How to Use the Slice Tool in Cricut Design Space Mobile App

Today we’ll focus on how to use the Slice tool in Cricut Design Space App. If you're using the desktop version of Cricut, make sure to check out this guide on slicing in Design Space on the desktop.

Step 1. Create a New Project

After signing in, create a new Cricut Design Space project. You can easily do this by clicking on the blue rectangle box that is labeled New Project.

 Step 2. Insert Your Shape

Today I'll be creating a circle using the Shapes Icon in Cricut. This will be one of the items we use to slice. Remember that this process can be used for your uploaded items as well.

Step 3. Type out Your Text

Click on the big “T” at the bottom of your screen to type out your text. Today I'll be using a handwritten font called Farmland.

After creating your text, lay it in the center of the circle. Please note that this process will still work even if the text is underneath the circle.

Step 4. Slice Objects

Select both objects and slice. To slice, first, click on the Action icon located on the bottom toolbar. Once you do this, another toolbar will appear right above it, and you can now click on the slice icon.

Your objects are now sliced. Pull layers apart and delete unwanted items on your canvas screen.
