Cricut design studio name book instructions WORD BOOK

Many people have asked for instructions on my name book so since i was making one to have alota rubberstamped images in , i thought i would try to explane what i do hope this helps
For this book i used George cartridge (but you can use what every cartridge you wish) firstly i added in the layers i needed and named then (in this case the letter of the page of book then the colour in which i wanted to cut it out off) and selected the shadow alphebet and the default size (which in this case i am using 4 inches (which i also used on the grace book))


Now you add the first letter of you name you wish for your book and move it to the middle left hand side of the mat (i use the grid on the mat to make sure i am placing all letters evenly)

Then (with the background preview on ) move to the next layer along and place the next letter and move it to a place on the mat that looks right for the next page in your book (you can move them again when you get more put in if it is in the wrong spot)

go to next layer and add the next letter of the name moving it again to where you think you would want the next letter in your book

go to next layer and add the next letter of the name moving it again to where you think you would want the next letter in your book

go to next layer and add the next letter of the name moving it again to where you think you would want the next letter in your book (now is where you check that the letters are as you would like them )

Now you go to layer one again and you push shift and you will see the shapes pick the square shape
add one box and then adjust the width to sit left had side of your letter like this (i now copy this box (this way when i paste it to next layer it is in the right spot)

Next layer I turn the preview background off now and paste the square i copied from previous layer and just use the side arrow to adjust it to sit the left hand side of the letter

Next layer paste box and use side arrow to make bigger to sit just to the side of the letter

Next layer paste box and use side arrow to make bigger to sit just to the side of the letter

Next layer paste box and use side arrow to make bigger to sit just to the side of the letter

I now go to each layer select the letter and click the weld tick

I now go to each layer select the box and click the weld tick

now up to preview and click the button

and t will show all pages , so you can get a rough idea of how it will look

now i go to the lettering layer the these ones are going to be one colour and then i have every second letter another colour (these are the letters to go over the shadowed letters)

and to save paper i arrange this so it fits snug


To next layer and add my other two letters

amd arramge to fit snug and save paper
