How do colors look like in Cricut Design Space?Īt this point, you know the three different ways to add color in Cricut Design Space. Print then Cut is a very robust setting, and I can’t cover everything of it in this tutorial, so check out my helpful guide.

Cricut has hundreds of them! (Patters are only available in Desktop computers, the app doesn’t have them). Something great about Print the Cut is that you can fill in (color) your images with patterns. To add/change the color of a layer you want to Print then Cut, add your design to the canvas, select it set linetype as “Cut” and Fill to Print. Before you send your project to your printer, you need to make sure to add the colors the way you want. That’s not the case for Print then Cut designs.

In the previews ways to add color (Cut and Draw), I mentioned that changing colors wasn’t always relevant, because the final color is given by the material you use or the pen you install in your machine. When you use this feature, you are putting your printer to work, and your Cricut will cut the edges of your design.

Unlike “Cut” and “Draw,” when you are using “Cut” as linetype and “Print” as a fill, you can FILL in images with the colors you want to use. Some of the things you can make with this feature are stickers (read the tutorial) and gift tags (read the tutorial). Print then Cut is one of my favorite features the Cricut machine has. To learn all about the Cricut Pens, make sure to read my step by step guide.Īdd Color to image/design you want to print. Note: There’s an exception to this rule when you use writing fonts or designs in Cricut’s library made for drawing purposes. You must understand that the pens are only going to outline your shape, text, image. When a layer has “Draw” as linetype, you are telling your Cricut you want to use Cricut Pens. Change/Add colors with “Draw” as linetype There’s also an advanced setting that will allow you to see more colors. To change colors, add something to the canvas (image, text, shape), select it, and click on the little square next to linetype to pick your color. Tip: If you are working on a design that has a single color, you don’t have to change colors because everything is one single mat during the cutting process. These materials can be vinyl, paper, fabric you name it. When a layer has “Cut” as linetype, every color represents a different material.
