How to Fill in Text with an Image // Cricut Design Space Tutorial

Imagine transforming ordinary text into captivating visual masterpieces, where every letter or word becomes a canvas for vibrant images, patterns, or even photographs. Whether you're a seasoned Cricut user or just starting your journey, this blog post will introduce you to the exciting technique of filling text with images using Cricut Design Space.

Step 1: Select your text and image Begin by typing out the desired text in Cricut Design Space, choosing a font that suits your project's style. Once you have your text, it's time to select an image that will serve as the visual fill for your text. Whether it's a family photo, a nature snapshot, or a pattern you love, the choice is entirely up to you.

Step 2: Insert and resize the image Next, insert the chosen image into your Design Space canvas. Adjust its size and position to fit within the text appropriately. Play around with different scaling options until you find the perfect balance between the image and the letters.

Step 3: Layering and slicing To bring your text to life, it's crucial to overlay the image on top of it. Select both the text and the image and use the "Slice" tool in Design Space to create cut lines where the two elements intersect. This process will remove the excess parts of the image, leaving only the portions contained within the text.

Step 4: Finishing touches At this point, you can now separate the sliced elements from the original layers and arrange them as desired. Adjust their positioning, change colors, or add further embellishments to truly personalize your project. Once you're satisfied with the final composition, it's time to bring your creation to life using your Cricut machine.
