How to Place Images in Text in Cricut Design Space

Today we'll focus on how to place an image within a text. This can be used to create wonderful gifts, favors and more.

 Step 1. Create a New Project

Once you are have logged in, create a new project in Cricut Design Space by simply clicking on the green button that is labeled New Project on the top right-hand corner.

Step 2. Upload Images

Now that you are on the canvas screen you can now start the upload process. Use the Upload button on the left side of your screen to get started. Today I will be uploading an image of beach rocks and a photo of boats in the water. I'll be uploading these images as a print and cut project. We have a great tutorial on Print and Cut images in Cricut Design Space if needed.
 

Step 3. Type out Text

Today I'll be working with Cheeky Bite By Amber Nest Design to start the design process. I'll start by typing out a simple word using my text tool. If you need help with Cricut Design Space Text tool we have a great tutorial to show you how.
Once you have typed out your text go to your Operation Tab and click on the down arrow. A box will appear and you can now click Score. Your text will become transparent and you can now easily organize your images.

Step 4. Organize Your Images

Resize and organize your images to fit within your score text. You can use as many photos as you like for this project but for today I'll just be using two. I'll resize and place my rock photo within my bottom text and my water photograph on my to text.

Step 5. Slice Image

After organizing your images you can now slice each photograph. You can do this by selecting your score text along with the photo beneath it and clicking on the Slice button.

Continue to repeat this process until all your photographs are sliced. When you are finished you can delete all the unnecessary layers including your text score lines. This will leave you with a beautiful image inside your text.

Step 6. Flatten Your Image

Select both of your images and click on the Flatten button. This will bring both layers together as one print and cut project.

Click on the green Make It button on the top right-hand corner of your screen and follow your computer prompt to use the print and cut feature.
