How to Use Cricut Print-Then-Cut Feature

How to Use Cricut Print-Then-Cut Feature

Cricut Print then Cut feature is one of my favorite features. You can literally change nearly every cut file into a print then cut image. I like to use the Print then Cut feature when I make gift tags, or when I want to cut super tiny images to make stickers or even paper confetti.

This review is based strictly on my opinion.  Others may have a different opinion or experience with the product listed.  I was provided the sample free of charge and paid a small fee by the company or PR agency and I provided my honest opinion.
If you decide to make a purchase through my links, I will be paid a small commission for it. This doesn’t cost you anything additional. These commissions help to keep the rest of my content free, so thank you!

For this project, I made simple Print then Cut Easter tag. For this project, I used two separate images in Cricut Design Space to make one tag. 

Supplies:

Cricut

Design Space Access

Printer

Paper

Step 1:

Calibrate your machine for Print then Cut. It’s really simple to do, but if you get stuck, Cricut has a step by step tutorial. And if you haven’t already set up a Design Space account, do that too. {It’s free and easy to do}

Step 2:

Cricut New Project Screen Shot

Open a new project. You can click on the box on the top right or the larger box with the plus sign in the middle. This will open a new canvas.

Step 3:

Cricut Design Space Screen Shot Images

Cricut Design Space Images

Click on images on the left side. This will take you to the Cricut Access Library. If the image has a green a in the top corner, it is part of the Cricut Access Subscription. {If it doesn’t, you will have to pay for that image, but you will own the image forever} Use the search bar to narrow down your options. 

Step 4:

Cricut Design Space Easter Egg Screen Shot

Choose your image; click on the image you like and select insert on the bottom right. This will place that image on your canvas. It will have multiple layers when you insert it. {I used that egg, but hid the contours to make it a solid shape.}

Step 5:

Select the whole image, with all of the layers, and click flatten on the bottom right side. Resize the image to fit your needs, mine is fairly small because it is a gift tag.

Step 6:

Cricut Design Space Screen Shot Make It

Click on Make It on the top Right side of you screen. That will take you to the Cutting Mat editing screen. Click Continue on the bottom right side of your screen.

Step 7:

Cricut Design Space Image Cutting Mat Page

Send the project to your printer. It will print with a black box around your image(s), that is for the Cricut to detect the image. 

Step 8: 

After the project has printed, place the paper on the cutting mat, and select the type of material you are cutting. {Typically, I use cardstock or printable vinyl for my Print then Cut projects.}

Step 9:

Load the mat into your Cricut and cut the image.
