The Slice tool in Cricut will not work if more than two items are selected at once. The Slice tool will not work on a flattened print and then on a cut image. The Slice tool will not work on a multilayer image with more than two layers. For cutting, you will need to weld the image.

The Cricut Cutter splits two overlapping images into several parts by “cropping one image from the other”. Basically, it applies all the cut lines of two selected images to both images at the same time, leaving the “shape of one image” cropped from the other. This watering can is a great example of how you can reverse images. As you can see in picture 1 it is cut out in the shape of a square.

I wanted it to be like the last image as a cropped file to create an iron-on image for a gardening bag for my mother-in-law. I bought a Cricut without knowing much about it (just the fact that it was a must for all craftsmen). Yes, you can create smaller scale reverse paper cutouts in Cricut Joy, see more about Cricut Joy here. Cut one image into another.

This will help you design your own images so you never have to buy an SGV file or cut again, also see how to add your own images to Cricut Design Space. I’ve seen several tutorials in Cricut Design Space, but I haven’t seen one yet where you can learn how to crop images and/or photos. Cricut’s Slice tool is one of five basic design tools that allows you to work with layers within Cricut Design Space (the others are Weld, Attach, Flatten, and Outline). I have learned things here and beyond watching, it seems that all the videos on YouTube or posts on Pinterest or even on the Cricut website and many times I even tried without success to cut this design.

Now is the time to interlace “Slice” with other tools and create something new from two existing images within the Cricut Library. All the things I’ve been teaching you throughout this tutorial can be done within the Cricut Design Space app. Cricut Design Space automatically treats text added with the Type tool as a single-layer image, so it can be cut without having to do anything special before cutting it. Some Cricut fonts have multiple layers, which means they are automatically displayed as a text layer with a duplicate “shadow layer” underneath that is hidden by default.

If you are a beginner and are still discovering Cricut software, I recommend that you read my fantastic and definitive Cricut Design Space tutorial. The Slice tool is a very powerful setting in Cricut Design Space that allows you to crop a shape, text, or image from others. In the Cricut app, the “Slice” tool is on the “Action” button located in the bottom panel of the canvas area. You can also use Cricut’s cut feature to stamp a photo into a certain shape as they did here with this heart-shaped wedding photo.
