I am exploring ideas about photobooth and DIY stickers.
So it was finally time to look at Print & Cut with the Cricut (for stickers).
It worked fine with both SVG & PNG
If you just Print and Cut an image, it will cut out all the black lines.
Which is represented by the black line cut out and the white inners that came out of it.
We want what is on the right, the blue gnome.
This is done by creating an offset.
The offset still looks for EVERY contour cut line possible, so you need to hide all but the outline one.
The contour tool shows up when the offset is a “Basic Cut” (not a print & cut)
And you probably want to make the offset white (unless you want a blue gnome).
The final creation step is to select the image (that is Print & Cut) and the offset (that is Basic Cut) and “Flatten” them. This “merges” them in some manner, so they are not separate actions
If it doesnt seem to cut correctly, there is some calibration that can be done with your Cricut (I dont know that yet)
Instead of an “offset” you can put various shapes behind your images.
Still pay attention to the color and “Flatten” with the image.
