Writing with FUN fonts in Cricut


LOOK what this machine can do!  It's so much more artistic than I am!  :-)

For quite awhile now, I've been testing out fonts that write as handwriting fonts in cricut.  FREE fonts, that do not outline when used in the writing feature.  I've found 22 of them, and I've been happy playing with those.

But today I learned something new.  The cricut will also write FUN fonts.  Drawing fonts.  I don't need any signs right this minute, but when I DO need a sign, this is going to be fun.



When I posted this on a cricut facebook group, immediately I got comments that the cricut would not draw these like shown above.    But my cricut DID draw what is shown above - that's a photo of the results!  My cricut air 2 drew those, I took a picture of the paper it drew on.  I know - I didn't believe it would work either - but it does!!

FREE Fonts Used: (click on links to download)
Urban Cuisine
Sketch 3D
Cast Iron
Good Morning
Zengo
Orange Juice  (this one takes extra long to write - but I love how it looks)
RingMaster  (I think this would be better with a thinner tip)


All done with Leisure Arts Markers (no adapters needed - they fit right in the pen slot)

Fonts With Tails (Glyphs) Cheat Sheet

Glyphs are extra characters in fonts.  For fonts like Samantha (a paid font - there is no free version) you have to use a character map to access the extra swirls. There are a few fonts, such as I Love Glitter, where you can quickly add swirls (nothing as ornate as Samantha, but still pretty!) just by adding a few characters such as * \ [ ] or ().  I call them "easy glyphs". Download all four of these cheat sheets as a pdf file, here.  If that link does not work (too much traffic) Try This One. Links to download each font are found under the photos.

How To Use New Fonts In Phonto On Android

There are lots of apps to add fonts to android devices, but I really didn't want to add fonts to my android system.  I have a zillion fonts on my phone already.  What I wanted was to be able to use fonts like I love Glitter in Phonto.   Cliff Notes - Just add them to the fonts folder in the Phonto App.  Phonto has a "how to" for installing fonts on android, but it did not work for me.  This is what worked: My fonts are all backed up in dropbox. That makes this simple - but you could also send the font to your phone through email, and save to your downloads folder.   I just opened dropbox, went to the font, clicked on it, chose export/save to device, and saved to my downloads folder. Then I went to my downloads folder (Use "My Files" - in your app drawer. )  LONG click on the font.  If you just open it, you may get a message saying you do not have an app to pen this file.  You want to select the font, which you do by holding down on ...

Christmas Pillows - Layering HTV

My daughter in laws asked for some throw pillows for Christmas, and I wanted a few for myself here as well.  I have more to make, but the first two designs are done, and I love how they turned out! The Red Truck svg is free here: http://caluyadesign.com/old-truck-christmas-tree-free-svg.html Ungroup, and hide the Noel.  I added our last name in the Bromello font https://www.dafont.com/bromello.font I did not use the white circles - I liked it better without them. Don't forget to reverse your design before cutting!  I use select all and flip horizontal rather than using mirror - because that way I am sure it is all done before I start cutting. I use a plain old iron (literally old - probably 80s model - I bought a couple of good old heavy irons at the thrift store, and love them.  ) a silicone baking mat, and a pillow case.  I sew my own pillow cases - details are here (and it's SUPER easy - a great beginners sewing project)  First I ironed the pillow case, ...
