Instructions

  • Set up your design in Cricut Design Space. You can see more about how to do that in the video above. Then print your photos onto the photo paper. Be sure to turn off auto bleed and use the printer dialogue box for printing. You want to use the best setting on your printer to get the best images.

  • Add the printed paper to your mat and put foil on top. You will need to tape the foil down well with the tape included with the foil. Please note that you cannot put the tape over the black box. I like to cut the tape in half lengthwise before using.

  • Then use your Cricut to foil and cut your design. Cricut Design Space will prompt you when to add each tool and remove the foil.
