Create Layers And Shadows Using Offset in Cricut

Using an Offset is a fabulous way to make text pop or add more layers for additional colors with vinyl projects, paper crafts and more!

[{"selector":"#anim-05d77126-1a75-42aa-9331-7909e9c69b56","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-23d62eb9-d962-4c01-81f4-743347df0b74","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 181.48150%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

In this Cricut tutorial, I will show you how to use the Offset feature in Cricut Design Space!

[{"selector":"#anim-6c1e8bc2-670f-486f-a23e-aa6d8a20f853","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e00955ea-a106-4e23-b16a-d099f4607f7d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -220.47442%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Offsets will work with:

[{"selector":"#anim-01082db9-dac0-41df-9a1b-d556e9102a07","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-89685cee-4e21-40b1-9f47-be3bda2a6142","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0dbdfaf3-2adc-4673-94cb-4334a70fb08f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8d667294-57fd-4d93-8d39-db61b48824cd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-126.0223%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] 1. Text 2. SVG images, single or grouped 3. PNG or Jpeg images Learn more

Print then cuts such as stickers or labels – before you flatten a design for print then cut try creating a large offset.

[{"selector":"#anim-64fb1240-9607-40f6-a6de-68101378badf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-27f10290-d7b4-43fe-836b-ba3186db47bf","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 521.43558%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-597d6379-157a-499d-b807-994c60639847","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-350a5fd3-e459-4220-8ac5-1e2739d0019a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 2556.88736%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Use offset to create a layer behind text on cards or when layering vinyl/iron-on. Anytime text is a struggle to read an offset can fix that!

[{"selector":"#anim-2d09ad59-bb34-405b-8116-da0184aac318","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5231f890-b728-4217-9366-84d8672be2d0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -404.14822%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Use offsets to create new layers with the Slice tool! I chose one single image, created an offset, then Sliced the original design from my offset layer.

[{"selector":"#anim-4d939955-df97-4f11-9952-42ae3d7e0f05","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e1c9ff8e-396a-4004-aafb-95002aeca2c3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 424.81489%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

As a result, I have two beautiful layers that will work well for layering a paper card!

[{"selector":"#anim-09a4614a-b334-4db0-825a-18b5a66c65d8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4ab3aaa8-576a-45ee-8f5b-849d69c17de7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -650.81163%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Create offsets on imported PNG or Jpeg images for Print Then Cut projects.

[{"selector":"#anim-4e65a6f1-5f3d-40b5-b54b-717db55a988b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c2d91ce9-4f8c-4427-81a3-65ba2da3ff7f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 689.01397%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more
