The Story Behind the New Cricut Imagine Machine
Dec 1st
What Is The Cricut Imagine Machine?
The Cricut Imagine machine, announced by ProvoCraft at the Craft & Hobby Association Summer Convention and Tradeshow (CHA) is one of its kind. It’s currently the only machine that allows the user to both cut and print using the same device, saving a lot of time and money. Featuring inkjet print technology by HP, you choose a design from an extensive library of cartridges, have it printed and than cut in one go.
But What Does It Mean To Scrapbookers?
The use of cutouts and shapes in various colors are a great way to improve and add pizzazz to all kinds of arts and crafts projects, including scrapbooking and card making.
These also called diets may be of a myriad of materials, like paper, card stock, vellum, thin plastics, foils and transparencies.
With most of manual and electronic cutters on the market today, such as the Sizzix and Cricut Expression, you have to plan ahead and choose the color of your die-cut before cutting. In other words, the color of your design will be the color of the paper (or fabric, or stock) you select.
In addition to that, when creating complex or intricate designs, you may need to change paper colors frequently.
Other systems, such as the Wishblade, allow you to print {the|your} desired shape using an ordinary inkjet printer, than run the printed page through the machine to cut. The biggest problem with that is that it’s a two step process, using two different machines, and that requires the user correctly set up registration marks so the machine will know exactly where to cut. This is often a trial and error process and the results are not always satisfactory.
Thus, the need exists for a system that allows the user to print an image and cut the image without manual registration. This is where the Cricut Imagine comes in, to fill a huge gap in the market and open a whole new world of possibilities for scrapbookers, cardmakers and paper crafters in general.
Main Cricut Imagine Features:
With Cricut Pattern and Cricut Color cartridges, you can fill any shape with beautiful patterns, adding
more dimension and variety to your designs;
You can use all previous cartridges with the Cricut Imagine. But there will also be new cartridges released to work exclusively with this new machine, just like it happened with the Cricut Cake;
The Cricut Imagine is also compatible with both the Gypsy and the Design Studio software;
All the information can be easily accessed by the use of an LCD touch-screen navigation system;
New cartridges for the Cricut Imagine include: 12 new Cricut Imagine Art cartridges and 12 new Cricut Imagine Colors & Patterns cartridges;
The On-board color and pattern selector allows you to choose colors, sizes and more;
The Cricut Imagine machine can cut shapes from.25″ to 11.5″, and works with large-format papers up to 12″ x 12″;
Just like the Cricut Expression and other previous machines, the Imagine doesn’t require a computer to operate;
Share the same blades and blade housings as the other Cricut machines, making it easy for users to upgrade without having to buy everything again;
The only different is the mat, which is greatly improved.
This means no more no more buying tons of expensive scrapbook paper, changing paper colors between cuts or struggling with manual registration marks. All you need in one simple to use system that does everything for you and allows your creative to soar.
The Cricut Imagine is not only unique to the crafting industry, but to the world of technology. Currently there’s no another device that incorporates both printing and cutting the way the Imagine does.

How Paper Crafters Import and Cut SVG Files for Cricut
Nov 18th
With more and more paper crafters using digital die cuts to create scrapbook pages, cards and decorations, the desire to learn how to import and cut SVG files on a Cricut digital die cutting machine is also growing.
Even novice scrapbookers need not feel intimidated by digital die cuts. The process of downloading, importing, preparing and cutting the designs is actually quite simple. And with two quality third-party software programs on the market (Sure Cuts a Lot and Make the Cut), each with active message boards and support forums, any glitches should be easily resolved.
First, anyone planning to use SVG files must have three things: a Cricut machine (either the original Personal “Baby Bug,” the Create or the 12-by-12-inch capable Expression), along with a standard printer cable and either Sure Cuts a Lot or Make the Cut.
Sure Cuts a Lot (SCAL) and Make the Cut (MTC) are available for purchase via their respective manufacturers. SCAL is compatible with both Mac and PC, while MTC was designed for PCs and will only work with a Mac that is running Boot Camp or Parallels.
While some sites make files available for purchase, there are many available for free. There are SVGs available in all kinds of themes, from animals to holidays to toys. Many images are similar in quality to the designs available on the Cricut cartridges sold by Provo Craft for $70 to $80 each.
Once you find a SVG file you like, download it to your computer. It’s usually just a simple process of clicking on a download button or link, and then “unzipping” a compressed file by double-clicking on the file name once it’s downloaded and then choosing Extract. It’s a good idea to organize your SVG “collection” into folders by subject, or via some other system.
If you are using Sure Cuts a Lot, open the program and the mat screen will appear. You can set your virtual mat to 12-by-12, 6-by-12 or 12-by-24, depending on the size of your Cricut machine and real-life mat. Under the File menu, select “Import SVG” and then navigate to the SVG image and click OK to import it. You will be able to change the image’s size, rotate it and combine it with other images, among other functions.
In Make the Cut, open the program so the mat screen appears and choose “Import,” and then “SVG/SVGZ File.” The image will appear on your virtual mat and you can choose “Shape Magic” and “Break” the SVG to separate it into the parts of the image.
In either program, once you have the elements of the image arranged the way you want them, usually by color and maximizing paper use, arrange your cardstock or paper in the corresponding areas of the sticky Cricut mat.
Save your project, make sure the Cricut mat is loaded into the machine (check blade pressure and speed) and then choose the “Cut” command. If you have any trouble, remember, both SCAL and MTC have active support communities.
Another benefit of using third-party software with the Cricut is the ability to cut virtually any True Type Font, including welding (joining together) letters.
Once the design is cut, it can be assembled with glue. Many paper crafters, as well as those using SVG designs for school projects, home decor or other uses, like to add dimension and their own creative spin to die cuts with white gel pens, chalk, ink, glitter glue or dimensional “pop” dots.
As many paper crafters who love saving money while expanding their creative options, using designer cut files with a cutter such as Cricut is an easy process to master, thanks to high-quality SVGs and third-party software.

Cricut Design Studio – The Cricut User’s Must-Have Tool
Sep 8th
Many crafting enthusiasts have fallen in love with their personal electronic die-cut machine, the Cricut. A new addition to the already popular product is the development of a software program created just for Cricut users.
Cricut Design Studio is a computer software program created by Provocraft, the designers of the Cricut machine. While the machine itself allows the user to cut various shapes and fonts in a rage of sizes, the Cricut Design Studio takes it to a whole new level. Simply connect the Cricut to the computer via a USB port, install the software, and unleash a whole new dimension of crafting.
The main benefit of the Cricut Design Studio is the ability for users to weld, or connect letters together to form a single cutting. Gone are the days of gluing each letter one at a time. Now letters, phrases, and shapes can be welded together before cutting making it faster and easier than ever to add cuttings to projects.
Another benefit of the Cricut Design Studio is that the shapes and letters can be manipulated extensively before cutting. Users are no longer limited to only adjusting the size, but can now change the shape properties to better support their overall design. Each image can be stretched, slanted and flipped to get the exact look the crafter is needing.
While the Cricut Design Studio has benefit after benefit, my personal favorite is the ability to incorporate images from various cartridges into one design. The user can now design with all the cartridge options at once instead of being limited to cutting with one cartridge at a time.
Advanced and ultra-creative users have created awe inspiring projects by combining several different cartridges into one incredible cutting.
The Cricut Design Studio is, in my opinion, a necessity for every Cricut owner. While there is a learning curve to it, once it is understood the creative options are absolutely unlimited. The Cricut and the Design Studio have become a must-have resource for every scrapbooker and card maker today.
Brandi Gore has been in the scrapbook industry for 10 years. She teaches classes and does custom scrapbooks for others.
