Outlining a font in Cricut Design Space can add an extra layer of style and definition to your projects. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
Choose Your Font
First, open Cricut Design Space and start a new project. Select the 'Text' tool and type your desired text using the font you prefer.
Duplicate the Text
Once you've typed your text, right-click on it and select 'Duplicate'. This will create an identical copy of your text, which you'll use to create the outline.
Create the Outline
Select one of the text layers and change its color to the outline color you want. This helps you distinguish between the text and its outline. Next, increase the size of the duplicated text slightly to form the outline around the original text.
Position the Outline
Carefully align the enlarged text (the outline) with the original text to ensure the effect looks precise and clean. You can use the alignment tools in Design Space for accuracy.
And there you have it! With these steps, you can outline any font in Cricut Design Space, giving your crafts a professional and polished look. Happy crafting! 🎨

Start with the Right Settings
If you're starting a new project in a design software like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, make sure to set the resolution to 300 dpi or ppi (pixels per inch) from the beginning.
Change Resolution in Existing Designs
Adobe Photoshop
1. Open your image or design in Photoshop. 2. Go to 'Image' > 'Image Size.' 3. Under the 'Resolution' area, set it to 300 pixels/inch. 4. Ensure 'Resample' is checked if you want to maintain the dimensions of the design.
Adobe Illustrator
1. Open the design in Illustrator. 2. Go to 'File' > 'Document Raster Effects Settings.' 3. Set the resolution to 'High (300 ppi).'
Save and Export
Once your project is set to 300 dpi, make sure to export or save your design in a format that maintains this resolution, such as TIFF, PNG, or PDF, especially for printing purposes.
By following these steps, you can ensure your design is crisp and clear when printed. 🎨 Happy designing!
Making Splash Boards-I don't want to work with vinyl but with paper - what is the procedure to preparing the wood and paper.
Creating splash boards with paper is a delightful way to add a personal touch to your space without using vinyl. Here's a guide to preparing the wood and paper for your project.
Preparing the Wood
Sanding
Start by sanding the wood surface to create a smooth, even base. Use medium-grit sandpaper and gradually move to finer grits.
Cleaning
Wipe the wood with a damp cloth to remove any dust and debris left from sanding. Allow it to dry completely.
Priming
Apply a coat of wood primer to ensure better adhesion of your paper. Let the primer dry according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Painting (Optional)
If you want the background color to show through your paper design, paint the primed wood with your desired color and let it dry thoroughly.
Preparing the Paper
Choosing Paper
Select a paper that suits your design theme. Scrapbook paper, printed images, or even pages from an old book can work well.
Cutting Paper
Trim the paper to your desired size and shape using scissors or a craft knife, ensuring it fits your splash board design.
Sealing Paper
To protect your paper from moisture, you can apply a thin layer of decoupage glue or a spray sealant to the paper and let it dry.
Adhering Paper to Wood
Applying Glue
Use a decoupage medium or a suitable adhesive to coat the back of your paper and the prepared wood surface.
Positioning Paper
Carefully position the paper onto the wood, starting from one edge and smoothing it out to prevent air bubbles.
Sealing the Surface
Once the paper is securely attached, apply a coat of decoupage medium over the top to seal and protect your work. Let it dry fully.
Once your splash board is complete and dry, it's ready to be displayed. Enjoy your unique and creative piece! 🎨
