Design Space Overview
How to upload an Image
Design Space is Cricut's Program that sends your digital designs to the machine.
You will need to know how to use DesignSpace with your Cricut BUT you don't need to know how to design with it if you are familiar with other design programs.
My favorite places to design are
Silhouette Studio
PicMonkey
Illustrator
Other people like: Inkscape (I have never tried it)
You can upload SVGS, PNGS, and JPEGS to design space.
4. LET'S DO A PROJECT
