Cricut Cheat Sheets & Printables

A few of the various cheat sheets I have made and used over the years, for crafting with Cricut:

My Cheat Sheet of My Favorite Fonts
is updated regularly. I include links to download each of them, and all of these are free, most are from Dafont: http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/12/my-favorite-fonts-cheat-sheet.html

Fonts With Tails Cheat Sheet

This cheat sheet is for fonts with "easy glyphs". Fun fonts like I love glitter, where you can quickly access the pretty tails and swirls without needing a full character map (as is needed for Samantha). I update this post regularly, and have links to download all of the FREE fonts here as well. http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/09/fonts-with-tails.html

Writing Fonts Cheat Sheet

Most fonts will write as an outline in cricut, but I have a long list of FREE fonts that will collapse on themselves and work great as writing fonts. I'm constantly adding to this, so be sure to actually go to the link and check out the full sample sheet, and all the links for downloading them can be found there too.

Alternative Pens For Cricut
I keep testing new ones, so please check the link. I have samples of how various pens work in Cricut - with no modifications. These do not require removing anything, or using pencil grips - these all just slip right into the machine the same as if they were the official Cricut Markers. But some of them write so much nicer than the cricut markers - and they are all cheaper! http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/12/alternative-markers-for-cricut.html

In Addition to writing, cricut can draw. These are some great fonts for sketching words with cricut: http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/12/writing-with-fun-fonts-in-cricut.html

Design Space Basics

I need to update this one - the menu for line types looks a little different since all of the updates, although the basic idea is still the same...

How To Make A Birth Stat Elephant With Cricut

There are lots of apps to add fonts to android devices, but I really didn't want to add fonts to my android system. I have a zillion fonts on my phone already. What I wanted was to be able to use fonts like I love Glitter in Phonto.

Cliff Notes - Just add them to the fonts folder in the Phonto App.

Phonto has a "how to" for installing fonts on android, but it did not work for me. This is what worked:

My fonts are all backed up in dropbox. That makes this simple - but you could also send the font to your phone through email, and save to your downloads folder.

I just opened dropbox, went to the font, clicked on it, chose export/save to device, and saved to my downloads folder.

Then I went to my downloads folder (Use "My Files" - in your app drawer. )
LONG click on the font. If you just open it, you may get a message saying you do not have an app to pen this file. You want to select the font, which you do by holding down on it, not just tapping it. A check mark should appear on the left.

Now choose "move"

Internal Storage/Phonto/Fonts
Your Phonto file might be in a different location, that is where mine was.

Add the font to the font folder.

Now open Phonto, and when you add text, choose font, and select "my fonts". You will see the fonts you put in that folder.

Another quick way to do this is to hook your phone to your computer with a usb cable, and drag all the fonts you want in phonto to that folder.
