thanks
Hi,
Thank you for this great information. I downloaded a box from Templatemaker, but my Cricut says that it is to large and to reduce the image to 11.5 to 23.5 or less. How do you do this? My image must have downloaded too big, but it is a 9″ by 3″ box with lid. (I guess it may be a little longer with the flaps.). Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Christine
Hi Christine, Thank you for your question. As far as I can tell, each download on Templatemaker has a Cricut SVG option. There may be a problem with the downloads. If you are having trouble you should contact the Templatemaker site for help! Good luck with your projects!
