CCR was built using Adobe Flash which Adobe no longer supports.<br />
<br />
That means if you have a Cricut Personal, Cricut Create/Cake, Expression/Cake, Imagine, E2 or Cricut Mini they will no longer be able to be used online with Cricut software.<br />
<br />
All of the above, with the exception of the Cricut Mini, can be used as a standalone machine using the physical cartridges.<br />
<br />
Cricut are offering legacy machine owners who have not yet upgraded to an Explore $75 off an Explore or Explore bundle from Cricut.com.<br />
<br />
To qualify you must be an active Cricut Craft Room user and you must have created your Cricut Craft Room account before April 28. If you did qualify you should have received an email from Cricut.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
There is a lot more information available here: <a href="http://inspiration.cricut.com/cricut-craft-room-closing/">http://inspiration.cricut.com/cricut-craft-room-closing/</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For those who own the Personal, Create or Expression (plus the Cake versions) and own Sure Cuts a Lot V2, you will still be able to use your machines with that software. The same applies to the older version of Make the Cut.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sure Cuts a Lot 4 or Make the Cut V4 does not work with any of the Cricuts.</div>

A lot of people, like me, don't like the little cuts on the box images that show where to score them. With Design Studio and a Gypsy, you can use the Hide contour feature to remove those lines. But, since the score lines aren't really part of the design, CCR doesn't "see" them to allow you to hide them. You can get rid of them though, if you weld a shape to the image.<br />
<br />
I have a little photo tutorial over on <a href="http://scrapalette.blogspot.com/p/cricut-craft-room-help.html">Around the Block with scrapalette</a> on my CCR Help page.<br />

<br />
Let's say my mat looks like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4u_RD2c9vI__XEy48i83hxCje-LUROyf94HPTBhCaFb85NjDotSbNwtzO5p32612UL64bl884mC4tRYyBWWlPjOxcppFHhvh94Aal3pcsoqU1gE2J6gvSCqka5dyAXfeCfy-tLj8PyNYH/s1600/Cutting+tip+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4u_RD2c9vI__XEy48i83hxCje-LUROyf94HPTBhCaFb85NjDotSbNwtzO5p32612UL64bl884mC4tRYyBWWlPjOxcppFHhvh94Aal3pcsoqU1gE2J6gvSCqka5dyAXfeCfy-tLj8PyNYH/s400/Cutting+tip+1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
There's shapes and text from several carts on the mat. But say I only want to cut "celebrate" and one of the hearts....<br />
<br />
... I could create another mat layer in my project and cut and paste the other images to the new mat.<br />
<br />
... Or I could select the ones I don't want to cut and delete them.<br />
<br />
<b>Or..... what I do is move the images I don't want to cut away from the cutting area of the mat.</b><br />
<br />
You may know by now that any images that go outside the yellow border around the mat won't cut. While that's annoying when I want to cut a large image in sections I can at least use that to my advantage.<br />
<br />
Click the Zoom Out button on the toolbar so that you can see the white area to the right of the mat.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgorRbCxHiB31zug1R0eVwc88Kiwd8s7rB9b0i5yPpnSPP1wygG_UuIPm1YUVgO9-UdQdqOUD6rPbus_h0h4BsIvuch4QMrswp8Opy2213yfvoPS9RB2LxnzW5j_Hgl4yCZ-5tY6ITUrWke/s1600/Cutting+tip+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgorRbCxHiB31zug1R0eVwc88Kiwd8s7rB9b0i5yPpnSPP1wygG_UuIPm1YUVgO9-UdQdqOUD6rPbus_h0h4BsIvuch4QMrswp8Opy2213yfvoPS9RB2LxnzW5j_Hgl4yCZ-5tY6ITUrWke/s1600/Cutting+tip+2.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGls5TVs_gcsQkiwsOw1OJyQVUuIKw_Cp0nCE8ysgd0dyufQDFX1-5h1S-a3hFxY2daFSsvUndT6YtzSdtG92gAx5TE0mTBmx3_DOavF0_BGBU0pigCx6k5C3jD-w4_MkRA6kGb7P9d1ht/s1600/Cutting+tip+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGls5TVs_gcsQkiwsOw1OJyQVUuIKw_Cp0nCE8ysgd0dyufQDFX1-5h1S-a3hFxY2daFSsvUndT6YtzSdtG92gAx5TE0mTBmx3_DOavF0_BGBU0pigCx6k5C3jD-w4_MkRA6kGb7P9d1ht/s400/Cutting+tip+3.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Now drag the images that you don't want to cut over to the white area beside the mat. Move your other images to where you want them to cut. (You don't even have to move them right off the mat. If even part of the image goes over the yellow line it won't cut.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggUyTMvp8ACBv5sTJpjVVUSVteamP_rexdGBinON8iQTngAZTvES9PX5jjjslGh-ROUxvGrPMe4_KcVUTz_LU6ulwsqXknv_E0U5IGiei8-LrKJ_bOXWq9lqHL19Kdd7PSz95m2fFlRAwK/s1600/Cutting+tip+4+.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggUyTMvp8ACBv5sTJpjVVUSVteamP_rexdGBinON8iQTngAZTvES9PX5jjjslGh-ROUxvGrPMe4_KcVUTz_LU6ulwsqXknv_E0U5IGiei8-LrKJ_bOXWq9lqHL19Kdd7PSz95m2fFlRAwK/s400/Cutting+tip+4+.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Click Cut/Go to send your project to the Cricut.<br />
<br />
After it has cut the two shapes that are on the mat you will see this message:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW7Tk9WFQZomTKClTutbGUlSIwxiKbatPw520V6v-YCLp4QrnMkszA0qTrOjGVcMyk54Q9xCABEgXAMWw0Ct3FC3dgDpxzz2v4umneV75xukxVXNvEMOcyFvaED7992wuw5VuLmbTJ8G4m/s1600/Cutting+tip+7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW7Tk9WFQZomTKClTutbGUlSIwxiKbatPw520V6v-YCLp4QrnMkszA0qTrOjGVcMyk54Q9xCABEgXAMWw0Ct3FC3dgDpxzz2v4umneV75xukxVXNvEMOcyFvaED7992wuw5VuLmbTJ8G4m/s1600/Cutting+tip+7.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Press the OK button to return to the cutting screen then press Done. Easy right???? <br />
<br />
If you want to cut some of the other shapes, just move them back onto the mat and move the others off if necessary. Then cut your project again.<br />
<br />
There's no problem saving your project with the images off the mat. Just remember next time you open it your mat will probably be zoomed in and you may not see those images until you zoom out again.<br />

You just need to follow a few simple steps....<br />
<br />
The most important thing to remember is that you must have Relative size selected. Otherwise each layer will be exactly the size that you have set as the Default Height. Using Relative size means that each of t-he layers of the image will be cut in proportion to the main image. (In this case the main image is the one on the Basic tab.)<br />
<br />
You will find the Relative size button below the CCR keypad. If the button is green, it is active.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjigf3hKWs3cLp9g5Xv55cXNjN1twGCUW1czqbaSl1Jj8ECo0oLq9cd1JeC30z-E4mhCzQwJvCfh-37gSRTZgCt1lUM9NnuyJG-rL7ZZ3grsW7XIuxPL0YE6NZ7AeNbf1hAbtvgFJ7V9GHy/s1600/Relative+size+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjigf3hKWs3cLp9g5Xv55cXNjN1twGCUW1czqbaSl1Jj8ECo0oLq9cd1JeC30z-E4mhCzQwJvCfh-37gSRTZgCt1lUM9NnuyJG-rL7ZZ3grsW7XIuxPL0YE6NZ7AeNbf1hAbtvgFJ7V9GHy/s1600/Relative+size+1.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
You also need to remember not to resize individual layers. You should select all the layers on your mat and resize them at the same time. More on that later!<br />
<br />
Here's an example using the Raccoon from Create A Critter.<br />
<br />
The picture below shows you the page from the handbook that has the raccoon on it.<br />
<br />
In this cartridge each of the layers is on its own tab.<br />
<br />
<i>Some cartridges though will have some of the layers on the <Shift> of the image keys</i>.<br />
<br />
I have circled the images that I will be using. Note that each layer is on the <Non Shift> keys.<br />
I'll be using the Base (Basic) layer, Layer 1, Layer 2 and Layer 3. I'll also use the Shadow layer. And because I have <b>no </b>idea what colour a Raccoon is supposed to be I'll use the colours that are in the handbook! There's no Raccoons where I come from!!! :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVKiiClXp1gZkAYjArKNwpQWNruv_bE9Px91fTQ6sZGkq6KB35kznDF-FIcyqMaoTW_ji8T0FVZJTd6bkQ_IajtJLgJjoOomX6VkU2dKlvnkGAu3RdlwZVobMNGexbqwm7ULbrQ-T8DhOF/s1600/CAC+Racoon2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVKiiClXp1gZkAYjArKNwpQWNruv_bE9Px91fTQ6sZGkq6KB35kznDF-FIcyqMaoTW_ji8T0FVZJTd6bkQ_IajtJLgJjoOomX6VkU2dKlvnkGAu3RdlwZVobMNGexbqwm7ULbrQ-T8DhOF/s400/CAC+Racoon2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Now let's take a look at the CCR keypad for Create A Critter with the Raccoon circled. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
You'll see the layer tabs above the image keys.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitjhCSkx2xdKqZmPqLj1R13J-Qp3rLcCFgWwcRB79rHBEk5CwcXaBN8b5kLaNqLs4EMKoeULgYDtujA6_hVbrTdvvul_7ROh7kCteDn1mtQzftbCAC0T7SsNX06QYhtX9IWpFZGPk5MZ3n/s1600/CAC+keypad+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitjhCSkx2xdKqZmPqLj1R13J-Qp3rLcCFgWwcRB79rHBEk5CwcXaBN8b5kLaNqLs4EMKoeULgYDtujA6_hVbrTdvvul_7ROh7kCteDn1mtQzftbCAC0T7SsNX06QYhtX9IWpFZGPk5MZ3n/s400/CAC+keypad+1.JPG" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Don't forget you can zoom the keypad icons in and out by clicking on the - and + icons below the keypad. This makes it much easier to find the shape you are looking for. You should also see the name of the shape appear as you hover over the keys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I want my finished shaped to be 2.5" in height. So I set that size in the Default Height box below the keypad. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG79i9qKsmXeonw5i6CsIxBpjicN0wT0qeh9qqVDJWAouUDBMBHpapySCyr9nOxWebqI3pi166pw0gzJzWhzvIt7ngA8tCRxpW50Gq9F4g_65HMMH_RXQ_4OmuGJJnEUDwV-8HNWjpkRHY/s1600/CAC+keypad+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG79i9qKsmXeonw5i6CsIxBpjicN0wT0qeh9qqVDJWAouUDBMBHpapySCyr9nOxWebqI3pi166pw0gzJzWhzvIt7ngA8tCRxpW50Gq9F4g_65HMMH_RXQ_4OmuGJJnEUDwV-8HNWjpkRHY/s400/CAC+keypad+4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Now I'll start adding the layers to my mat. Here is where you have a couple of options. You can place all the different layers on one mat (spreading them out over the mat so you can position the different colours of cardstock needed) and cut everything at the same time.<br />
<br />
Or you can create a new mat for each layer and send each layer to the Cricut one at a time. For this example I'm going to use a different mat for each layer.<br />
<br />
I'm going to add the Shadow layer to the mat first because that will be the bottom layer. Each time you add a new mat it will automatically be added on top of the previous mat. (That is until you start moving your mats around.... then things get a bit messier.)<br />
<ul>
<li>Click on the Shadow tab, then click on the Raccoon key. </li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikaU5QAWoYoUJ5Hs3ilsLMrEM3jG-tE5isIBKKYyBv9atu2ZT45pmBZx7YInIDjoj2a1d79iNzh34bCKrVeSLFU1gLLxfJZi1ol2h6SU6bLIOMQzYGce0kViClkiUP6KlqYKxelX26NrzH/s1600/Shadow.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="45" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikaU5QAWoYoUJ5Hs3ilsLMrEM3jG-tE5isIBKKYyBv9atu2ZT45pmBZx7YInIDjoj2a1d79iNzh34bCKrVeSLFU1gLLxfJZi1ol2h6SU6bLIOMQzYGce0kViClkiUP6KlqYKxelX26NrzH/s400/Shadow.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Because this is a new file the shape will automatically be placed in the top left corner of the mat. (No need to drag it there...)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhLeWGfHn9Sec9XsZrb1LV2Vk_Y05PgG5NTPZMWq__KXFNVZXdn2etPkYwVviQjZN8yqZGEnAd2z-ROzaP0cG6UMQL6u4WqOoHKW4SNryBBYj1odC0bAbAqeg4K76dXmA6Menbzf8Ez8h3/s1600/CAC+Racoon4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhLeWGfHn9Sec9XsZrb1LV2Vk_Y05PgG5NTPZMWq__KXFNVZXdn2etPkYwVviQjZN8yqZGEnAd2z-ROzaP0cG6UMQL6u4WqOoHKW4SNryBBYj1odC0bAbAqeg4K76dXmA6Menbzf8Ez8h3/s400/CAC+Racoon4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I'm going to change the preview colour of this layer to black.<br />
<br />
<i>Remember... changing the Preview colour is different to using the Auto-fill feature. The preview colours don't print and are merely here as an aid to see what your finished project will look like. It's a great feature because you can play with different colours on the screen instead of wasting your precious card stock!</i><br />
<ul>
<li>Click on the red dot on the layer tab.</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<ul>
<li>Drag the arrow on the slider down to the bottom to change the colour to black. (That's the quickest way to get black.) </li>
</ul>
Or you can type 0, 0, 0 in the RGB boxes<br />
<ul>
<li>Press the Apply button and the preview will now appear in black</li>

<br />
Using the same method as above I'll add the two remaining layers each on their own mat.<br />
<br />
The Layer 2 image is a dark purple and the Layer 3 image is a pale purple.<br />
<br />
Once that's done your screen should look something like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAjSOkLIddeaOO1vCiU4JNZLB-h0ar16sN8MIQJSOPWdTeWDmMmQyLqd85ADcnN5Q5DsiDXWdKNXU6MLPf4AfRJw0fquzbGm4QV_n_uoZTG7tEkkT1afBJ_MssoNAfFSFwgKOAagXQ-2h3/s1600/All+layers+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAjSOkLIddeaOO1vCiU4JNZLB-h0ar16sN8MIQJSOPWdTeWDmMmQyLqd85ADcnN5Q5DsiDXWdKNXU6MLPf4AfRJw0fquzbGm4QV_n_uoZTG7tEkkT1afBJ_MssoNAfFSFwgKOAagXQ-2h3/s400/All+layers+1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
You can move the shapes on each mat on top of each to see what the final image will look like when it's cut out and put together.<br />
<br />
Click on the brown layer and slide it over the black layer and align it. Repeat for the other layers until you get something like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFKBPOYMI5C9Mmb21D40WmQVcAgG71XbvvEuHM1326cOc1Z9bYmbG_2wRrRDWPShMXDADGZ78PQc1DNi1D7B68QdpJbxv5LVtEQTu-RtRl9C66XS6tuXCco4OdoEYDvDl-W3ZSa-3dippE/s1600/Fnished.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFKBPOYMI5C9Mmb21D40WmQVcAgG71XbvvEuHM1326cOc1Z9bYmbG_2wRrRDWPShMXDADGZ78PQc1DNi1D7B68QdpJbxv5LVtEQTu-RtRl9C66XS6tuXCco4OdoEYDvDl-W3ZSa-3dippE/s1600/Fnished.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
When you're ready to cut the project you can either move the shapes to different areas of the mat and cut each layer in turn. Or you can copy and paste everything to one layer, load up your mat with each of the colours and cut it all at once.<br />
<br />
If you decide you want to resize your images make sure you select all the layers first. To do that select Ctrl A (Cmd A for the Mac) or select Edit, Select All. Then use the bottom right handle on the images to resize all the layers together. That way they'll all stay in proportion.<br />
<br />
(If you have pressed the eye button (hide/show mat) on any of the mats, the image/s on that mat won't be selected. Press the eye button again to view those mats again. Then Select All.)<br />
<br />
I hope that helps you with your layering!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">There are many different menu options in the CCR Cartridge filter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">So what are they all? Some are fairly self explanatory (eg Cricut Lite) but here's what you'll find in each of those categories.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>My Cartridges:</b> The My cartridges library will contain any cartridges that you have physically linked to your Cricut account using CCR, any digital cartridges you have purchased from Cricut.com and the "Cut it for free" cartridges that Cricut.com release weekly. Those free cartridges change each week. When the new free cartridges is added, the old one is generally removed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Now that the Gypsy Link process has been released the cartridges that are linked to your Gypsy will also appear in the My Cartridges library. You will first need to run the Link Gypsy program from the Options menu in CCR.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>All Cartridges:</b> Every available cartridge including the Digital cartridges are found in this library. If you don't see any of the Imagine cartridges check the "Show Cricut Imagine cartridges" below the Cartridge filter list.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Cricut Craft Room Exclusives: </b>This will contain all the CCR exclusive Digital cartridges. <u>Digital versions of the regular cart</u><u>ridges won't be found here</u>. They will be found in All Cartridges. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Most of the cartridges in this library can also be linked to your Gypsy. However there are some exceptions eg. the single images. Update your Gypsy and check the All Cartridges library. If a cartridge doesn't appear in the All Cartridges library then it can't be linked to the Gypsy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Cricut Cake</b>: This library contains the Martha Stewart Cake cartridges and the Cricut Cake cartridges.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Cricut Events</b>: This library contains any cartridge that has been branded an Event cartridge. Eg. Baby Shower and Bridal Shower. Look for the Events label on the cartridge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Cricut Everyday</b>: This library contains the majority of the Cricut cartriges. Anything that doesn't fit into any of the other categories will be found here.</span><br />

<br />
<a href="http://pinterest.com/narelle_d/"><img alt="Follow Me on Pinterest" height="16" src="http://passets-ec.pinterest.com/images/about/buttons/small-p-button.png" width="16" /></a><br />
<br />
Keep in mind the following:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Once you have linked a cart to your account you can't unlink it.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>You can only link your carts to <u>one</u> CCR account.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>You <u><b>don't</b></u> have to link your carts to cut from CCR. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strike>Carts that you have already linked to your Gypsy cannot be linked to CCR <u>yet</u>. That option is still to come. PC are working on a way for us to connect our Gypsy to our computer and have our carts automatically linked to both.</strike> Gypsy linking is now available! Go here for details: <a href="http://www.cricut.com/home/support/gypsy-linking/">http://www.cricut.com/home/support/gypsy-linking/</a></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Your carts <b><u>don't</u></b> have to be registered to enable you to link them.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Your carts <b><u>don't</u></b> have to be bookmarked for you to link them.<br />
</li>
<li>If you purchase a Digital cartridge from Cricut.com it will automatically be linked to your account. </li>
</ul>
<ul></ul>
<ul>
<li>If you're using the Imagine or the E2 (and I presume the Mini) make sure it is up to date by connecting it to your computer, powering it on and opening Cricut Sync. I had trouble linking a cart using my E2. Once I updated it through Cricut Sync I was able to link the cart. (It did still take a few "Try Again's" and removing and inserting the cart but it eventually linked. (Make sure you cancel right out of the cut so you are back at the mat screen then try linking again.) </li>
</ul>
The same thing happened when I was linking a cart using my Expression, but<br />
<div>
again by cancelling right out of the cut and trying again it linked. The firmware</div>
<div>
version on my Expression s 2.43 and it cuts with CCR. (PC removed the</div>
<div>
requirement to have the later version of the firmware on the Expression a </div>
<div>
few updates ago.)<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>If you see this message when you are linking a cart, it means it has already been linked to a Gypsy and can't be linked to CCR yet, or it has been linked to another CCR account.</li>
</ul>

Well here's how you do it.<br />
<br />
Download a PDF of this tutorial from here: <a href="https://www.box.com/s/z77t7d08meyhsiu77m24">https://www.box.com/s/z77t7d08meyhsiu77m24</a><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Place your image on the mat</li>
</ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Updated%20blog%20posts/Copytonewlayer_zps48b1bd88.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Updated%20blog%20posts/Copytonewlayer_zps48b1bd88.jpg" width="165" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Click the + button next to the Layer 1 tab. </li>
</ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Updated%20blog%20posts/Matlayer3_zps3223942a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Updated%20blog%20posts/Matlayer3_zps3223942a.jpg" width="125" /></a></div><br />
A new layer (Layer2) will be added to your project.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Updated%20blog%20posts/Matlayer4_zpsfd1aa307.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Updated%20blog%20posts/Matlayer4_zpsfd1aa307.jpg" width="283" /></a></div><br />
<ul><li>Click on your first image to make sure it's selected then press the Copy button on the toolbar</li>
</ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Updated%20blog%20posts/Matlayer5_zpscd1e567d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="161" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Updated%20blog%20posts/Matlayer5_zpscd1e567d.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The image will be copied to the clipboard.<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Click on the tab for Layer2 to make it active. (It will turn light grey.)</li>
<li>From the toolbar click the Paste button </li>
</ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Updated%20blog%20posts/MatLayer6_zps68b19305.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="75" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Updated%20blog%20posts/MatLayer6_zps68b19305.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The image will be pasted to Layer 2.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Updated%20blog%20posts/Matlayer7_zps096860cc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Updated%20blog%20posts/Matlayer7_zps096860cc.jpg" width="278" /></a></div><br />
You can see that it worked because the pasted object is a different colour to the original and matches the coloured dot beside the layer name.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>If you want to move your image from one layer to another instead of copying it, you can follow the instructions above and simply press the Cut button at instead of the Copy button.<br />
<br />
Or.... <br />
<br />
You can follow the instructions above (Copy and Paste) then just go back and delete the image from the first layer after you have pasted it to the second layer.<br />
<br />
<b>Copying multiple images</b> <br />
You can use the same process to copy multiple objects. Just select them all before you click the Copy button. (There's no need to group them.) This even works for images that are on different mats! <br />
<br />
<b>Having problems getting it to work? Keep the following in mind....</b><br />
<ul><li>Before you select the Paste button ensure that the correct layer tab is active (light grey)</li>
</ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div></div><ul><li>Make sure the layer you are pasting to is visible. The eye next to your layer name should be green. (Like the picture above). If the eye is grey your layer is hidden and you won't see your pasted object. Click the eye to make the layer visible. Once you make the layer visible the pasted image should appear.<br />
</li>
</ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

Updated January 2013<br />
<br />
So you've installed CCR and are ready to go!<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>(If you want to learn about the different parts of the screen click on the Nitty Gritty tab above.)<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>First you'll learn how to add objects to the CCR mat.</div><div><br />
When you open CCR it defaults to the My Cartridges library and the Cricut Craft Room Basics cartridge.<br />
<br />
The My Cartridges library will show Cricut Craft Room Basics, any cartridges you have physically linked to your acount using CCR, and any free cartridges that cricut.com have given you access to.<br />
<br />
Currently they give us access to a different free cartridge every week. You can cut from that cartridge as much as you want for that week. Once the week is up the cartridge is removed from My Cartridges and is replaced with the next free cartridge.<br />
<br />
If you want to cut a project that you created with the previous free cartridge you will have to purchase it from the cricut.com store.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div><br />

The Image Quantity feature is the quickest way to create multiples of the same object . <br />
<br />
Place your first object on the mat and make any necessary changes (scale, rotate, slant or hide contour). All changes will be applied to the copied objects. <br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span>Set the size of your cardstock using the Auto Fill Width and Height input boxes. If you want to fill the whole mat then leave the settings at 12" x 12".<br />
<br />
If you're using a smaller piece of cardstock then put its measurements in the boxes. Below I am using an 8.5" x 11" sheet of cardstock so I place those figures in the box.<br />
<br />
(For some reason CCR automatically changed the figures to 8.55 x 11.05.) <br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Text Menu</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
There are two ways to insert text in CCR. You can select a cartridge from the cartridge library then drag your letters directly from the overlay to the mat (you can't use your keypad to type your word like you can in Design Studio) or the better way is to use a Text Box.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDZn4C-grBZ4LNQ4SJ52_YsVOqIuRHAi6hU-FIgWDyPT0wFCh6osxoFxTbKud_LVLym1paWzGMHm91wMtYEQaJdanunDZ1N2Kgqqf_yPgQcLUHeg91Uhyvmmahbi778de1a5gW3aDkJiEV/s1600/Text1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDZn4C-grBZ4LNQ4SJ52_YsVOqIuRHAi6hU-FIgWDyPT0wFCh6osxoFxTbKud_LVLym1paWzGMHm91wMtYEQaJdanunDZ1N2Kgqqf_yPgQcLUHeg91Uhyvmmahbi778de1a5gW3aDkJiEV/s320/Text1.JPG" width="177" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
Click the green "Add New Text Box" button. (You can also click the Text button from the toolbar or the Add Text button on the keypad. That button will only show if you have selected a cartridge that has a font on it and one of the font tabs has been selected.)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
You can move this box to another position on the mat by left clicking anywhere on the grey area around the input box and dragging it to where you want it. The text you type in the box will appear under the text field box.<br />
<br />
<br />
Use your keypad to type your text into the text field box. For some fonts you will use the shift key on your keypad to use Upper case. Other fonts will have the Lower case and Upper case as a different creative feature. <br />
<br />
Below the 3 Birds on Parade has been selected.<br />

Your text will now have handles around it and will have an Edit Text button in the bottom left corner.<br />
<br />
<i>Your text will also be grouped, meaning that if you click anywhere on that word the whole word will be selected. Grouping is different to Welding though. If you cut the word as it appears now each letter will still be cut separately and not joined to the next letter.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
Pressing the Edit Text button reopens the text field box so you can change what you have typed.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
You can change which cartridge you have used at any time by selecting your text so the handles are showing and choosing another cart from the drop down list.<br />
<br />
<br />
All the options on the toolbar are available to your text. For example you can ungroup your text and move/resize/rotate/slant etc individual letters from the group.<br />
<br />
Be aware that once you ungroup/regroup your text the Edit Text button will no longer be available and will be replaced with an Edit Group button. <b>If you want to change the font used or its creative feature you will need to recreate your text box.</b><br />
<br />

<br />
The drop down Creative Feature menu is used in the same way that the Creative Feature buttons are used on the keypad overlays with one difference.<br />
<br />
Selecting a different feature key changes your text instantly. You don't have to select the feature before you type the text (as you do in Design Studio or on the Cricut itself.)<br />

There are three other options in the Fonts menu - Font Size, Letter Spacing and slant.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Change the size of the text in your text box by pressing the up or down arrows. You can also type the size you want in the box (eg. 2.25) then press Enter or press anywhere on the grey background.<br />
<br />
<br />
Change the space between your letters (kerning) by clicking on the up or down arrows or typing a number in the box. Letter spacing is mainly used for <b>welding</b> although it is also a great way to conserve your paper by moving your letters closer together. <i> More on Letter Spacing below</i>. <br />
<br />
<br />
Change the slant of your word by clicking on the up or down arrows or by typing a number in the box. The first box is used for horizontal slant and the second for vertical slant.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Letter Spacing:</b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
You have two options for your letter spacing - Character Space and Block.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Character space</i> spaces the letters proportionally and works best if you are going to be welding your letters.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's an example of a word using Character spacing both unwelded and welded. (Notice how in the unwelded version the "t" is over the "r" and the "y".)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY1nj1y1sYP1KrXYPWYpclZ3zug2Km3UNulCNmDNc1Z5Q-aIAWQt3oQzxaxlzrVrPuf5uk1BdIdZIChERJmsnSlaO1hKa332nMe6J7cYzS5g6LA-TGoPX4XMBJ9VYVhNmOn-8sYXVEw0yp/s1600/Spacing+3.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY1nj1y1sYP1KrXYPWYpclZ3zug2Km3UNulCNmDNc1Z5Q-aIAWQt3oQzxaxlzrVrPuf5uk1BdIdZIChERJmsnSlaO1hKa332nMe6J7cYzS5g6LA-TGoPX4XMBJ9VYVhNmOn-8sYXVEw0yp/s400/Spacing+3.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<i>Block </i>spaces each letter by the exact same amount regardless of how wide the letter is.<br />
<br />
<br />
(Imagine the same size rectangle being placed between the letters.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKblds3-UZsihE1E1Hh-zyJO04o1CnqS9M0VFpPOcuPGeAbswvVLufPy8gJr4gpW_91_LUjja0O14-eM4J902XO255GLRa4imLNIs1bbbX1sfSrownGOQdwr6mVfIEfN87m8oQ0dNL-hUx/s1600/Spacing+4.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKblds3-UZsihE1E1Hh-zyJO04o1CnqS9M0VFpPOcuPGeAbswvVLufPy8gJr4gpW_91_LUjja0O14-eM4J902XO255GLRa4imLNIs1bbbX1sfSrownGOQdwr6mVfIEfN87m8oQ0dNL-hUx/s320/Spacing+4.JPG" /></a></div><br />
When you change the spacing when block is selected the welded word doesn't look as neat. I had to make the spacing much smaller to get the "t" to move over to the "r" which in turn pushed the "a" and the "r" too far over.<br />

If you have an Imagine then this section is for you!<br />
<br />
<br />
Using the Colors and Patterns menu you can fill objects from any cartridge with a color or a pattern and print and cut them on your Imagine.<br />
<br />
<br />
The first thing you need to do to use the Colors and Patterns feature is change your default machine to the Imagine.<br />
<br />
Click on the Machine & Mat Menu (right below the Colors & Patterns menu.)<br />

Now it's time to fill some shapes! First we'll use some shapes from a Non-Imagine cartridge.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Note: Welding images together that you have filled with a colour or pattern will cause them all to take on the same colour/pattern. At the moment there is no way around this.</b></i><br />

Rather than place different colours of cardstock on the mat I'll colour each layer of the image using the Colors & Patterns list and print and cut them on the Imagine.<br />

You can select a colour from any of the Imagine carts - even if you don't own it. CCR will calculate the RGB value for the colour you have selected and print it out. You won't be prompted to insert the cart that you don't own.... <b>unless you are also trying to cut from that cart</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
To use a different colour to those shown in the Color palette, click on the arrow beneath the palette.<br />

<br />
...or you can click anywhere on the wheel to select your colour. Use the slider to change from light to dark.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you know the RGB colour value you can enter those details in their correct boxes. Search the internet for RGB codes for all your favourite cardstock or character colours.<br />
<br />
<br />
Type the RGB values in their correct box (using the tab key doesn't appear to work here) and press the Apply button. (<b>Don't forget to write down the RGB code before you press Apply as CCR doesn't save it for you</b>.) <br />

Now your images are ready to send to the Imagine for printing and cutting.<br />
<br />
Filling images with a pattern is very similar, but you have a couple of extra options.<br />

Place an image on the mat then select the Imagine cartridge you want to use from the Pattern Gallery drop down menu.<br />
<br />
Click on the pattern you want to use and after a brief pause (you'll see the little clock appear on screen) your image will be filled with that pattern.<br />
<br />

You can now Flip the pattern horizontally and/or vertically by clicking on those button in the Colors & Patterns menu. <i> </i><br />
<br />
<b><i>Note, this does not flip the object, but the pattern inside the object.</i></b><br />
<br />
You can also increase or decrease the size of the pattern by clicking on the Scale Pattern + or - button.<br />
<br />

And lastly, you can move the pattern around inside of the object by clicking on the green position arrows . This is useful if there is a certain part of the pattern you want to feature.<br />

<b>Next we'll look at using Colors and Patterns with Imagine images.</b><br />
<br />
Place an image from an Imagine cart on your CCR mat.<br />
<br />

If you select the image and fill it with a pattern (or color) from the Colors & Patterns Gallery this is what happens. The whole image is filled with that pattern.<br />
<br />

There's a couple of steps you need to do to fill the different parts of the image.<br />
<br />
In this image I want to change the colour of the babushka's scarf.<br />
<br />

Its performance to some degree will rely on the speed of your computer and of your internet connection.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #4f372f;">There are two versions of CCR. The "Web" version and the "Desktop" version. Don't be fooled by the names though. You need to be online to use both versions.<br />
<br />
The Web version is a design only version. You can create and save your projects from any computer that meets the system requirements. Any files you create will be available for you to cut when you sign in to the Desktop version.<br />
<br />
The Web version can be accessed from here: http://craftroom.cricut.com/<br />
<br />
The Desktop version allows you to design and cut your projects. You will access this version from an icon on your desktop. <br />
<br />
Your cricut.com email address allows you to sign in to the Desktop version on two computers. These designated computers can be changed every six months by contacting Provocraft customer service.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f372f; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;"><br />

Hi everyone.<br />
<br />
There's been a lot of changes to CCR since I started this blog. And that means that many of the tutorials are now out of date. Starting today I'll be updating the old tutorials with any new information/screenshots. Once I've finished one I'll repost it. So don't get confused if you see "new posts" that you've actually already seen!<br />
<br />
The first one "Downloading and Installing CCR" will be up shortly.<br />
<br />
If I find any that need to be done urgently (because the old information is confusing people) I'll do those first!<br />

Hello to all my lovely readers! I'm finally back with a tutorial for you. I have been so totally slack the last couple of months and have neglected this blog (and my Cricut Lovers Guide to Design Studio blog) for too long! <br />
<br />
Anyway, on to the tutorial.... (don't run away just because I'm talking about the Imagine. There's something here for everyone no matter which Cricut they have!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/CCR%20Blog/7054e348.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="80" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/CCR%20Blog/7054e348.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
You may have seen that there are now single images available to purchase for use in CCR. There's lots to choose from. Some of them however, have been layered ready for printing and cutting as one image on the Imagine.<br />
<br />
So far you'll find Imagine ready images from Cindy Loo, Create A Critter and the mascots from Team Spirit. There's lots of other single images available on CCR now, but most of them haven't had the layering done to automatically print and cut on the Imagine.<br />
<br />
To tell if an image is "Imagine Ready" look at the CCR keypad. If the image preview appears in colour then it can be printed and cut on the Imagine. You'll notice it also has a tab titled Layered Images. That's a pretty big clue too! :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/CutCAConPersonal4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/CutCAConPersonal4.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
If the preview appears in black and white then it won't be ready to print on the Imagine until you fill it with a colour or pattern from one of the Imagine carts.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/CutCAConPersonal5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/CutCAConPersonal5.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So what do you need to do to print and cut the coloured single images? If you have an Imagine, simply place the image on your CCR mat, resize it if necessary and send it off to your Imagine. It will be printed and cut as one image. (Meaning that the layers won't be separated into separate objects.)<br />
<br />
<b>But what if you want to have some dimension for your image and cut each layer separately? No problem!</b> Let's use Create A Critter -50 as an example.....<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>First up, to cut that image you will need to purchase it from Cricut.com. Click on the Buy button below the image.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/CutCAConPersonal6-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/CutCAConPersonal6-1.jpg" width="233" /></a></div>
<br />
You will be taken to the Cricut.com shopping site where you can purchase that image (and any others you want to purchase.)<br />
<ul>
<li>Once your purchase is complete come back to CCR and log out. When you log back in the images you purchased will now appear in bold in the list of cartridges. They will also be added to your My Cartridges library.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Select the image from the library and either single click to add it to the mat, or drag it from the keypad to your mat. The first picture below is what the image will look like if the Imagine is selected as the Default Machine in the Machine & Mat menu.<br />
<br />
The second picture is how the image will look if any other Cricut is selected as the default machine. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Reindeer2_zpsc8195c81.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="175" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Reindeer2_zpsc8195c81.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
</li>
</ul>
The next step is to separate the layers on the image.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>With the image on your mat selected, press the Edit Group Button.</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/CutCAConPersonal8_zps77a68b66.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/CutCAConPersonal8_zps77a68b66.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
In the top right corner you will see the Combine/Separate boxes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/CutCAConPersonal9_zps93f9dc7e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/CutCAConPersonal9_zps93f9dc7e.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li> Click the brown Separate button</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Cut%20single%20images/10_zps0aa2c19e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="185" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Cut%20single%20images/10_zps0aa2c19e.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The layers will be separated.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Press the Exit button to return back to the main CCR screen.</li>
</ul>
I have found that once the layers are separated they seem to be slightly squashed together but they cut out just fine.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Cut%20single%20images/11_zps2f2f3660.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="194" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Cut%20single%20images/11_zps2f2f3660.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
The images are now ready for you to send to your Imagine to be printed and cut as individual objects.<br />
<br />
<br />
Be aware that each of the layers will have a light brown border around them as in the top row of images in the picture below.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Cut%20single%20images/P1160112_zps61f68dc2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20ASUS-PC/Cut%20single%20images/P1160112_zps61f68dc2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
If you don't want the border to print...<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Select the object on the mat and click the Ungroup button on the Toolbar.</li>
</ul>
<br />
When you cut them out they will look like the bottom row of images in the picture above. Notice that the mouth and some of the other feature lines didn't print.<br />
<br />
Something to keep in mind.... For a good result, make sure you calibration is spot on!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/CCR%20Blog/7054e348.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="80" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/nazza63/CCR%20Blog/7054e348.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
But "hang on" you say... "I don't have an Imagine!!!"<br />
<br />
The good news is once you've separated and ungrouped these images you can cut them on all the other Cricuts with just a few more steps.<br />
<br />
<br />
Because these are Imagine images CCR is looking for an Imagine when it goes to cut. When it sees that there's an E2 selected it doesn't cut. (Nothing happens when you click on the Cut button.)<br />
<br />
So you just need to trick it into thinking you <u>have</u> an Imagine....<br />
<ul>
<li>From the Machine & Mat menu select the Cricut that you will actually be cutting from. This makes it easier if you are using the Personal, Create or Mini because you don't have to guess where to place your images.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Separate your layers as shown in the tutorial above and press the Exit button to return to the mat.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><i> </i>Click anywhere on the group of images to select them then press the Ungroup button on the top toolbar.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Click anywhere on the mat to deselect the images. You can now move each separate piece around on the mat.</li>
</ul>
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><i>If you're using just one CCR mat move your images around so that you can easily load your cutting mat with each of the different colour cardstock. </i></span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><i>If you want to cut multiples of each layer you might want to create multiple mats at this stage and cut and paste each layer to its own mat. Then you can use the Autofill option to fill your mat or Image Quantity option to set how many of each shape you want.</i> <i>In the picture below you can see that I have used multiple mats as each layer is a different preview colour.</i></span></b><br />
<i></i><br />

(you'll be stuck on the Initializing screen if you have the problem...)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2HYvEr5cUSKrrzsUeaNeose-RYb-GwR0PbTmyMt3xYagoiviMEWhUX4cgTXU7cB7LYFPuDqOIiZ5ZTQEpK9vUKx8op9NeaO91O7CI8TlI1Rk2idXvgvjDFEq6C4E5p3lTeEpGUxAbCJCK/s1600/Initialising+CCR.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2HYvEr5cUSKrrzsUeaNeose-RYb-GwR0PbTmyMt3xYagoiviMEWhUX4cgTXU7cB7LYFPuDqOIiZ5ZTQEpK9vUKx8op9NeaO91O7CI8TlI1Rk2idXvgvjDFEq6C4E5p3lTeEpGUxAbCJCK/s320/Initialising+CCR.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

While it's true that PC haven't released an update for Windows 8, you can still use it on a computer that has that operating system.<br />
<br />
And it's very simple...<br />
<br />
First make sure you have added CCRBridge.exe and Cricut-Craft Room.exe as exceptions to your anti-virus program as many of these programs are known to block CCR. Then....<br />
<ul><li>Right click on the CCR icon on your desktop, and select Properties</li>
</ul><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbhbaELmKklQ_uI2lOmir9H1ParsPvG9qKxYwc4aKt20umqoyAAvePbdmjSlVgJSS7H6DTa8koqjpGOnRkCAD0pw0XBdPH2eGsrs6dX3fqQznMOmNYw9PVtJphgJDGy6-ycaxnuZtUsjd5/s1600/CCR+Properties.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbhbaELmKklQ_uI2lOmir9H1ParsPvG9qKxYwc4aKt20umqoyAAvePbdmjSlVgJSS7H6DTa8koqjpGOnRkCAD0pw0XBdPH2eGsrs6dX3fqQznMOmNYw9PVtJphgJDGy6-ycaxnuZtUsjd5/s320/CCR+Properties.jpg" width="223" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Click the <b>Compatibility</b> tab</li>
</ul><ul><li>Click the Check box next to "<b>Run the program in compatibility mode for</b>" and Select Windows 7 from the drop down box. (If Windows 7 isn't an option, select the next most recent operating system - eg. Vista</li>
</ul><ul><li>From the "Privilege Level" section click on the check box next to "Run the program as an administrator"</li>
</ul><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZLqcM4t1UgnvcIjwrExwFAZzezfufa1cW_JsYPc_66ib41ckh-XG6haHxyyC697jBvD4RPBhus-7_SxHjG9qo_30Tp3r97nHW4hUayYzqoFSTydwsxu82k7Dw_q4NQxfMSqmd5qyZYpiL/s1600/Compatibility.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZLqcM4t1UgnvcIjwrExwFAZzezfufa1cW_JsYPc_66ib41ckh-XG6haHxyyC697jBvD4RPBhus-7_SxHjG9qo_30Tp3r97nHW4hUayYzqoFSTydwsxu82k7Dw_q4NQxfMSqmd5qyZYpiL/s320/Compatibility.jpg" width="226" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<ul><li>Press Apply then OK to close the Properties box.</li>
</ul>Now try opening CCR again. If you still have the same problem repeat the same process, this time selecting a different operating system. Most users have success with Windows 7 but other have had to use Vista or XP.<br />
<br />
Good luck!<br />
