Shown here with the Cricut machine by itself, here’s a technique that is also helpful with Cricut Design Studio, the Gypsy or with Sure Cuts A Lot. Use this when you need to see in advance exactly where the Cricut is going to cut in relation to the mat. This is especially helpful when cutting around printouts, cropping photographs and any other applications where you want the printing to be perfectly centered or otherwise positioned within the cut.

I’ve been looking for a method to do this for the longest time. I have a question…can you do multiple cuts? For example…I’m doing cupcake toppes and I usually have to cut the circles and print the pictures on a round label to put in on. Is there a way I can print my topper pics and cut them out 12 at a time using this method. Thanks so much for sharing 🙂

You can do it, but it’s more complicated to get the print file to match the cut file, of course. Cricut creep is another issue. I usually have best results doing about a half page at a time.
