When I first started with my Cricut I purchased a lot of SVG's because I didn't know how to make my own designs. I spent a ton of money doing that and most of the time the SVG's weren't exactly what I wanted so it was very frustrating. In this tutorial I'll show you how to make your own designs in Cricut Design space.

Like I mentioned before, I used to pay anywhere from $2.00 to $5.00 for a SVG that I kind of liked but wasn't really in love with because I didn't know how to make my own designs. Now I have a subscription to Creative Fabrica and I get access to 15k+ SVG's and I can download as many as I want FOR FREE. Not only are they free but they include a commercial license so I can legally sell whatever I make with them.
In this tutorial I'm making a 'Welcome Fall' sign and I'm using 1 SVG and a couple fonts I got from Creative Fabrica. Let's get started and I'll show you how to make your own designs in Cricut Design Space. (You can get all the fonts for free too…woo-hoo!)
The Main Design
Pick your main design element. For This project I used apumpkin. I found this set of Fall SVG's and downloaded all of them but I onlyneeded the pumpkin for my project.
The pumpkin needed just a bit of editing for what I wantedto make so I put a circle in the middle and welded the circle to the pumpkin tomake the center solid. Since the word 'FALL' has 4 letters, I duplicated thepumpkin 4 times.
Now it's time to put the letters inside the pumpkins. Ichose the font 'Christmas Story' from Creative Fabrica for my letters. I sized the 'F' in the middle of the pumpkin andthen made each of the other letters the same size.
Once I had all the letters placed where I wanted them I 'Sliced'each letter out of each pumpkin. (Check out the video tutorial below to see howI sliced the letters.) I found some funfall colors and made each pumpkin a different color.
Adding some words

You're well on your way to making your own designs in Cricut Design Space. Now it's time for the 'Welcome' at the top. I went over to Creative Fabrica and used the free font manager (This is totally free. No subscription needed.) to pick the font I wanted for my 'welcome'.
I used the PUA (private use area) to add some extra flare tomy word. Unlocking the PUA for all myfonts is another reason I really love Fontcloud. I can quickly see all the extra ligatures andswashes each font has and I can easily try them out to see what will work bestfor my project. (The video tutorial below shows how this all works.)
