To create designs and operate the Cricut Maker, you will use an app called Cricut Design Space. You can access the app from the Idea Lab computers or download it to your own device.
Design Space can be installed on Windows or Mac computers or on an Apple iOS or Android device. Check the Cricut website for the minimum recommended system requirements.
You will need to create a Cricut I.D. and sign into the software each time you use it.
Although the Design Space app is free to use, some premium features are only available with a paid Cricut Access subscription.
We will cover the basics of using Cricut Design Space in this tutorial.
Once you have created your Cricut I.D., view this brief Design Space Tour on the Cricut YouTube channel.
