This process will create one cut layer once the file is imported into Cricut Design Space. Sometimes though, for one reason or another, I prefer to use Photoshop. That’s not to say I don’t use Cricut Design Space to create text-based projects.


I can whip up a project quickly and then easily import it into Cricut Design Space. I have been using Photoshop for years, since I learned the program in undergrad. For me the answer is that I am faster and more comfortable in Photoshop. After all, you can create text cut files right in Cricut Design Space. You may be wondering why I even bother using Photoshop. All of the text images for that sign were created in Photoshop and then imported into Cricut Design Space where I cut them out of vinyl or Cricut Stencil Material. I get a lot of questions on how I create the stencils and vinyl images for some of my crafts, especially my Harry Potter directional sign I made last summer. Today I have a bit of a different post for you! I’m sharing a tutorial on how I make text cut files in Photoshop to use with my Cricut Explore cutting machine.
