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.

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.
