CRICUT OFFSET ON IPAD AND IPHONE

Cricut Design Space App update v5.6 for cricut offset iphone and ipad.

Celebrate! The Cricut Offset feature has been added to the recent update of Cricut Design Space APP v5.6 This new feature is available for your IOS devices, including iPad & iPhones. I am beyond excited to show you how to offset on iPhone and iPad.

Just a quick side note for Android users. This offset feature is coming soon, just not yet. For Android users, you can use this method to make offsets while you wait for your update

Some may refer to offset as a shadow effect but I will only be using the wording of offset to avoid any confusion.

Also, if you are a new Cricut user, you may be wondering what all the fuss is about. The Cricut Offset feature has been available in the Cricut Design Space Desktop version for quite some time. Creators who did not have a laptop or desktop computer have been anxiously waiting for this exciting Cricut Design Space Application Update v5.6

This recent update also includes the addition of “Guides” for iPad & iPhone users too. I show how to use both new features in my YouTube video using my iPad.

You can watch the short video or just below I show the exact same steps using screenshots of the process.

The photo below shows the completed offset. I also tapped on the layers button so you can see it there too. When done with your design, you can click on “Make It”.

At this point, you may be wondering the difference between the “Weld” option is either on or off. The picture above I had the weld slider turned on.

The picture below shows how the offset would look if I had the Weld slider turned off.

As you can see in the layers panel, it offsets the tulip heads separate from the flower stem. Now this could be awesome if you only wanted an offset for the tulip heads and wanted to delete the offset for the flower stems. So it really depends on how you want your design to look.

I love the fact we choose to have the weld slider on or off. Below you can see when I moved the images apart so you can see the pieces better.

I know you all will come to love using Offset using your iPad and iPhones. You waited patiently and it’s here. Yay!
