Today we are simplifying a cricut file for scrapbooking. f you've ever opened a Cricut Design Space file and thought, There are WAY too many pieces to cut! this video is for you! We are
Today I'm sharing a fun and easy Fourth of July scrapbook layout while also showing one of my favorite Cricut Design Space tricks. I'll teach you how to simplify a layered design from lots of individual pieces down to just two easy-to-cut layers using simple Design Space tools.
Along the way you'll learn how to use:
• Slice
• Contour
• Attach
• Offset
**please note you can slow down the playback speed for better step by step
These are techniques I use all the time to make cutting faster, easier, and much less overwhelming.
As a bonus, I've included a **FREE Cricut Design Space file** in the description so you can recreate the featured layout without having to build the design yourself. The file is already sized, colored, and ready to cut!
Whether you're a scrapbooker who owns a Cricut or a Cricut crafter wanting to simplify layered designs, I hope this quick tutorial gives you a few tricks you'll use again and again.
