2-3 seedless cucumbers [about 4 cups, once cut]
1/2 cup White Balsamic Dressing
3 Tb chopped mint leaves
1 cup feta cheese
PRINT THEN CUT WITH CRICUT
The Print Then Cut option in cricut allows you to create a project in Design Space, then send it to your printer.
It will print with special registration marks that your machine will then read, to know where to cut.
Print then cut is used for things like stickers, cake toppers, or even t-shirts [using printable iron on transfer paper] or Christmas ornament inserts.
The first thing I try to tell everyone when they first get a cricut is "don't try to learn it all at once."
What you need to know to make a t-shirt is so different than what you need to know to make a card. What you need to know to cut a felt flower is completely different than what you need to know to make a print then cut sticker.
But where do you start for each of those things? Here. Start here.
I don't have tutorials for each of those things, but I do know a lot of bloggers and crafters that I trust, so when I don't have the answers, I'll direct you to them.

Most of the time, hand cutting these will be SO much faster and easier. But using a cutting machine can be helpful for the detailed centers, and for the templates for hand cutting

A rotary blade often works best for faux leather projects, but for years, I used a Cricut Air 2 [still my favorite machine] and cut faux leather often. The Above link shows the settings I used for various types.

When you cut vinyl with a cricut, you are essentially making a sticker, or decal. Once it is cut, and weeded, you will want to use a "transfer tape" to transfer the decal to the item you are placing it on. I like Dollar Tree Clear Shelf Liner [contact paper] for transfer tape.
Once the vinyl is on your item, there is no need to seal it! Often sealers will cause the vinyl to peel.
For best results, leave the vinyl on your item for at least 48 hours before washing it.
Below the section of tips is a section of various projects I've made with vinyl over the years, including links to tutorials and svgs when possible.

I didn't use an svg for my own canisters, I just used the the Collonar Font and typed the text. These canisters are from the Dollar Tree - find them in the kitchen aisle. The Vinyl is from Amazon - Frisco brand. I am loving this stuff! https://amzn.to/2D0EKUW |
