The Cricut Design Studio is the number one must-have of all Cricut essentials. Here’s why:
The Design Studio is a software program brought to you by Provocraft, the guys behind the Cricut machine. After installing the software, all you have to do is connect your machine to the computer and start designing at a whole new level!
It really takes a lot of frustrations away and lets you focus on just crafting. You can weld or connect letters together for a single cutting. I think this is a big issue. It saves you a lot of time, headache and wasted effort and paper.
You can also manipulate letters and shape within the software program. And I don’t mean just the size. You can literally go in and change all shape properties.
You can stretch, slant and flip each shape as you need it to fit into your overall design. It really is one of my favorite Cricut essentials.
If you’re a power user, check this out:
Instead of working with just one cartridge at a time, the software allows you to incorporate images from various cartridges into one single cutting.
However you look at it, the Cricut Design Studio is a necessity for every Cricut owner. As with every tool, there is a learning curve to it. But if you really love what you do, you’ll pick up on it pretty darn quickly.
