My Cricut Door Project

The weather was a little bit cooler this past weekend, and I was fortunate that I was able to spend some time with my Cricut Explore Air 2, and work on a project. I had been wanting to use the vinyl and make a sign for our front door, but just hadn't had the time.

I started out by deciding on what my sign would say. Since it was going to be on the front door, I was deciding between "Welcome" or "Hello". I decided to go with Hello because it sounded friendlier to me.

That was the easy part... deciding on a color was a much bigger challenge. I held all the vinyl colors up to the door and didn't really care for any of them against the wood grain color of the door. I finally just chose the light blue because it matched the house (light blue with white trim.)

It was so easy to play with different fonts and sized to get just the right look for my door. Design space lets you see exactly what it looks like on the screen and easily change it to try different things. Design Space works on a computer or tablet, so I used my Ipad to create this project. Design space is a free download from Cricut, that allows you to link your physical cartridges to your account and use them to design your projects. Cricut Access is a membership (starting at $4.99 a month) that is used in Design Space to access additional Cricut fonts and images to use for your projects. Check out all the Cricut Access Memberships and Features HERE!

I really love being able to log into Design Space and create my projects anytime or place I feel like it (as long as you have wifi or internet access.) I can save the projects and then cut them when I get home to my Cricut Machine.

I forgot to show you the simple project I did about a week ago using the Cricit Iron-on Glitter. I purchased the new Cricut Shoulder Tote bag... which I absolutely LOVE! I know several people who already have these bags, and thought perhaps it needed a little personalizing, so I wouldn't lose it at a crop or event. A capital letter L should do the trick!

This is the Shoulder Tote Bag. I don't have the Machine Tote or Rolling Craft Tote... Yet, but I already have my L's cutout and ready to go on them. The bags are all on sale right now, so check them out HERE!
