How do I upload SVG files in Cricut Design Space?

Answer:

1 In Cricut Design Space, open a new project first.

2 Click the green “New Project” button.

3 Select the “Upload” option.

4 Click the “Upload Image” button.

5 Click the “Browse” button, select the file and click “Open” or drag and drop a file onto the page.

6 A picture of the file is shown under “Prepare to Upload”. Click the “Upload” button.

7 Click the file picture you want and click “Add to Canvas”.

8 This will load the template into your new project in Design Space.

You can now follow my template instructions to complete the project.

How can I use a Cricut score tool with your designs?

Answer:

If you have a Cricut machine with a scoring tool, you will need to do a little prep work before the designs will score correctly.

1 In Cricut Design Space locate all the grouped objects with score lines.

2 Select each score line and change their "operation" to SCORE in the options at the top of the project space.

3 Now attach each set of score lines to their respective cutting piece.

4 Check if all score lines are attached correctly by going to "Make". If there is a red mat with only lines on it, this means there are score lines that still need to be attached to their pieces.

Why do I get a red mat with only lines on it when I MAKE your design in Cricut Design Space?

Answer:

This red mat just means that you need to do a little prep work before the designs will score correctly by your Cricut.

1 In Cricut Design Space locate all the grouped objects with score lines.

2 Select each score line and change their "operation" to SCORE in the options at the top of the project space.

3 Now attach each set of score lines to their respective cutting piece.

4 Check if all score lines are attached correctly by going to "Make". If there is a red mat with only lines on it, this means there are score lines that still need to be attached to their pieces.

I use a Brother Scan N Cut and get an error when importing SVG files into Canvas Workspace

Answer:

Some Scan N Cut users have received the error message "ERRS09" in Canvas Workspace when importing some SVG files. I am working on resolving this issue. The only workaround I know of is to open the SVG file in another application, such as the free vector design program, Inkscape. Then print out each piece of the design and scan them into your Scan N Cut.

If you need more help, I highly recommend Create With Sue. This website is a wonderful resource on Canvas Workspace and Scan N Cut, especially her blob post.

Holiday Magic: How One Christmas Inspired a Glowing 3D Pop-Up Card

Two tiny green eyes blinked back at us from deep within the shadows of a bright red box, and eight-year-old me completely forgot how to breathe. It was 6:00 AM on Christmas morning. The living room was dead silent, the air still smelled like night-before cinnamon and fresh pine needles, and resting beneath the lowest branch of our glowing, tinsel-covered tree was something that shouldn't have been there. A tiny meow came from within the box.

That single, magical moment—the awe, the warmth of the glowing lights, the smell of fresh pine, and the delight of an adorable little kitten peeking out from a package—became my ultimate definition of Christmas.

3D Pop-Up Train Card SVG: How to Make a Frustration-Free DIY Gift with Cricut

Hello there, crafty friend!

When the editorial team at Simply Cards & Papercraft selected our Pop-Up Train Card for their prestigious Spotlight On feature in Issue 288, September 2026, they highlighted the exact precision techniques we’re breaking down in this article (see the magazine cover at the bottom of this page).

It all started when my train-loving grandson was turning two. He and my husband spend hours playing with our home model train set-up, so I wanted to create a special handmade gift for his birthday. I had a vision of a three-dimensional antique steam locomotive popping out of a greeting card when opened. But to be completely honest, the paper had other plans at first! There were moments when I thought this 3D pop-up train card SVG might never see the light of day.

I firmly believe that paper crafting should be a quiet escape—a chance to slow down, find your flow, and make heartfelt hand craft gifts with your own two hands. Nothing ruins that peaceful feeling faster than a complex template that gets stuck or tearing cardstock. That’s why I do all the testing and "failing" in my studio first, so you can skip straight to the pure joy of a finished masterpiece.
