When we cut this should the textured or smooth side of the cardstock face up…so that this side is scored? I’m thinking smooth side since that is the side that color will be added to…
Texture down and score on the smooth side or you can use a paper that is flat on both sides.
Hello! I made the climbing monkeys (so cute!!) and I want to make this palm plant Cricut Kris telling me the image is too large even when I downsize it. Any suggestions?
Yes! Once you place your project onto the canvas, you can check that it is sized correctly by using the designer notes. Then click the eye icon on the designer notes layer and the project will fit the size of your mats. This was added because at one point the software would change the size of the project without notice. Let me know if that works for you.
Where are the designer notes?
Do you mean on the SVG file? They are in the upper left corner.
