How to Cut All Images on One Cricut Mat in Design
Space
I like to conserve paper –
especially my “good” cardstock.
Unfortunately for me, in Design Space, all layers are arranged onto
separate mats by default. That means
that I have to do a little work if I want to cut them all on one sheet of
cardstock. The process takes a few
minutes, but it’s definitely worth the extra time. Here is a step-by-step process that I find
pretty easy to do.
1.
Add all of your
images to the on-screen mat as usual.
2.
Click the Sync button in the upper right section
of the control panel.
3.
Now, following
the instructions, drag all of your images to the top layer. They will now all be the same color. This is the key to making all of the images
cut on the same mat, because Design Space cuts all images with the same color
on the same mat. If you wanted to cut
some images out of one color cardstock, and some out of another, you would
simply drag and drop the images into the appropriate layers.
4.
Now that all of
your images are the same color on your mat, click Go to start cutting.
5.
If you want to
use a smaller sheet of cardstock, for example 8 ½ x 11, you can drag your
images around on the mat, avoiding the space that you wouldn’t want to
use. Remember that each square on the
mat is one square inch.
6.
Now click Go in the bottom right corner of your
screen to cut your project.
With a little practice,
this process will become easier to remember and master. Have fun!
