Obsessed With Scrapbooking has released some Cricut Gypsy video guides on the internet, and we wanted to share them with you here. This video guide shows you how to weld with the cricut gypsy. It's really not very hard, and is very similar to how it is done in Design Studio, but perhaps some of the features are in different places, so this guide helps you weld with the Gypsy very easily.
To start there are six options on the main menu:
- New
- Open
- Open as Template
- Update Cricut
- Delete File
- Link Cartridge
Open a new project and select a 12x12 Mat. You will have a blank mat with a blue line on it. The blue line indicates where the cursor is. Anything you type will come out at that spot. Touch screen to move cursor to the upper left corner so you have plenty of room to start.
Push the bottom left button to go over to cartridge section. Scroll through your cartridges tell you find the cartridge you want to use. In this video example they are using the Doodle Charm Cricut cartridge. You'll notice she also has the all new Dinosaur Tracks Cricut Cardtridge on her Gypsy as well! This is an awesome cartridge for decorating your boys rooms and parties.
Type in what you want and enter it onto the mat. You can press top left button to zoom in and press and hold the bottom left button and use your stylus to scroll around so you center your text on the screen. Remember that each square is one inch. You can increase and decrease the size with the small and large bubble on the lower right side.
Highlight a letter and move it over tell it overlaps the letter next to it a little with the arrow keys. Click the advanced tab then click the weld button (star circle diamond). Click the letter to weld it, then click the next letter and push weld again, repeat as many times as you need to weld the whole group together. To test you can push the eyeball to see if everything is welded together (push again to toggle off). If everything is red on the welded word, then you have succeeded!
Kerning is another way you can weld on the Gypsy. In the advanced tab you can enter in manual numbers to move the letters together exactly and mathematically so that they all overlap each other again. Then just hit the weld button for each letter and the letters are welded together again.
Hopefully this video and guide helps you figure out how to weld on your Gypsy. We'll be posting more Gypsy guides here very soon so stay tuned!
