Note: for the sake of simplicity, I will give my step by step process using only these 2-word shapes. I then repeat the process of saving the image and placing it in my “Word Families” folder on my desktop. I also want to simply have the word shape, without the letters, so I will click on “Remove text”, to create a bubbled shape.

Feel free to add comments to this post and share how you have used the Cricut to create your “Bubbled” words.Ĭolor Printer (I use a Brother HL-4570CDW)Ĭricut Cutting Machine (I use a “Cricut Maker”)īlack, cardstock weight paper (I use 65 lb.)
