have to have the same trouble. A handy guide to Design Studio is now available online. The step by step instruction manual and video covers how to use all the features of the Cricut designstudio.
Though the software allows you to view and design with any cartridge out there, you can only use the machine with the cartridges you actually have. By designing different projects on the computer it will give you a better idea what cartridges you will want to get next. And, you can save your designs for later use. Stumped when it comes to creativity? Need some new inspiration? Check out the Cricut message boards or search the internet to view and download the cool and creative files that other Cricut Expression software users have created. This is a fun way to add different styles to your own designs, but to also get new and fresh project ideas.
Create designs using more than one cartridge; make sure to have all the cartridges available when you are ready to start cutting. You can still create different layers for your designs, like shadows and other elements. The key is to create each element on another layer in the design studio software so that your Cricut machine will know to cut these layers separately and on the paper of your choice.
The program includes a searchable database of every letter, shape and number in the whole Cricut cartridge library, putting thousands of designs at your fingertips. And, Cricut offers online updates to continually add to the library collection. Also, with the tools included, you can have total control over your Cricut, allowing you to meld letters into one word, as well as to format and shape items on a virtual cutting mat before your machine even begins its work.
