Color Wheel Where You Can Upload an Image
How-do-you-do Daydreamers!
In today's tutorial, you lot volition acquire everything there's to know about color in Cricut Design Infinite.
How to add together and alter colors, fill images, and "Colour Sync" are some of the things you lot will exist learning today!
Most things I volition teach you lot today can be done on the Cricut app. Although nearly screenshots are from a desktop, I volition likewise be including the screenshots that will testify you where to find the tools to replicate all of the examples I have on this post.
Ideally, you will read this tutorial from the showtime considering as we go, we volition be implementing the concepts mentioned in the previews steps.
If there are some tools or concepts you don't empathize, make certain to bank check out myCricut Design Space tutorial for Desktop andmy Cricut App tutorial.
Are you ready?
Let'south Daydream Into Reality!
How to Add Colour in Cricut Design Infinite
To understand how to add Color in Cricut Design Infinite, you lot as well need to know how colors are used with your machine.
All of these settings work from the "Functioning" driblet-downwards card located on the top panel of the canvass.
"Functioning" is the manner you tell your machine what action to perform; in that location are three different main operations (Cutting, Draw, Print then Cut), and some of them are divided into boosted options that translate into split tools you can install on your machine to perform an action.
- Cutting a fabric (Bones Cutting and Wavy Cut)
- Cartoon on a material (Pen, Foil, Score, Deboss, Engrave)
- Print then Cutting
Next to "Operation," there's a little colour box that allows y'all to modify colors in Design Space. Some operations will prove a filled color box, others will show a stroke, and other operations volition not allow y'all to change colors.
Depending on the machine yous own, the operations you can perform with your device will vary.
For this tutorial, I will show y'all all the operations from the Maker's point of view.
You can skip over the things that don't apply to you.
SUPER IMPORTANT: Most operations will require you to employ the "Adhere" tool before sending a
project to the "Make it" interface. Attaching will tell your Cricut where to write, score, perforate, foil, etc.
Some operations, like "Bones Cut," "Wavy," and "Impress then Cut," represent an entire material you're working with, like cardstock or iron-on. Other Operations like "Pen" and "Foil" represent a tool y'all will be installing on your machine, and your device will draw a visible design, and at that place are multiple colors you lot can cull from.
Concluding but not to the lowest degree, operations like "Perforate," "Score," "Deboss," and "Engrave." represent an action y'all want to perform on a material, and the tool itself doesn't add together colour to information technology.
Now, let's have a little chat for each one "Operation."
Modify/Add colors with "Basic Cut"
Every colour represents a different material. Every color represents some other cloth when a layer has "Basic Cut" as "Operation," every color represents another textile. These materials can be vinyl, paper, textile, you name it.
Select "Basic Cut" when you just want your automobile to perform a solid or straight cut on a fabric. Permit's say you want to cut a star, a card, a decal, etc.
Depending on the material you're using, bones cuts can be done with different blades. For instance, y'all'll use the fine point blade if you're cutting atomic number 26-on. If cutting arts and crafts foam, yous'll need the deep signal
blade. You'll use the bonded fabric or rotary if you're cutting fabric. And if cut basswood, you'll need the pocketknife blade.
Although you lot can select "Basic Cut" for any layer, y'all tin choose only the tools your automobile is compatible
with on the "Make it" interface.
Tip: If you are working on a single color design, you don't have to modify colors considering everything is one single mat during the cutting process.
To change colors, add something to the canvass (image, text, shape), select it, and click on the piddling square next to "Performance" to pick your color.
In that location's also an "Advanced" setting to allow you to encounter more colors and even notice them past hex code.
Change/Add colors with "Wavy"
The Wavy cut will require a "Wavy Bract" if you accept it along with a Maker machine. This type of cut will create a decorative border on your designs.
You can besides change the color of a Wavy cutting because you're cutting a solid design, only with a pretty border. Information technology tin exist fun to employ on a card, scrapbooking, party decor, etc.
Change/Add colors with "Perforate"
Perforate Cuts crave a "Perforation Blade." Select this option if you want to brand tear-offs like the ones yous meet on raffle tickets, booklet pages, etc.
You can't alter the color of a "Perforate" cut considering you need to tell your machine where and what you want to perforate; it'south non like a "Basic cut."
Larn how to use the perforation bract.
Change/Add together colors with "Pen – Draw"
Select "Pen" if you want to depict on your projects with Cricut Pens. Pens won't color your designs; therefore, the color box won't bear witness a solid color but a small stroke around information technology.
Of import: When working with more than 1 color, information technology'south e'er a good idea to select the type of pen and color yous will exist using.
Cricut uses random orders to draw, then you may use the incorrect pen if you don't assign them correctly. Something cool is that y'all can see the thickness of the pens when yous use different pen sizes.
To learn all about the Cricut Pens, make sure to read my step-by-step guide.
Change/Add colors with "Foil – Draw"
To add foil effects to your projects, you demand the Foil Transfer Kit. The kit has three unlike tips (fine, medium, and assuming) for large machines and just one tip for the Cricut Joy.
Once more, the foil kit won't foil the within of your design, it will only describe around it, and that'south why the color box will prove a stroke rather than a solid color.
Caution: Choose the right tip for your project considering some materials have compatibility issues. Bank check out Cricut'southward website to see what tips you demand for different materials.
Alter/Add colors with "Score – Draw"
Scoring will let you to add together folds to your projects. Scoring is
essential when making a card, boxes, 3d projects, etc.
You lot can utilise two unlike tools for scoring: the scoring stylus and the scoring wheel (tips 01 and 02). You can't change colors because the tool itself doesn't add any color merely adds a scoring effect on a particular material color.
Change/Add colors with "Engrave – Draw"
This functioning engraves a broad variety of materials, and to apply it; you demand the "engraving tip." It's perfect for personalizing domestic dog tags, jewelry, etc.
You can't alter colors considering the tool itself doesn't add any colour to your
cloth.
Alter/Add colors with "Deboss – Describe"
This performance volition push button the material in, and it volition create beautiful and detailed designs on paper, faux leather, etc.
To apply information technology, you lot need the "debossing tip." Yous can't alter colors because the tool doesn't add any color but instead creates a debossing effect on a item fabric.
Change/Add colors with "Print then Cut"
If y'all desire to print a particular design and then cutting information technology with your auto, then you would select "Print then Cut." With this performance, you can either apply solid colors or patterns.
At that place are two ways to tell your machine that something needs to be printed and then cut. The first is through "Performance," and the 2nd is "Flatten."
Unlike any other "Functioning," y'all canFILL in images with the colors y'all want to use.
"Impress then Cut" is 1 of my favorite features the Cricut machine has. Some of the things you lot can make with this feature arestickers andgift tags.
When you use this feature, you are putting your printer to work, and your Cricut will cut the edges of your blueprint.
Previously I mentioned that changing colors wasn't always relevant because the final color is given by the material y'all utilize or the pen you install in your machine.
Well!
That'south not the case for print then Cut designs. Before y'all send your project to your printer, you demand to brand sure to add the colors the way you want.
Something great about "Print the Cut" is that you tin can fill up in (Color) your images with patterns. Cricut has hundreds of them!(Patterns are just available on Desktop computers, the app doesn't have them).
Impress then Cut is a very robust setting, and I can't cover everything of it in this tutorial, so bank check out my helpful guide.
How do colors await similar in Cricut Design Space?
At this point, you lot know all the ways to add or change colors in Cricut Pattern Space.
Here'due south a screenshot of how each option looks in the sheet area, and so you have a better idea of how colors look when using different operations in Blueprint Space.
"Bones Cutting" and "Wavy Cut" "mages have a thin grayness outline (where the bract volition cut through) effectually the shape or design; remember this colour represents the materials you are cutting.
"Perforate" "an exist recognized when you see a dashed line.
Pen and foil depict layers are outlined. That outline represents the color of the pen or foil sheet you lot plan to use for your project. The thickness of the outline will vary according to the type of pen (marking, calligraphy pen, etc.) or foil tip (fine, medium, bold) you are using.
"Score" layers look dashed; however, the lines are a picayune bit larger when y'all compare them to "Perforate."
"Deboss" layers are represented with a solid bold outline, and "Engrave" layers are represented with a solid thin outline.
"Print then Cut" "mages have no outline. The blade will cutting through the edges of your design.
How to Change Colors of a Multi-Layer Pattern
When you download an SVG file from the internet or add an epitome from Cricut'southward library, you'll find that some designs have different colors.
Designs that accept multiple colors are chosen multi-layer designs.
Normally, these images are organized and grouped when you add them to the canvas area; therefore, if you lot modify the color right away, all the layers will accept the aforementioned colour.
Learn more about Grouping in Blueprint Infinite
To fix this issue, select the multi-layer design and click on the ungroup option located on the meridian console of the canvas area.
If images are on summit of each other, like the screenshot correct above, you'll accept a hard time changing the colors of the layers at the bottom.
The best style to change the colors of each element is from the layers panel. Select the layer you lot desire to change and click on the color square adjacent to "Operation."
How to Color images in Cricut Blueprint Space (Fill up in Images)
There'll be a moment in fourth dimension where you find an image that you honey a lot, but it's in a single layer.
Annotation: If yous desire to follow along, the post-obit prototype can exist plant in CrCricut'sibrary by the lawmaking MB30A0C5.
Look at the screenshot down below.
When y'all change the color of the pizza, all of the elements will change with it.
Likewise, if you look shut plenty, you lot'll run into some blank spaces inside the image; this is how the image was designed, and if you desire to have different colors, y'all demand to use the "Contour" tool.
This tool volition allow yous to hide/show unwanted pieces from your projects, and information technology'southward located at the bottom of the Layers console.
With the "Contour" tool, you lot can manipulate an epitome to reveal something that wasn't there before, like the blank spaces in the pizza.
Don't forget that these colors volition represent either a material, pen, foil color, or print. For instance, if yous were making a T-Shirt with vinyl after doing what I am about to teach, yous would need five different atomic number 26-on colors.
If yous are new to "Contour" and are confused about using it, make sure to read my how-to guide.
These are the steps you need to accept to color inside the "Wanna Pizza Me" image.
Step 1 – Insert Image
Add the image you want to colour to Cricut Design Infinite. Platonic images for this technique accept blank spaces.
Step ii – Make copies for each color
Indistinguishable or copy/paste the image until you have the number of colors you want to employ, plus another copy of the original image.
For this project, I used four different colors. Therefore I needed four identical copies.
Pace 3 – Center images and use Contour
Select all copies and go to the top panel and click on Align and select the selection, eye.
With the contour tool, reveal the blank spaces and modify the colors afterwards.
The all-time way to do this is by selecting each 1 of the images on the layers panel, taking into consideration the size and order of the pieces you want to color.
Well-nigh times, the original image always needs to be the outset, or lesser layer on the layers panel. The original prototype (pizza in blackness color) will be the outline or border of your pattern.
This coloring is somewhat easy considering all layers (pizza condiments) respect their space. Nonetheless, in that location are times where 1 layer can be covered by the other one.
Check out the following example to come across this in action.
This epitome is a cute little landscape and can be constitute in Cricut's library with the code MD77B2E8.
I followed the steps I mentioned before upwards until step four.
When I used the contour tool, I decided to do some of the inside colors unbroken; this means that I didn't consider the snow dots in the mountains or the stars in the sky.
I usually recommend you take your time, but if your image is very intricate and you lot are using it for "Print and so Cutting," you can focus on the gild of the layers instead.
For case, the mountains need to be underneath the snowfall (small black dots) in the layers panel; otherwise, the snow would disappear.
The club of the layers doesn't matter if you are cut vinyl or other types of materials, butif yous are using "Print then Cut" and "Flatten,"you need to make sure all the layers are in the right order.
Here'south our third and concluding case!
I followed the aforementioned steps, but this time I decided to modify colors before I used the contour tool.
As y'all tin can run across, in that location are many ways yous can practise something in Blueprint Space. Y'all get faster and figure out better ways to accomplish the same task equally you exercise.
DoDon'tver think for a moment that everything comes easy to me!
Sometimes I get into fights with my Cricut too, that'southward why I like taking my time putting in first-class content, then no one else faces the aforementioned problems I practice.
What is Color Sync in Cricut Blueprint Infinite
Some other mode to change colors in Cricut Design Space is past using "Color Sync."
This little feature doesn't get as much love equally other tools like "Weld, Slice, Attach, etc." But let me tell you that you won't stop using it one time you know why information technology's for you.
"Colour Sync" is located in the tab adjacent to the layers panel.
When you lot click on it, all the layers (images, text, shapes) that take the same color will be grouped.
In this case, you lot simply see circles, simply if you accept text, you lot will run across a little initial of the word, and if you accept an epitome, you will see a tiny icon that will stand for it every bit well.
From the Color Sync panel, yous can drag each layer to other colors, simply what I like the nearly is that if you lot select the rectangle representing each color and drag it to some other color (light-green in this case), all the colors volition modify instantly!
Isn't that astonishing?
The con with this technique is that if you lot have identical layers, you lot can't identify them one by 1. Only, if you desire to alter color in bulk, this tool will be your best friend.
What if the color you desire to add or alter it's not on the canvas?
Very simple.
Add an element, change its color for the 1 y'all want to use, and become dorsum to Colour Sync.
At present, select the colors you want to change and drag them to the new color.
It'due south like magic!
Don't you call up?
Changing Colors in Cricut Desing Space App
Most of the color tools and techniques I simply explained throughout this tutorial can be applied from your iPad/Telephone.
There are just two things that the app doesn't support:
- Using Patterns for Print then Cut
- Majority editing colors with Color Sync. It can only be done with i layer at the time.
If you take a telephone, here are some graphics that will assist y'all to find all of the things I but taught you!
"Functioning" is in the Edit menu (lesser panel).
"Colour Sync" is right by the "Edit" menu, and the "Contour" tool for coloring an prototype in Pattern Space is located in the "Deportment" bill of fare.
I actually promise these screenshots help! I desire to start considering app users more often.
Do you know that it takes me over 25 hours of work to complete a single Cricut commodity? I know, it'due south crazy! Only I like to brand sure that you understand EVERYTHING!
I would capeesh your support on Instagram / Pinterest / YouTube / equally I am trying to grow my audience to keep producing great content!
Oh!
And just then you know, I also have a library total of free SVG files and Printables for all of my subscribers, a.thousand.a Daydreamers. You lot tin see a preview correct here or go access past filling out this form.
