If Design Space brings an error is usually because your project is too big. There are also limits when sizing in Design Space, and your project can’t be larger than 11.5″ x 11.5″ if using a regular mat, or 11.5″ x 23.5″. In my experience, the most beautiful papers come in 12″ x 12″ sheets therefore, your envelope can’t be larger than that size. Keep in mind that to make envelopes, you will need, in many cases, big sheets of paper. The size of the card I wanted to use was 5″ x 3.5″. Most likely, you’ll need to click on the little lock to unlock the square’s proportions. When the square appears in the designing area, select it, and change the size on the top panel area. Click on Shapes (left panel of the canvas) and select a square. The card template is an “imaginary” shape sized according to your card size. The easiest way to resize an envelope in Cricut Design Space is by creating a “card template.” Last but not least, select all layers and click “Attach” at the bottom of the Layers panel.Īttaching is very important if you don’t do it when you click on “Make it,” your project will be all over the place.
