Using FontLab Pad To Create PERFECT text in Cricut Design Space

 There is a quicker and easier way to create text in Design Space Using FONTSLAB PAD

Download fontlab-pad you will be asked to send your email address and then you will receive the link. 



Design space does NOT display the fonts they way that the designer intended it to be, the spacing is very very frustrating and it takes a lot of time trying to get the text aligned properly. 



I have all my font folders on my Desktop as it makes it so much easier to access.
To do this just right click on your desktop and create new folder, The folder I am going to chose is Font Bundles Top Fonts 
I downloaded some folder Icons. .

Now go to www.Dafont.com and download MF I Love Glitter (for personal use ONLY)



Please remember this is for personal use only and you will require a licence if you intend to sell anything with this font on it.

Once the file is downloaded, extract it to your newly created folder.



I love FontLab Pad because you do not have to have the font installed at all. I have far too many fonts and it really slowed down my computer but using this software put a stop to that. 

Open FontLab Pad and simply drop in your Mf I Love Glitter Font

Create your text and then select File>Save As,(remembering where you saved it to because I always forget!!!)


Then go to Design space and upload the file.



This is what it now looks like, It really does make such a difference to ALL your projects. I never type anything in Design Space as it takes up far too much time trying to get it all spaced out properly.


I hope I have been able to explain clearly how to do this as it really is the best way to use text in Design space. ALWAYS ALWAYS REMEMBER TO WELD BEFORE CUTTING OR WRITING.

HTV ON BLINDS TUTORIAL

Brain wave!!!! OK I know I am not alone. I sat staring at my blinds for months wondering if I will ruin them If I put HTV on them. I am using Cricut to cut out a design I purchased and edited years ago.  Im also using vinyl from  GmCrafts (Click Here) .  I have old blinds (not only are they old but they were cheap as chips) that I am going to experiment with you can pick one up from Argos, B&M's or Harry Corry's.  I would advise at this point to only use a blind you are prepared to ruin and not one that you have paid over £300 for.   This is the design I used, you can find something similar on Etsy. Or If you are subscribed to Cricut Access then you can design your own  (here is a basic example)  Just search for music notes and swirls and experiment. I cut the vinyl on Glitter Iron On setting and it cut and weeded perfectly. Weed It Out Ready To Rock Normally Metallic or Holographic HTV is so tempera...
