Creative Challenge - Custom Titles using your Cricut


WELCOME TO CRICUT WEEK 2! 


Today I outlining how to create a custom title for your scrapbook layouts within Cricut Design Space. Every once in awhile I want a title that I can not find in the Close To My Heart image sets, so I make my own.

For example, what if I wanted to add the title "Hiking" to the layout I created on Tuesday?

  1. First I hide the "Wander" title.
  2. Next, I add the text "Hiking" 
  3. Now, I try different different fonts on for size.  I settled on a font called "Pooh - wood".
  4. I wanted to use a tree as the letter "I" so I deleted the I and added 2 spaces.
  5. I resized the tree until it "fit" the title.
  6. Then I added two smaller trees to either side of the title.
  7. Once I have the title cut, I could even layer it onto dark brown or black cardstock, then fussy cut around it.
Here is the layout with the new "Hiking" title.

Don't be afraid to make your own title, if you can't find a suitable title in your images.  You will be surprised how many fonts you can find and how many creative images you can add to your title.  Give it a try.

Stay well and Happy crafting!!
And remember all Cricut and general crafting questions are welcome!!
