How to use offset in cricut design space

So what is an offset? An offset is like a shadow of text or an image. It can be a small layer or a very exaggerated layer that has the save curves as the image it is offsetting.

I just inserted an image. Now look what pops up when I click on the Offset drop down. A box appears with just a few options. There is a Distance which lets you control how big the outline or offset will be. Then you can choose either rounded corners or square corners.

Offset Tips

The default offset color is grey. I just clicked on the layer and changed the colors so you can see it better!

It’s really fun to play with different images and the Cricut offset function. I found this cute little gnome to my canvas.

For Stickers: Then with the offset, image, and text selected I clicked on Flatten. This will squish all of the layers into one printable image.
