This class is for people who already know a little about using a computer and want to learn how to design custom projects in Canva and bring them to life using a Cricut cutting machine. Over 6 weeks, we will practice navigating Canva’s easy design tools, working with fonts and shapes, and learning the "secret" to moving your designs into the Cricut software to create professional-looking items like personalized cards, vinyl decals, and gift tags.
