3D Gnomes in Design Space
Upload your choice of gnome Holding Heart or String of Hearts. Once you open them up and load to Design Space you will see the different layers on the panel to the right.
Here I ungrouped the gnome so you can see the different layers that will cut and then how you will put them together using foam dots between layers.
You can see there is one solid white background that you will adhere the layers to.
Attach the solid cap to the white and then the cut out cap on top of that. Then attach the purple body to the white, then the heart and cuffs on top of the sleeves. Attach the mustache and then the nose.
Repeat the same for the Gnome with the string of hearts paying attention to the layers shown here.
PNG Gnomes in Design Space
Upload the PNG for your choice of gnome and select Complex.
Since it is a PNG image, you do not have to remove any background. Go ahead and Apply and Continue.
Select Print and Cut and Upload to canvas.
Resize using the bottom left arrows by dragging or type in your dimensions in the tool bar.
For Print and Cut the width can be no larger than 6.75″ and the height no larger than 9.25″.
You can resize them smaller to make stickers. Just be sure that when they are grouped together, the measurements fall within those size limits.
Select your material by typing in the search box to find what you are printing on. Sticker paper or Printable Vinyl or even Printable HTV.
Click on Print and select your printer. Turn off Bleed and select Use system dialog and click on print. Your printer’s menu will open and you can them make more selections based on what you are printing. I selected higher quality before I printed.
Select your material and watch the Cricut begin to read the black registration lines and then cutting out your design.
Sublimation
From your computer double click on the PNG so it will open up. Click on print and select your preferences. I used High Quality and printed on my Epson ET-2760 that is just for sublimation (has sublimation ink in it).
Then use your heat press (follow their instructions) to press onto your material. I used a Cricut’s T-shirt for kids and and Adult T-Shirt I found at a local store.
That’s all there is too it!
