To begin, I opened my Cricut Design Space, as well as began choosing letters as well as numbers that I wanted to cutting out. I synced all of the items into 2 colours (green as well as yellowish below) as well as then that all the light-green would impress on i colouring textile paper, as well as all the yellowish on another.

I know that my handwriting is non pretty, as well as then I was SUPER excited to using the Cricut pens to write my words immediately into my text boxes. In the screenshot below, yous tin run across all of the dissimilar boxes I chose to cutting out. Then I added the words past times choosing the writing tool, selecting a writing font, as well as typing inwards my text. Once yous type the text, yous convey to brand certain that yous attached the text to the box underneath as well as then that the cricut volition know where yous desire the words written. Then impress them all out!
