Next, it’s time to write out the invitation with the Cricut Maker. How to insert Cricut pens into your machine: You can see in the screenshot below that all of the text on my invite appears in the correct location just as I designed it on the canvas. In the mat preview, you can check to see if all of the text has attached correctly to the shape. To do this, select all of your text, hold down ctrl on your keyboard, select the shape, and then click ‘attach’ (bottom right). This tells your Cricut to write the text onto that shape, in the exact placement you have designed. Once you have finished your design and welded anything that needs to be welded, you can attach all of the text to the card (the rectangle). The rest of the text does not need to be welded because the letters are not connected. On my invitation I welded together ‘baby shower,’ ‘Amy Hyslop,’ and ‘it’s a girl’ as they were all script font. ![]() It’s important to weld because you want the pen to write the cursive in one smooth line instead of picking up the pen for each letter.
