“What Can You Do With Cricut Design Studio?”

What is the Cricut Design Studio?

The Cricut Design Studio is a computer software designed by cricut manufacturers to allow cricut users to use the entire cricut cartridge library in designing just one artwork. The software includes an electronic version of all the images found in the cricut cartridges. It also gives the user more room for creativity because it allows you to rotate, resize and weld letters, phrases and shapes from any of the cricut cartridges. While this, in itself, may seem like reason enough for you to go out and purchase the new cricut software, you may want to read on and learn a few basics about the product before you make the decision to buy. In this way, you will be sure not to have any regrets about the purchase later on.
First of all, you have to take note that while you can design your artwork with images from the entire cricut library, you can only cut images with the cartridges that you already have. This is because the cricut cutting machine will ask you to load the specific cartridge for the images on the artwork that you have designed. If you do have all the necessary cartridges available, the good news is that both the software and the cutting machine allow you to load more than one cartridge in a single cutting. This means that you can take letters and other images from any cartridge and then just load all the necessary cartridges when you go to cut the images.
One of the features that make the Cricut Design Studio attractive to consumers is the ability to weld or connect letters together to form a single cutting. When you use this feature, never forget to check the welding box for each of the images that you are going to weld. When previewing one cut, you will know that letters are properly welded if the cutting lines are all in a bold line. If, however, you see that an image appears in solid color that means it has not been melded. This is the reason why you should always check the individual welding boxes. Take note that welding will also remove all scorelines from the images you are cutting.
For those whose creative juices are not that well-stocked, there is another option available. You have the choice of browsing through the designs created by other design studio users and using them for your own project. You may visit the message boards at the cricut website to see which users are currently sharing their designs. The message boards will usually contain links to where you can download these designs. Once you have downloaded them, you can simply open the designs in your design studio software and modify it to suit your taste or use it as is. Remember as well to get regular updates for the Cricut Design Studio on the cricut website. These updates will help fix any bugs on the program and also provide you with the latest cartridges to make sure that you are not left behind in your designs.
