  • Cricut Design Space

    Next, we'll cover the panels and toolbars in Cricut Design Space so can create projects from scratch, as well as upload outside files.

    Finally we'll create a project, from start to finish, using everything we've learned in the class. You'll walk away confident in using your machine!
