Once you type your text, with the text box selected, look for the "offset" button at the top of the screen.
I used an offset of .097. That seems to be my default for most projects.
Slice the offset from the base text.
Offset also works on images - and easily creates backgrounds for stickers:
Now you can simply select your project, create an offset, and flatten your images and text to the offset.
Once flattened, print your image, then put it in your cricut machine and it will cut just the offset, not each letter and individual piece.
Here's a project where this new feature will come in handy!
For this, which I made years ago, I used a print then cut hack that no longer exists. NOW, with offset available, you can simply create the offset , slice that "shadow" layer from the last name, and then delete the offset shadow, leaving an empty space for the first names text to fit in. I'll update the tutorial soon - here's the original:

WOW! It works... Thanks you for the update!
