How To: Larger than Joy Mat (Mobile Design Space App)

 Hey Y'all!

Today I'm going to share how to cut images that are larger (wider) than the Cricut Joy will allow (4in).

First, if you're new to Design Space, I have a whole series on How To: Design Space starting here:

Now onto today's How To:

Larger than Joy Cutting Mat!

Step 1) Open DS and choose your image.

2) Load it on the canvas:

3) Choose a shape, I find the square easiest to work with, and lay it over top of your image.

4) Size the square to the limitations, the Joy will allow. (Less than 4in width.)

5) Slice the square from the image. I could have made this longer, and only had two cuts, but this way we get the practice in.

6) Repeat steps 3-5.

7) Get ready to prep your mats and cut your image(s).

8) Connect your Joy if not already done.

9) Cut all your mats and piece your project back together!

Here's another Larger than Mat How To, which follows the same steps, but in more detail:
