thank you for sharing I am so happy that I found you on Youtube first and then found your blog.
Just got my Explore and I have literally been exploring:)
I am not new to Cricut machines so I knew what I was looking for.
I found you and with relief I say THANK YOU!
It can be a bit challenging to find what your looking for but
with your help I was able complete the project I wanted.
Again Thanks, I have signed up to follow U:)
Thank you for sharing all your great ideas. I am new to CCR and I can really learn a lot from you.
I'm having some trouble determining how to download the box card. I need the file for Cricut Design Space and some instruction what I do after I down load the file and how to get it into Design Space. Thanks!
Sondra, If you're clicking on the Design Space file link it should be opening the file for you in Design Space. There's nothing else you need to do.
If it's not working try copying the link then pasting it into the Address bar in your browser.
Narella,
Just found your post on Facebook about Inkscape, not sure I will ever use it but saved your link just in case. I also linked to follow you as well as just from what I see I think I may learn allot from you.I have had my explore since early release as at the time I was a HSN employee so got it early and with 3 months free DS and also for such a real good price I just couldn't resist. I love making cards by hand and with dies etc and really thought this would be a dream for me and my cards but you know I have made one card... the one you make that the DS has you make to learn. I have tried other things but nothing works out, and am seriously thinking of putting on ebay and selling as just not getting the enjoyment I thought I would. I have gone through many many tutorials and maybe I just have a block but it's just not working for me. Any suggestions before it rots away into my floor.
Jewel jebartle@gmail.com
Sending you an email Jewel. :)
Jewel, your email address is bouncing so I'll post my reply here:
The first thing I would do is NOT watch any youtube videos other than the official Cricut ones until you are more confident with Design Space.
As you like to make cards, you might find the Make it Now Cards section a good place to start.
From the opening Make it Now screen click on the filter in the top right corner and select Cards. Find a card you like the look of then you can either click Make it Now to be taken straight to the cut screen, or you can click Customize to change it up.
Clicking Customize is a great way to see how the cards have been put together.
If there's a particular project you have in mind (cards or anything else), let me know and I can give you more help.
Above all.... don't give up! :)
Narelle
Hi Narella,
Never really thought that the utube stuff might be a bit over my ability but now that you recommend using DS and first get comfortable with some basic things then go on and work on customizing and changing up some some things until I learn the machines capabilities and some things about DS. Gonna give your suggestion a try and hope that will help me learn more and see what happens. Thanks for your great suggestions, encouragement and offer of help, I will definitely call on you for assistance as I go along. I have no Idea why your email bounced but I don't mind getting your posts here if it is ok with you. Might be a system problem. I am getting a new high tech comp tomorrow from that 24 hr Amazon.com sale as this one is so old my keys on the key board all stick and my space bar doesn't work, drives me nuts so a new comp will also give more encouragement to try things.
Thanks again so much
Jewel
Thank you for sharing your files and all the hard work that goes into the information you share on your blog. It's very helpful.
Hi Narelle:
I posted a link to your blog for the box card in our "Crafting Circle" site. I hope that's OK.
If you've never seen our site, please check it out at http://www.craftingcircle.com
Also, thanks for all the good work you do for all of us Cricut fans. (I subscribe to both your blog and the Cricut Lovers Guide to Design Space and love them both.)
Hi Sandy
Yes, of course it's ok to link to my blog and I thank you very much for doing that. :)
I'll be sure to check out the Crafting Circle site.
Narelle
Yayyy!! Thank you for being so generous! I have wanted to make a box card for SO long and thought I wouldn't get it right. You made it SO easy! You made my YEAR! I want to make one for everybody I know! Thank you!!
You are a GEM! <3
I am so thrilled to have found your blog...I would love to be able to use the wine box to package wine glasses in that I make for weddings...however I have found that they are too small for the wine glasses that I typically buy at the Dollar Tree...I am wondering if you would be able to tell me how to adjust the box so they would fit? Looking forward to hearing from you!! my email address is cdmckee2003@outlook.com Dawn McKee
Brandi, the Expressions 2 was made with older technology. Unfortunately it's strictly a cartridge based machine. As is the Cricut Craft Room program. And as you've found, the E2 isn't compatible with Cricut Design Space. That's strictly for the Explore.
To use non-cricut images and fonts you do in fact need one of the Explore range of Cricuts. However they don't cost $400. In fact the Explore One machine has been as low as $100 at Walmart. (Currently $199)
The top of the line Explore model (the Explore Air) is currently available at Cricut.com for $249.99 less 10% and free US shipping if you use the code HAPPYCRAFTING.
Here's the link to the Explore Air page at cricut: Cricut.com You can also check the prices of the Explore One machine there.
It's also available at Amazon for $239.98. Amazon.com
Sorry it's not the answer you were hoping for.

(Both links above are my affiliate links. If you don't wish to use that link you can go directly to cricut.com or amazon.com and search for the Cricut Explore. :)
Dawn, provided you keep everything grouped you can select all and use the resize handle to stretch all the layers of the box. They'll be kept in proportion and will cut at the correct size. I use the largest piece of the box (the large red piece in the file) as a guide when I'm resizing. Make sure it is less than 11.5 x 11.5" so that it still fits on the 12x12 mat.
Here's the link to a slightly larger version that I just created using the above instructions:
Larger wine box DS file
Narelle, if we make a card with your design are we allowed to sell the card?
K-Bear... Sure! Have at it. I'll go change the info at the top of this post. :)
Hi Narelle, I have asked to join your Facebook page. I haven't had my Cricut Explore Air that long and I don't have any cards on my page but I am a crafter. I hope you'll be able to okay me joining. I like making cards, quilling, sewing and patchwork. Thank you so much for the fantastic card files they are very inspiring 😊. All the best, Julie.
I don't see a request Julie. It's possible you've requested to join the group I used to Admin for. I left there in January and now have my own group - Cricut Explore and More. Would love to see your there.
www.facebook.com/groups/cricutexploreandmore
I'll go and edit the info on this page. Thanks! :)
Thank you for your kindness in sharing your files with us! They are all so nice!
Hi! I am WAY late to the party, but wondering how to upload the box card file into design space beta. Can you help?
Hi Darla. Here is the Design Space 3 link to the plain box card:
Plain box card DS3
The scalloped and top not versions are available in the Design Space Projects Links album in my Facebook group: Cricut Explore and More
Thank you so much for generously posting your great files for us to use.
How do you share your files that you created using the copy and paste URL in design space. I've been told it only works for Cricut images but I have seen others sharing their files like you are. How do you do it in DS3. Thank you so much
Only Design Space files that consist of just Cricut images (and any font) can be shared.
If the project contains an uploaded image (an SVG for eg) it cannot be shared.
