Yes, you can definitely share Cricut projects with friends! Here are the different methods:
Sharing through Cricut Design Space:

Sharing methods by platform:
For Cricut Access subscribers: - Projects using Access images/fonts can be shared more freely - Recipient needs Access subscription to use those elements
For purchased images: - You can share the project file - Recipient needs to purchase the same images to cut the project
For original designs: - You have full sharing rights - Can share project files or exported cut files
Important limitations: - Cricut Access content: Friends need subscription to use those elements - Purchased designs: Each person needs their own license - Project complexity: Very complex projects might not transfer perfectly
Best practices for sharing: 1. Flatten and weld your design before sharing 2. Include instructions if there are specific steps 3. Test the shared link yourself first 4. Use cloud storage like Google Drive for large files
Sharing Cricut projects is a great way to collaborate and help friends who are new to Cricut crafting. Just be mindful of the licensing restrictions on any commercial elements you didn't create yourself.
