π¨ You create (or find) an image or design.
π Schedule a consultation with Dream Center staff for final setup.
π During your consultation, weβll adjust settings and send your design to the Cricut Venture.
π Find it online: Use Cricut Design Spaceβs library or search for free SVG files on trusted sites.
π¨ Beginner design: Start in Canva β keep shapes bold and simple. Export as PNG/PDF.
ποΈ Intermediate/Advanced design: Use Inkscape, Figma, or Illustrator to create SVG vector files (best for vinyl cutting).
βοΈ Use bold shapes and clean lines β tiny details may peel or tear.
π °οΈ Choose thicker fonts for text so letters cut cleanly.
π€ Designs should be solid black/white (no colors, gradients, or shading).
π² If layering colors, keep each color as a separate file/layer.
β οΈ Avoid very thin lines (<1 mm) β they may not cut or weed well.
π Save your work as SVG (preferred) or high-resolution PNG/PDF.
π Double-check the size you want before your consultation.
β Make sure all text is converted to outlines/paths so fonts donβt change.
π Book a time with Dream Center staff.
βοΈ Weβll walk through Cricut Design Space, adjust the cut settings, and load your material together.
βοΈ The Cricut Venture will cut your design during your appointment.
