Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Philly Phanatic SVG in Cricut

1. Download and Unzip the Files

After purchasing, download the Philly Phanatic SVG file bundle. Make sure to unzip the folder to access all the included formats like SVG, PNG, EPS, and STUDIO3.

2. Upload the SVG to Cricut Design Space

• Open Cricut Design Space
• Click “New Project”, then “Upload”
• Choose the SVG file (not the PNG or PDF) for full layer control
• Name and tag your file to keep it organized

3. Customize the Design

You’ll see that the SVG is layered by color, so you can:

• Change colors to match your preferred palette
• Resize the design depending on your garment
• Delete or duplicate layers to add personal touches

4. Prepare to Cut

Select “Make It”, choose your material settings (like Everyday Iron-On), and let Cricut do the rest.

5. Weed and Press

Once cut, weed the excess vinyl, align your design on your garment, and press with a heat press or iron.

Tips for Best Results

• Use mirror mode if you’re cutting heat transfer vinyl
• Pre-press your garment for a few seconds to remove moisture
• Peel the transfer sheet slowly after pressing

What If You Want to Edit Colors Before Uploading?

Good news! The file bundle includes a Canva-compatible SVG, so you can easily upload the design to Canva, change colors, add text, or layer it with other graphics before exporting.

Compatible Cricut Machines and Beyond

This design works perfectly with:

• Cricut Maker
• Cricut Explore Air 2
• Cricut Joy
• And even with other machines like Silhouette, Brother ScanNCut, and Roland cutters
