I have the expression and just got the ink. I am wanting to write something in the middle of a square that I cut out. Can you help me understand how to do this?

Thanks

From an earlier post: I see that you can do an outline but how about creating a colorful disney character or sesame street character? Have you tried a multicolor image?” I would like an answer to this, as well as I have seem images from a link somewhere that the paperdolls had freckles, was this done with the ink cartridges?

I would like to know how to create a verse for greeting cards using the Cricut Expressions and the ink cartridge. I adjusted for the paper size (set paper size), used the Center Point button, then started to write the verse (using Plantin SchoolBook). I had set the size as 1/4″ as well. Cricut Expressions would not let me type in more than the following: “Accpet my greetin” before popping up with the message “too many characters”. I have had my CE for about 2 weeks, and I am enjoying the process. I have found many sites that have been helpful, but have not quite figured out how to get help with this new challenge.

Hi Sally,

Are you unloading the paper and then reloading it? If so, press “Load Last” instead of “Load Paper” when reloading. This will take you back to the point on the paper where you made the last letter.

If you have an eight-way directional blade on your machine, you can also use the blade navigation buttons to get you where you need to be.

Hope this helps!

I am new at all this and could sure use some advice. How do I get the machine to go all across the page so I can write more words on one line. I did it the first time, must have been by mistake cause I can’t do it again. Appreciate any help. Sally

Hi Tiffney,

Thanks for the question! My answer got a little too wordy, so instead of commenting here, I created a new post. Check it out and let me know if it helps…

Help! I have a Cricut Expression, and I know there are tons of projects it can be used for but I don’t know what those projects are. Do you have any suggestions, ideas, websites ANYTHING to shed some light on what all I can use my Cricut for? Thanks!
