2) Choose your images. (I've left the DS image number to the two I used here above, in the Supplies section.)

3) Un-Group the image, and edit the text to your needs.

4) Switch the operation type on the lettering to DRAW.

5) Attach the drawn text to the cut egg.

6) Here's where I color sync the eggs, but in the end it didn't matter. I went back to edit the text on "emerald" and it changed the operation type back to cut. You'll see my mess up soon.

7) Size the egg to fit on the Joy mat.

8) We're cutting on mat.

9) I selected 80lb cardstock for mine, but if you're using something else you may need a different setting.

10) Ready to go!

11) Load order, and mat prep.

Thought it was odd it didn't ask for the pen first, but paid no attention to the fact that it had changed to cut.

12) Follow on screen prompts. Cricut will guide you through the pen to blade switch and unloading your finished product!

Yay, you're done!

See the "cut" mess/mistake/fail? Happens to all of us.
